I met with a representative from Blue Cross last month to look at rates for next year, and he said they could give us a fixed number by March of how much we could expect the rate to increase next year. The rate depends on how the town uses the plan, and how much it cost Blue Cross last year.

Say what you will about small town schools, ... but they give more individual attention and have smaller class size.

I just think it would have helped the small schools.

The R&R committee for years has wanted to get the Roanoke Valley schools in Region IV.
