Education, job growth, a declining housing market, and their effects on Fairfax County’s fiscal outlook dominated the first 2008 conversation between the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and the School Board on Monday. The two bodies have met occasionally throughout the past few years to address the revenue and construction needs of the school system, which receives nearly 73 percent of its revenue as a transfer from the county’s General Fund. The School Superintendent’s proposed Fiscal Year 2009 budget request is for $1.642 billion.
