ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) - Gov. Terry McAuliffe will propose spending $139.1 million to help Virginia school districts hire 2,500 new teachers.
    
Multiple media outlets report that the governor detailed his K-12 spending plan Wednesday morning at Fairfax County's Mark Twain Middle School.
    
McAuliffe says his budget is intended to restore some of the 5,000 school positions lost since 2008 and bring per-pupil state spending to a new high.
    
He says the money would be distributed to fund one additional position at each elementary school, and two at each middle school and high school.
    
The governor said his two-year budget plan, which he'll present to General Assembly money committees Thursday morning, also provides $429.8 million to fully fund the cost of establishing new benchmarks for the state's Standards of Quality.

    Progress on Bowers Beach Drainage Project at Mercy of the Tides

    Wrapping up the major replacement of a drainage system beneath an oft-flooded in Bowers Beach has proved to be a slower process than some town officials and neighbors have hoped for.

    A new drainage pipe has recently replaced a smaller and older one beneath Hubbard Avenue, a frequent spot for flooding after heavy rain. The system is intended to help flood waters disperse more quickly into the Murderkill River.
