 School Board Votes to Adopt Fiscal Year 2025 Approved Budget
The Fairfax County School Board voted to adopt Fairfax County Public Schools’ (FCPS) Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Approved Budget at their last board meeting. The FY 2025 Approved Budget totals $3.7 billion — a net increase of $233.2 million or 6.6% over the previous year.
The FY 2025 Approved Budget focuses on providing educational excellence for all students and ensuring that employees’ hard work and dedication are acknowledged through competitive compensation. Both of these efforts fully align with the FCPS 2023-30 Strategic Plan.
Nearly 86% of the Approved Budget is targeted at instruction. Key budget highlights include funding for a 4% compensation increase for all employees; maintaining existing class size formulas and providing necessary support to all students; and expanding athletics offerings, additional athletic trainers, and enhanced stipends for fine and performing arts.

Kilmer Center Learning Space
Dear Kilmer Center School Families,
We have a vision to create a vibrant outdoor learning space for all students to access at Kilmer Center School. This learning space will be constructed directly beside our school building with a designated walkway directly leading to the learning space. The learning space will be a large area consisting of beautiful pavers and brick.
A special element of this space is it will enable us to memorialize past students. Families can have their child's name engraved on a commemorative brick, permanently displayed within the learning space. Additionally, we're incorporating a beautiful central grassy area perfect for planting seasonal flowers, fostering a connection with nature and beautifying the space. We have a vision to add seating options to provide a comfortable and peaceful place to embrace the tranquil setting.
This exciting project will benefit not only our students but also the entire Kilmer Center community. Your tax-deductible donation will play a crucial role in bringing this vision to life.
Scan the included QR code or click here to make your contribution today.
Thank you for your support in creating a lasting impact on our school and fostering a love for learning in our students!
Sincerely,
Hoang H Nguyen
Principal
Kilmer Center School
