I
want
to
thank
Dr,
mealy
and
Mr
Nelms
for
your
continued
service
to
the
school
board,
the
administration
as
boards
Representatives,
the
budget
finance
committee.
That
committee
met
just
last
Friday
and
reviewed
all
of
the
information
that
we're
presented
here
tonight
and,
of
course,
pass
through
the
committee
for
your
continued
input
in
the
developmental
budget.
This
is
a
balanced
budget
we're,
but
the
information
we're
presenting
really
is
not
very
different
than
what
we've
been
discussing
since
March.
G
There's
some
small
differences
which
we'll
review
with
you
here
tonight,
beginning
with
the
revenue
picture,
it's
mostly
unchanged,
that's
primarily
because
in
Richmond
there
has
not
yet
been
any
agreement
between
the
governor
and
the
house
and
the
Senate
on
the
various
budget.
Amendment
proposals
from
each
of
those
three
branches,
so
we
have
balanced
this
budget
as
we
shared
with
you
in
March
on
What's
called
the
skinny
budget,
which
is
the
funding
that
was
developed
on
year.
Two
of
the
biennium
which
the
legislature
passed
in
2022.
Mr
Hagler,
received
those
worksheets.
G
We
realized
that
there
is
a
very
slight
increase
in
state
funding
of
about
a
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
dollars.
Funding,
of
course,
is
based
upon
our
projected
ADM,
which
is
almost
what
we
project
we're
going
to
have
about
the
same
number
of
students
next
year
as
we
have
this
year,
which
is
a
reverse
of
the
trend
you
can
see.
Overall,
we
are
projecting
that
we're
only
going
to
have
about
20
fewer
students
we're
at
over
21
schools.
It'd
really
be,
you
know
no
impact
at
all
School
enrollments.
G
If
and
when
the
legislature
were
to
come
to
the
legislature
of
the
governor
or
to
come
in
and
agreement
on
budget
amendments.
We
of
course
will
then
hold
you
back
together.
First,
the
budget
finance
committee
and
we'll
see
if
there's
projected
increase
in
Revenue
recalculate
the
budget
to
balance
them
out
amended
adopted
budget.
G
Now,
while
the
revenue
pictures
unchanged,
we
do
have
growing
Consignments
about
our
expenditures,
particularly
with
maintenance
and
fuel.
Again
Mr
Hagler
is
going
to
give
you
some
more
detail,
but
it's
reaching
into
the
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
of
concern.
We
have,
as
we
plan
going
into
next
year,
so
we're
going
to
use
that
additional
funding
that
we
have
found
in
the
skinny
budget
and
we've
made
some
addition.
We're
proposing
some
additional
central
office
cuts
that
all
included
will
help
us
to
balance
the
budget
and
meet
our
concerns.
G
That's
60
cents
in
the
dollar
is
the
state
about
about
a
nickel
on
the
federal
government
from
our
title
grants
and
that
leaves
about
35
cents
on
the
dollar,
from
the
county
and
as
you're
well
aware,
we're
not
asking
for
an
increase
in
funding
from
the
county.
We're
asking
for
level
funding,
with
the
exception
of
our
long-standing
agreement,
with
them
of
an
increase
of
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
not
to
the
operating
budget,
but
to
the
maintenance
Reserve,
so
that
we're
building
up
and
saving
towards
the
anticipated
end
of
reversion
in
fiscal
year.
G
Our
continuing
strategy
is
to
to
save
away
at
least
1.1
million
dollars
each
year
out
of
the
operating
budget,
so
it
will
build
up
and
accumulate
so
that
we'll
reach
that
seven
plus
million
dollar
anticipated
shortfall
in
state
funding
when
we
reach
fiscal
year
2029,
because
that's
the
year,
the
reversion
agreement
ends
and
our
local
Composite
Index,
our
LCI
will
reset
to
its
actual
LCI,
which
is
considerably
higher
than
where
we're
funded
today.
So
there
is
a
plan
in
place
in
this
budget
that
counts
for
that
plan.
G
Aside
from
preparing
for
reversion
are
other
top
priority
again
through
your
input
is
to
take
care
of
our
own
people.
So
so
this
balanced
budget
has
a
on
average
five
percent
increase
in
salary
for
all
employees.
