A JAUNT busThe boulder thrown into the JAUNT and JABA funding pool by the Fluvanna Board of Supervisors is sending waves throughout the community.

On Wednesday (May 9) Fluvanna’s senior citizens gathered at the Community Center in Fork Union to be heard.

Florence Pugh was just one of five members of the center who spoke about what the JABA-supported activities mean to them. Fluvanna County was one of five local governments that started the Jefferson Area Board on Aging in 1975.

“I’m part of the establishment,” Pugh said. “I was here when it opened and I guess when it’s gone, I’ll be gone.”

New Fluvanna County High School

New high school may not open

By cutting school funding by $2.3 million, the Board of Supervisors voted 3 – 2 Wednesday (May 2) to raise the tax rate less than three pennies, from 57 cents to just under 60 cents per $100 of assessed value.

The advertised tax rate the Board voted for in March was 68 cents. That number included fully funding the schools.

The new rate puts into question opening the new high school, said Superintendent Gena Keller.

“That’s not a threat, or political ploy, it’s the reality,” Keller said.
