K-12 Education Funding Summary and Needs State e Actions: From FY 2001 through FY 2019 state general fund appropriations for K-12 education have grown at a compound annual rate of 2.6 percent versus 3.0 percent growth in total general funds. State cuts in K-12 from FY 2010 have yet to be restored. Since FY 2009, the K-12 appropriation has dropped from 35.2 percent of total GF appropriations to 29.9 percent in FY 2019. In addition, inflation-adjusted (2005 $) average per pupil state funding has dropped nine percent from $4,692 in FY 2009 to $4,266 in FY 2019. From FY 2009 to FY 2017, average instructional pay in Virginia has grown less than the rate of inflation – from $53,581 to $57,766. If instructional pay had grown at the rate of the consumer price index (CPI), average pay would have been $62,000 in FY 2017. 23 Jim Regimbal- Fiscal Analytics- VASS/VSBO Conference January 7, 2019 23 23 23 23
K-12 Education Funding Summary and Needs Loc ocal R Reaction ons: • Most locality revenue sources have not kept pace with inflation and population growth, despite median real property tax rates increasing 17 cents for cities and 12 cents for counties since FY 2009. • As a result of the slower growth in state K-12 funding, local funding for K-12 operations has increased from 52.0 percent (FY 2009) to 55.3 percent (FY 2017) of total state-local expenditures (DOE Superintendents Annual Report). • Localities also borrowed $2.6 billion for school construction, additions, and renovations from 2013-2017. Direct state grants for capital improvements have not been available since FY 2010. Literary fund loans to school divisions have also been minimal since the recession. 24 Jim Regimbal- Fiscal Analytics- VASS/VSBO Conference January 7, 2019 24 24 24 24
State Standards of Quality Do Not Reflect True Costs for Local K-12 Divisions • Only 136,000 out of 200,000 K-12 positions (68 percent) employed by local school divisions are recognized by the SOQ; many support positions and other support costs were de-funded after 2009. • Raising teacher salaries from 29 th ( JLARC 2017 ) to the national average and funding prevailing support costs requires an additional $750 million GF/year.