That
increase
includes
a
step,
an
experience,
step
for
eligible
employees
and
a
cola
or
a
cost
of
living
adjustment
for
all
employees,
yeah
also,
as
previously
shared
this
balanced
budget
accounts
for
other
priorities
from
the
board.
G
That
go
right
into
the
classroom,
so
in
this
balanced
budget
we
are
accounting
for
picking
up
the
cost
on
all
advanced
placement
exams
for
our
students
who
participate
in
advanced
placement
exams,
as
well
as
all
tuition
costs
for
dual
enrollment
courses
that
are
offered
within
our
schools.
That's
new
we've
not
been
paying
for
all
dual
enrollment
and
all
dual
enrollment
expenses
in
our
schools.
So
we'll
pick
that
up
in
this
next
budget.
G
Aside
from
that,
we've
also
identified
funding
that
matches
and
aligns
with
Goal
four
of
our
strategic
plan,
which
is
to
expand
upon
career
and
Workforce
Development.
So
in
this
budget
we
will
be
re-implementing
or
reinstating
the
electrician
program
at
Gibson
once
we
can
find
a
certified
electrician
who
is
available
to
teach
the
class
funding's
in
place,
and
we
are
adding
cyber
security
courses
in
all
of
our
high
schools
to
offer
that
additional
opportunity
for
our
students
as
an
elective,
so
I'm
really
pleased
with
this
budget.
G
If
and
when,
there's
additional
funding
from
the
state
I
will
go
back
to
the
priorities.
This
board
has
identified
that
we've
not
been
able
to
fund
and
we'll
also
look
to
see
if
there
are
any
stipulations
with
that
increase
in
funding,
because
you
know
some
of
the
some
of
those
different
budget
proposals
would
have
as
much
as
a
seven
percent
increase
for
employees,
but
that
would
require
some
local
match
and
we'd
have
to
recalculate
our
entire
budget.
G
So
we're
not
there
yet
I,
don't
know
that
there'll
be
any
budget
amendments,
but
I'm
pleased
that
we
have
a
balanced
budget
to
present
to
you
for
your
consideration
and
action.
The
nicer
we
get
our
contracts
out
so
at
this
time,
I'm
going
to
ask
Mr
Hagler
to
go
into
some
more
of
the
detail
about
what
the
changes
are
from
the
previously
exposed
budget
to
tonight.
Again,
all
he'll
go
over
this
information
in
your.
D
Yes,
first
I'd
like
to
start
with
the
action
by
the
board
at
the
previous
board
meeting
in
regards
to
the
Staffing
standards
and
just
put
that
up
for
the
public
to
see
and
on
this
slide,
that
the
requirements
that
we
do
implement
the
policy
that
we
can
revoke
transfers
and
so
the
the
wording
is
up
there
and
how
the
policy
will
read
or
not
the
policy
of
the
Staffing
standards.
You
give
you
a
minute
to
kind
of
check
on
that.
E
G
We
will
plan
for
the
start
of
the
school
year
where
we
will
not
exceed
27
and
when
we
have
concern
that
when
we
look
over
Dr
Community,
you
know
we
know
our
school
communities
where
families
move
in
and
out
and
there's
a
possibility
of
an
increase.
So
we
won't
start
the
year
at
27
and
some
of
those
situations
will
revoke
several
transfers.
So
we
have
a
little
wiggle
room
as
there's
potential
changes
throughout
the
school
year,
but
there
may
come
a
day.
We're
gonna
have
a
28th
kid.
G
H
We're
kind
of
looking
at
24.25
we
Mr
Blankenship
is
working
on
looking
at
Trends
over
the
last
couple
of
years.
Our
projected
numbers,
and
then
he
and
I
are
going
to
try
to
decide
on
a
number
that
we
kind
of
keep
it
at.
So
we
can,
you
know
account
for
kids
coming
in
and
out.
So
that's
our
goal
not
to
try
to
take
it
to
27
and
then
go.
G
D
Well,
that
came
out
smaller
on
there
and
I
wanted
it
to,
but
hopefully
the
viewing
public
can
see
that
on
their
screens.
But
if,
but
on
your
in
front
of
you
is
a
change
summary
and
I'll
just
go
over
each
line.
