Loudoun County School Board FY18 Superintendent’s Proposed Budget January 12, 2017 1
LCPS Mission & Goals Empowering all students to make meaningful contributions to the world 2
Proposal Reflects Three Principles Exhibits a Success Mentality • Seeks continuous improvement with investments in support of the strategic goals and actions of our Vision 20/20 plan Adopts a Strategic Approach • Reallocates resources to yield greater benefits e.g. eliminates some types of positions to create other types; reduces professional services to create positions Implements additional cost containment strategies for health insurance, including expanded employee engagement/education and wellness programs Emphasizes Transparency • Staffing standards contribute to transparency of how growth requires new expenditures Organizational charts, as well as lists with expenditure categories and budget book page numbers, contribute to clarity regarding proposed budget 3
• Accommodates growth in student enrollment by adding staff to maintain average class sizes and by focusing on limiting the number of elementary classes that are outliers in terms of large class size • Expands FDK to allow 82% of kindergarten students to participate • Provides teachers with opportunities for support regarding assessing student learning as part of solving authentic, challenging problems • Increases personalization of learning with digital resources and expanded use of measures to assess growth in student learning • Enhances literacy instruction for special needs students through specialized reading instruction for students and professional development for staff 4
• Increases the competitiveness of the teacher salary schedule to support efforts to recruit and retain excellent teachers for every student • Continues review of competitiveness of compensation of non- teaching positions, leading to compensation adjustments for some positions reviewed. The FY18 review would emphasize the lowest paid positions, such as Custodian, Cafeteria Worker, & Teacher Assistant 5
• Reallocates funds to expand mental health services for high school students by creating unified support teams comprised of psychologists, social workers, school counselors, and student assistance specialists • Expands the provision of differentiated resources for schools to better meet the needs of socioeconomically disadvantaged students, English language learners, and special education students by increasing the number of Special Education Deans from 4 to 10 and by slightly lowering the threshold for elementary schools to qualify for differentiated resources • Reallocates funds in order to improve attractiveness of bus driver compensation (more hours of pay, higher pay) and adds 10 non- driver positions in Transportation to support effective operations 6
