Legislative Wish List: Stafford School Board Seeks More State Funding

- Requesting more state funding from the legislature to pay employees competitive salaries.
- Asking the General Assembly for 100% of the "cost of competing adjustment" (COCA) funding.
The school division currently receives 25% of the COCA funding due to its proximity to Northern Virginia.