There
there's
not
many
of
them.
As
Dr
Bergen
said
in
his
opening
comments,
there
wasn't
a
there
wasn't
significant
changes
on
the
revenue
side.
D
The
legislature
did
pass
the
they
called
it
a
skinny
budget
and
we
got
new
worksheets
after
that
meeting.
So
I
reprogrammed
and
looked
in
that-
and
we
came
out
hundred
and
seventy
three
thousand
dollars
to
the
good.
So
that's
additional
Revenue
that
factored
into
the
operating
budget,
and
so
that's
the
only
change
on
the
revenue
side.
D
The
other
changes.
So
then
we
had
to
deal
with
and
from
our
third
quarter
forecast
and
some
some
budget
changes
we
had
to
do
in
the
current
year.
I
kind
of
let
the
board
know
that
there
were
some
concerns
with
electrical
and
fuel,
both
in
the
maintenance
department
and
the
transportation
and
increased
costs
there.
We
did
go
back
and
look
at
electrical
and
there
was
an
increase
back
in
I
believe
November
of
last
year
on
our
rates,
and
so
we
really
need
to
deal
with
that.
D
That's
not
something
we
can
just
say
is
going
to
go
away.
That's
going
to
continue
into
next
year,
so
we
needed
to
make
some
budget
adjustments
to
take
care
of
that
next
year,
so
the
maintenance
department
really
for
heating
fuel
and
electrical
about
449
000
increase
to
the
maintenance
operating
fund.
Transportation
160
000
that
173
000
additional
in
Revenue
helped
us
offset
some
of
that.
D
The
executive
staff
went
back
and
really
looked
line
by
line
to
the
whole
operating
budget,
every
every
non-salaried
line
and
started
there
so
down
at
the
bottom
I'm
going
to
jump
to
that.
There
were
line
item
reductions
to
the
tune
of
three
hundred
thousand
dollars.
It's
pretty
significant
when
you're
going
through
some
of
the
biggest
of
those
were.
We
had
two
testing
lines
and
over
the
years
the
expenditures
and
those
testing
lines
have
gone
down
could
have
probably
captured
some
more
there.
D
We
also
went
down
on
some
remediation
cost
before
anybody
gets
kind
of
excited
about
that.
We
have
state
money
for
Sol,
which
is
mathematics.
Most
of
our
high
schools
and
middle
schools
have
a
hard
time
getting
through
all
that
money.
So
we
use
that
first,
but
when
we
looked
at
the
remediation
lines
over
the
last
three
years
and
Trends
the
schools
weren't
using
all
that,
that's
where
people
come
in
in
the
afternoon
or
during
the
day
to
help
with
remediation.
D
So
we
cut
back
on
that
a
little
bit
based
upon
what
we're
seeing
on
Trend
and
what
we're
actually
using
and
a
little
bit
on
the
substitute
lines
too
we're
not
really
meeting
the
total
amount
that
was
set
aside
for
that.
So
by
cutting
out
some
some
money
there
that
attuned
to
about
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
there
were
some
other
line
items
that
were
like
five
thousand
two
thousand
three
thousand.
We
were
looking
at
everything.
I
mean
we're
going
down
to
the
lower
numbers
and
saying:
where
can
we
get
two?
D
Where
can
we
get
three?
And
so
we
cut
back
where
we
could
and
one
of
this,
the
other
larger
one
was
Conference
travel.
We
went
down
about
20
000
on
that,
so
that
that
those
are
the
big
ones
that
added
up
to
the
300
000.
On
that
any
questions
on
what
we
were
doing
on
those
line
item
reductions
and
we
did
that
from
all
departments.
D
The
other
one
is
central
office
position
changes.
There
was
in
the
original
budget
that
we
presented
back
in
March
some
central
office
changes
that
amounted
to
about
250
000,
some
reductions,
some
elimination
of
Physicians.
We
went
back
and-
and
we
identified
some
more
reductions
that
that
added
up
to
about
131
000
there.
D
So
there's
with
that,
there
is
a
reduction
of
one
more
staff
member
there
and
then
also
repurposing,
where
certain
positions
will
not
be
in
the
in
next
year
at
the
same
level
as
they
were
this
year.
