Does the Board of Supervisors approve expenditures for county schools?

The Roanoke County School Board approves and has oversight of the school budget. While the county Board of Supervisors determines the total amount of local tax dollars spent on education (via transfers to schools), the school board is responsible for allocating these funds to individual programs in the school system. State law dictates that the county Board of Supervisors must approve the School Board's budget as part of the county's annual budget process.
