School Board Unanimously Adopts the FCPS 2025-26 Budget
The Fairfax County School Board unanimously adopted the FCPS Fiscal Year 2025-26 Approved Budget. Facing years of chronic underfunding, the final budget required $121 million in reductions to the needs-based budget that was carefully developed with the FCPS community’s high expectations in mind. While these cuts and reductions will impact our classes, the school division will continue to do what is necessary to provide a world-class education for every student. Read more about the budget in this news release.

May is Fight the Bite Awareness Month in Fairfax County! Did you know the bite of an infected mosquito or tick can lead to a life-changing illness like West Nile virus or Lyme disease? The Fairfax County Health Department recommends using insect repellents that contain EPA-registered ingredients like DEET or picaridin to prevent bites. Be sure to follow product instructions when using repellents. In addition to wearing repellent, follow these steps:
- Wear long, loose light-colored clothing outdoors.
- Treat clothing, shoes, and gear with permethrin. Be sure to follow product instructions.
- Shower as soon as possible after outdoor activities. Make sure to check for ticks on yourself and family members after spending time outdoors.
- Put clothes in the dryer for 10 minutes on high heat after spending time outdoors. This will kill ticks that may be attached to dry clothing.

Summer is on the way and it is time to get wet! Did you know that May is National Water Safety Month? Swimming is a physical activity that offers many health benefits; however, injuries can happen, and germs can be spread. With a little education, you can play a role in preventing illnesses and injuries when you swim, play, and relax in the water. It is critical that children never be around water unsupervised. Drowning is the leading cause of death for children between 3 and 5 years of age. Swim Healthy Virginia is an excellent resource to learn more about recreational water illnesses, swimming safety, beach monitoring, and harmful algae blooms.