So
there
was
two
positions
that
we
did,
that
with
one
was
Title
One
in
restructuring
that
so
more
title
title
two
money
excuse
me
is
going
to
pay
for
a
position,
and
then
we
had
another
position
where
there's
some
turnover
and
we
repurposed
that
as
a
to
come
in
at
a
lower
level.
D
So
all
that
added
up
to
about
131,
000.
so
overall
for
the
central
office
about
378
to
400
000
in
reductions
next
year
in
expenditures
that
allowed
us
to
you
know
bring
our
expenditures
to
173
569,
which
is
the
amount
of
the
increase
on
revenue
and
from
whatever
everything
everything
that
we
worked
on
on
March
14th.
Those
are
the
changes
and
that
that
is
a
balanced
budget
that
we're
presenting
tonight
that
we're
presented
to
the
board
for
consideration.
D
H
D
Accepts
those
this
is
just
a
summary
sheet
of
Revenue
that
you
could
vote
on
tonight.
If
there's
anything
you
make
changes
on
produce
a
new
document,
but
if
these
changes
are
acceptable,
this
would
be
the
document
we
vote
on
and
then
there
was
one
question
from
several
questions
from
board.
Members
and
I
do
have
a
slide
to
present
on
that,
and
that
was
really
about.
E
D
I
can
go
on
to
the
other
document,
and
then
you
can
go
into
an
official
vote
on
this.
Just
so
for
clarity
and
really
it's
I
want
to
prepare
the
board
for
future
budgets
and
what
we're
looking
at
there
was
a
document,
the
following
document:
I'm
putting
kind
of
exceptions
up
here
for
the
viewing
public.
The
following
document
does
not
consider
Grant
funded
positions,
special
education,
preschool
adult
education,
Transportation
or
nutrition.
Those
are
different
funding
mechanisms
and
some
of
them
are
just
dollar
amounts,
not
actually
positioned.
D
So
I
tried
to
cut
this
up
in
two
different
parts
for
the
viewing
public.
The
first
is-
and
this
is
getting
Clarity
from
the
state
on
regards
to
how
they
fund
us
there's
a
worksheet
that
they
send
to
us
the
master
worksheet
that
has
multiple
tabs,
probably
about
20
tabs
on
it.
The
first
tab,
usually
just
tells
you
how
much
money
you're
getting
in
in
about
20
to
25
different
line
items,
but
there's
a
tab
on
there.
That
says,
how
do
they
calculate
what
they're
funding
in
positions
we've?
D
Always
we've
heard
all
along
that
you
know,
standards
of
quality
soq
are
small.
You
got
to
meet
the
soq
limits
and
that's
teachers
and
other
things
in
this
school.
But
there's
also
this
other
category
called
support
positions
and
that's
kind
of
like
what
is
that
who
are
those
people
and
how
much
does
the
state
recognize?
So
that's
the
first
section
I'm
going
to
review
here
and
I
kind
of
accumulated
them
into
different
buckets,
because
it's
hard
to
say
is
you
know,
is
it?
D
Is
it
a
clerical
or
is
it
a
higher
level,
so
I
just
kind
of
put
them
all
together
and
win
over?
What
does
the
state
recognize
for
us?
Oh
I
mean
how
many
positions
should
you
have
and
then
how
many
do
we
project
in
2024,
with
the
budget
I
presented,
we
presented
tonight
and
then
it
kind
of
says:
how
much
are
we
over
or
under
what
the
state
is
funniness
on
I
will
say
the
soq.
You
have
to
meet
that's
the
law,
the
support
positions
or
what
they're
calculating,
but
that's,
not
necessarily
law.
D
That's
how
they're
stating
that's
how
they're
calculating
how
much
they
give
us,
but
it's
up
to
boards
on
how
they
kind
of
distribute
that
money.
You
can
Veer
and
differentiate
from
that
and,
as
you
can
see
on
the
document
under
support,
we
we
do
have
more
positions
in
just
about
every
bucket
except
two,
and
that
is
you
know
the
central
office
instructional
support
and
you
can
see
that
the
state
recognizes
and
how
they
fund
us
a
total
of
33.35
positions.
