The Galax school system is offering raises for teachers and adding some teaching positions after scaling back its staff over the past couple of years.
Schools Superintendent Bill Sturgill presented the fiscal year 2015-2016 budget for the school system at Galax City Council’s meeting last month.
(Council held a public hearing on the school budget Monday.)
Sturgill explained that the revenue summary shows a reduction in state funds of $332,000, but $210,000 of that drop is from an expired grant that paid for extending the school year.
