Kudos to the Falls Church City Council for arriving at a final budget for the coming fiscal year that did not tamper with the well-thought out funding request from the Falls Church School Board. Those on the Council who were obsessing almost up to the last minute about shaving the schools’ contingency fund to avoid a tax hike finally realized it was more important to affirm the integrity of the School Board’s best efforts and find other ways to keep the tax rate even.