D
They
recognize
we
have
21.,
so
we
actually
have
a
mass
less
than
what
the
state
is
actually
calculating
and
then
also
administrative
and
administrative,
Technical
and
clerical-
that's
mainly
HR
finance
and
some
of
the
other
administrating
I.T
supervisor
of
Maintenance
supervisor
of
Transportation.
So
that's
recognizing
other
administrative
positions,
but
the
bulk
of
that
is
HR
and
finance,
and
you
can
see
the
state
recognizes
20
and
we
have
15.
D
D
There's
a
lot
of
debate
in
Richmond
on
that
it
could
come
back
in
this
budget,
but
that's
a
lot
of
lobbying
going
on
and
saying
look
you're
recognizing,
half
the
custodians.
We
really
have
you're
recognizing
you
know.
Half
of
you
know
what
we
need
to
actually
operate
and
you
should
be
funding
schools
on
what's
actually
happening
out
there.
So
we're
hoping
for
some
traction
on
this
and
that
state
will
recognize
it.
You
know
one
custodian
per
school
just
doesn't
cut
it.
I
guess
is.
D
School-Based
clerical
is
the
clerical
staff
in
the
front
office
operations
and
maintenance
is
our
custodians
and
our
maintenance
crew
at
the
central
office
and
then
Support
Services.
It
includes
quite
a
few
in
in
that
bucket
and
that
line
item.
So
yes
and
then
there's
a
separate
one
for
technology,
so
we're
hoping
for
some
traction
here.
We're
already
doing
this
and
I'd
say
almost
every
District
in
Virginia
is
doing
this.
It's
just
getting
the
state
to
recognize
you're
spread
too
thin.
It's
really
really
not
fun.
It's
really
not!
D
You
can't
really
do
it
and
so
we're
hoping
so
some
of
this
money
from
the
state
might
come
in
this
area.
We're
already
doing
it,
so
that
would
be
money
that
the
board
would
have
discretion
on
how
we
use
it.
So
just
wanted
to
kind
of
clarify
that
any
other
questions
about
that.
The
support
side
there
I
just
want.
G
To
want
to
add
a
chance
to
review
it,
I
ask
you
to
go
back
to
your
packet
of
Wednesday
memos
last
Wednesday.
It
was
quite
a
packet,
sorry
about
that
they
were
half
dozen
or
so,
and
some
of
them
were
meeting.
This
was
one
I
appreciated
the
question
because
it
allowed
us
a
chance
to
really
do
this
analysis
so
when
we're
funded
by
the
state
of
Virginia,
like
every
other
School
Division,
there's
a
mathematical
calculation
behind
that
worksheet
that
the
Virginia
Department
of
Education
is
calculating
the
school
division
of
this
size.
G
We
have
109
more
positions
in
our
schools
than
we
receive
funding
for
from
the
state,
so
clearly
we're
this
board,
and
this
Administration
are
prioritizing
our
resources
to
the
school
level.
Virtually
every
teacher
assistant
we
hired
and
we
employ,
we
receive
almost
no
money
from
the
state
towards
teacher
assistance.
The
state
recognizes
kindergarten
assistance
only
some
of
them
yes,
but
and
special
ideas
as
we
preface
it's
not
included
in
this.
That's
a
different
funding
stream,
but
we
provide
general
education
teacher
assistance
in
many
of
our
schools,
of
which
we're
thankful.
G
We
have
a
strong
partnership
with
the
county
because
that
local
funding
is
how
we're
paying
for
all
of
those
positions.
There's
no
State
money
in
there
Let
Me
Tie.
This
back
to
you
know,
budget
amendments
at
the
state
level,
there's
I
think
I
think
it's
around
three
billion
dollars
that
they're
talking
about
in
Richmond.
Now
the
governor's
been
very
clear
and
you
all
can
read
about
it
yourself
on
your
own
news
sources,
he's
drawn
a
line
where
he
wants.
G
You
know
much
of
that
back
to
the
taxpayers
and
the
house
and
the
Senate
are
split
on
how
much
more
money
to
put
into
public
education
but
they're
all
in
agreement.
They
want
more
in
public
education,
it's
just
how
and
where
to
put
it
back
in,
and
so
the
support
cap
has
been
discussed
for
the
first
time.
