Team Amelia: We are providing clarification regarding a question asked by Mr. Neller during the April School Board meeting.

In the article on the school board meeting, published in last week's Amelia Bulletin Monitor, on pg 13 at the top of column 4, the question Mr. Neller asked was, “What percentage of the school budget was for personnel?” The answer provided by Mrs. Bullock, Director of Finance, was “more than 80%”, not 8%.
