The Loudoun County School Board on Tuesday formally requested an additional $14 million in funding from the county Board of Supervisors.

Last month, the board was told by Chief Financial Officer Sharon Willoughby that budget delays at the state level meant Loudoun County received $14 million more for the school division than LCPS had requested based on the guidance it had available at the time.

Willoughby said the county board could either give LCPS the extra $14 million or it could lower its local tax contribution to the schools for this year by $14 million, leaving the LCPS budget the same.