G
In
my
experience
in
a
decade
or
15
years,
whether
the
state
is
talking
about
funding
these
positions
with
custodians
office,
Associates
bus
drivers,
teacher
assistants,
they
all
fall
under
the
support
cap,
everyone's
sitting
at
this
table,
falls
under
the
support
cap
with
the
exception
of
superintendent.
So
if
we
can
have
realized
more
funding
from
the
state
towards
a
support
cap,
it
lessens
the
need
to
use
our
local
dollars
to
do
so,
and
we
can
go
back
to
those
other
budget
priorities.
We
can
put
more
money
aside
towards
reversion.
We
can
consider
funding
Middle,
School
athletics.
G
We
can
talk
about
rounding
out
the
compensation
study
that
we
that
we
started
to
implement
last
year
by
giving
restorative
steps
to
all
of
our
employees.
We
front
loaded
the
teachers,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
other
employee
groups
that
didn't
receive
those
restoration
stuff.
You
know
those
are
the
priorities
that
you
helped
us
identify.
C
Yep,
that
brings
me
to
something
else.
So
I
I
know
that
there's
members
of
the
community
that
get
concerned
when
they
hear
oh,
you
know
someone
there's
there's
raises
across
the
board
and
the
Really
cost
of
living
adjustments
and
and
things
like
that,
but
their
concern
has
been
that
if
they
get
this
increase
this
year,
there's
no
guarantee
that
Richmond
funds
us
next
year,
but
I
was
talking
to
Mr
Hagler
and
he
was
explained
that
that's
not
the
case.
Can
you
go
into
that?
Just
so,
people
at
home
can
understand
absolutely.
D
Anybody
that
would
look
at
and
when
we
have
a
finalized
budget,
I'll
put
it
on
our
website
and
make
a
look
at
that
worksheet
that
front
worksheet
where
I'm
working
off
the
revenues.
There
is
a
separate
line
item
when
I
worked
each
that
says
compensation,
FY,
23
fy24,
what
happens
in
after
when
they
get
ready
to
do
the
next
biennium.
They
look
at
salaries
across
the
state
in
each
district
and
they
it's
called
re-benchmarking,
so
that
money
and
what
it's
really
costing
in
average
salaries
gets
recalculated
on
what
is
actually
happening.
D
That
line
goes
away,
but
it
kind
of
flows
into
the
other
funding
streams
automatically
for
the
future.
It's
called
rebenchmarking
and
the
state
has
to
recognize
those
rebenchmarking.
That's
usually
every
biennial,
one
of
the
biggest
they're
doing
a
big
adjustment
to
say
this
is
what
it's
actually
costing.
We've
got
to
do,
re-benchmarking
how
much
money
do
we
need
to
set
aside
for
the
schools?
So,
yes,
that
money
would
be
there
from
the
state.
D
If
we
were
to
do
it
this
year,
then
it
you
know
long
recessions
can
change
things
depending
on
how
deep
they
are.
It's
like
everything's
on
the
table
at
that
point,
when
you're
looking
at
deep,
deep
recessions,
we
hope
that
doesn't
happen,
but
the
local
money
set
aside
is
there
for
that.
That
increase
this
year,
the
state
it
will
be
there
in
the
future,
and
so
that
can
continue
into
the
future.
Yes,
sir,
thank
you.
G
Yeah,
the
five
percent
that
I
reference
for
our
employees-
that's
in
the
that's
in
the
last
biennium,
so
the
the
state
funded
enough
money
for
soq
funding
positions,
a
10
increase
over
two
year
period
of
time.
We
met
that
last
year
we
had
High
School,
beat
batteries
a
little
bit,
yeah
yeah,
and
so
we're
rounding
out
we're
spending
the
money
that
we
were
allocated
by
the
state
to
make
sure
that
our
soq
funded
positions,
which
is
about
I'm,
going
to
Ballpark
60
of
all
of
our
positions
across
the
board.
G
But
this
board
wants
all
of
our
employees
and,
as
I
just
mentioned,
that
long
list
of
people
that
are
not
in
the
soqs
custodians
bus
drivers,
teacher
assistance
officers,
all
of
them
we're
picking
up
that
five
percent
increase
out
of
out
of
the
operating
budget
without
those
targeted
dollars
from
the
state.
In.
