Programs Not Required by State and Federal Law Are not discretionary, but reflect programs which support the School Board s Strategic Plan Superintendent supports all of these Strategic Programs; list of programs not required by State and Federal law has been developed at direction of School Board - examples: Full Day Kindergarten Specialty Schools & Specialty Transportation Costs Middle & High School Sports ES Strings Program Building Maintenance Paying for AP/IB/PSAT Tests Deferral of Capital Improvements Projects (CIP) 21
Critical Unmet Needs Approval of a budget and Five-Year Plan each year does not mean everything is OK/funded School Board has directed development of a list of Critical Unmet Needs in the current budget including: 200 Trailers being utilized daily Overcrowded classrooms (Class Size) Maintenance Infrastructure under-funded Technology Infrastructure under-funded No funding to replace student classroom technology Supplies/Materials/Equipment 22
Critical Unmet Needs FY 2007 was the last budget year in which PWCS school funding was somewhat comparable to surrounding jurisdictions. Listed below are projected costs to fund selected class size and school programs at the FY 2007 ratios: High Schools $12.9 million Middle Schools $11.6 million Elementary Schools $6.6 million Economically Disadvantaged $12.2 million ESOL/ELL $1.7 million Gifted $2.4 million Special Education Services $3.3 million Total Instructional Programs: $50.7 million 23
Issues/Thoughts Zero Base Budgeting Implemented Reviews of two central offices found limited program savings, but confirmed need for additional staff Pool canceling the pool will not save the budget $8.5 million project costs $358,791 in debt service in FY 2016 25% of project cost has been expended; over 50% committed; daily progress - structural steel going up You Get What You Pay For» BOCS presents that the overall level of taxes in PWC is approximately 30% less than comparable jurisdictions in Northern Virginia» Does this mean that the instructional performance of School Division can be 30% less? 24
In Summary The School Board develops the budget within the funding amounts provided by the County and State This budget attempts to meet needs for programs and services essential to a quality education We are not meeting the need to reduce class sizes, to provide enough additional permanent building space, provide competitive salaries/benefits, or restore previous cuts Impact on student performance will always be in hindsight As one of the Nation s 100 Best Communities for Young People, we remain committed to Providing A World-Class Education and doing what is best for the almost 87,500 children we expect to educate and serve. PWCS return on investment has been recognized as the highest in Northern Virginia and among the best in the Commonwealth 25
