Hampton City Schools is projected to receive additional one-time state funding (e.g. Basic Aid, State Sales Tax, At-Risk and Supplemental Lottery funds) based on a projected increase in average daily membership by 194 students.  This funding shall be used for one-time expenditures for FY 2019.  Hampton City Schools has identified $2,734,074 in funds that qualify and is requesting that the City Council elect and move forward with this appropriation.
