Before the Winter Break we notified parents that students would be taking a statewide Student School Climate Survey mandated by the Virginia Department of Education. This survey was scheduled to be conducted from Monday, January 14, 2019 to Friday, February 8, 2019. Based on feedback from principals and school administrators, Dr. Brabrand, in collaboration and consultation with the State Superintendent, has granted an exemption of the VDOE Student School Climate Survey for this year. Therefore, the VDOE Student School Climate survey will not be administered.
On January 10th, Dr. Brabrand presented the FY 2020 Proposed Budget of $3.0 billion to the School Board. This budget represents an increase of $117.4 million, or 4.1 percent, over the FY 2019 Approved Budget.
Compensation highlights in the Proposed Budget include:
- $55.2 million – Final phase of a multi-year plan to bring teacher salaries to the market average including a 1.0 percent market scale adjustment for teacher salary scales.
- $46.8 million – Step increases for all eligible employees.
- $8.2 million – 1.0 percent market scale adjustment for non-teacher employees.
In addition, the budget brings the school district closer to aligning with the four key priorities in the strategic plan: Student Success, Caring Culture, Premier Workforce, and Resource Stewardship.
Dr. Brabrand’s Proposed Budget is just the beginning of a process that will end in May with the School Board’s Adopted Budget. FCPS staff as well as other community members will have an opportunity to weigh in on the Proposed Budget at public hearings. There will also be public School Board work sessions, where board members will discuss their budget priorities.
In FY 2019, FCPS received full funding for the first time in more than 20 years, thanks to meaningful and ongoing collaboration with the Board of Supervisors and the County Executive’s office. He is looking forward to working with them again to maintain FCPS’ status as a national model for excellence and equity in public education.
Please stay tuned for more budget updates in the coming weeks and months. In the interim, we encourage you to view FCPS’ FY 2020 Budget Development Calendar for more information.
