FCPS 23-24 Budget Update

The proposed school budget for 2024 was released on January 12, by Superintendent Reid. This budget looks spectacular for our community. It includes a 4% market rate raise and a full step increase for educators. There do not appear to be any cuts.

While this looks very positive, please remember it is the beginning of a very long process. The good news is that the Board of Supervisors and the School Board have held joint meetings concerning the budget.

What can you do in the coming months? Pay attention to announcements from unions concerning budget issues. Support your local school board members and your county supervisor.

Many community members are not happy with current tax rates so stay positive when talking to parents.