D
In
when
the
state
does
their
calculation
on
compensation,
it's
just
not
for
the
salary
they,
they
recognize
that
it's
going
to
be
increasing,
vrs
contributions,
group
of
life
and
other
things
that
are
a
factor
of
somebody's
salary.
So
when
they're
funding
that
so
when
I
do
a
calculation
on
what
a
five
percent
I
do
the
all
in
on
that
and
then
I
can
look
at
what
the
state's
given
us
and
what
we
had
to
come
up
with
locally
to
do
that.
G
The
other
thing
on
re-benchmarking
just
sort
of
bigger
picture-
I,
don't
know
if
we've
talked
about
this
because
I
talked
about
this
with
this
board,
but
teacher
salaries
in
Virginia
across
the
Commonwealth
Virginia.
If
you
remove
Northern
Virginia
salaries,
which
are
quite
expensive,
because
it's
quite
an
expensive
area
to
live
in.
So
if
you
take
out
the
20
School
divisions
in
Northern
Virginia,
and
you
look
at
the
other
110
School
divisions
in
Virginia,
we
rank
in
the
bottom
end
of
the
country
for
teacher
salary.
G
The
bottom
down
we're
competing
with
the
other
40
States
for
The
Limited
teachers
graduating
to
go
into
teaching
teaching.
We've
reached
that
point
where
we
have
more
people
retiring
out
of
teaching
every
year
than
we
have
students
enrolling
in
education
programs.
It's
just
going
to
get
harder
and
harder
which
is
good
for
teachers,
because
supply
and
demand
the
supply
is
decreasing.
G
The
demand
is,
is
always
been
there,
and
so
there
is
real
conversation
in
Richmond
and
the
delegates
and
the
centers
that
I
talk
to
on
both
sides
of
the
aisle
that
we
need
to
increase
compensation
for
teachers
and
that's
part
of
the
discussion
as
well.
That'll
come
out
in
the
development
of
the
next
biennium.
D
That's
why
we're
hopeful,
because
the
governor's
proposed
budget
back
in
December
was
a
five
percent
which
was
in
the
bienna
that
we
did
five
percent
five
percent
this
year
and
both
the
House
and
Senate
came
out
with
two
seven
percent,
but
they
just
haven't
come
to
the
compromise.
So
we
were.
We
were
pretty
excited
about
that
to
get
that
extra
two
percent
and
for
our
employees
and
stuff.
So
we'll
see
what
happens
with
that.
D
If
there's
any
movement
in
June
we'll
come
back
to
the
board
and
reissue
contracts,
hopefully,
but
if
they
can't
come
to
an
agreement,
then
we'll
just
this
would
be
our
budget
I'd
like
to
move
on
to
the
next
slide,
which
is
the
soq
positions,
I've
kind
of
Consolidated
it
for
the
screen
for
the
viewing
public.
It
was
a
little
bit
more
detailed
on
the
sheet.
I
gave
you
just
kind
of
aggregated
everything
together
and
instead
of
going
grade
by
grade
level
interesting
by
the
state.
D
Just
to
let
you
all
know,
State
recognizes
second
Elementary
and
secondary
Elementary's
grades,
kindergarten
through
seventh
secondaries,
eighth
through
12th,
we
have
a
middle
school
which
we
have
to
kind
of
carve
up
into
those
two
areas,
so
I
have
to
take
our
budget
and
kind
of
allocate
two-thirds
one
way,
one
third,
one
way
when
reporting
to
the
state.
So
when
you
look
at
this
all
of
our
soq,
we
meet
or
exceed
the
state
mandate,
standards
of
quality
and
the
numbers
are
there
on
how
how
much
we
exceed
in
each
of
those
categories.
D
I
hope
that
it's
there
and
we
don't
have
to
go
there,
but
this
is
where
the
in
people
was
85
of
our
money.
The
rest
is
an
electrical
fuel
buying
buses.
Those
are
the
big
hitters,
but
then
we've
got
some
money
and
materials,
and
things
like
that
professional
development
that
can
only
go
so
far,
it's
really
in
sours.
So
this
is
a
good
tool
for
the
board
to
have
in
the
future
and
be
thinking
and
as
we
get
into
the
next
budget
year,
which
will
happen
before
you
know
it.
D
I'll
start
working
on
documents
for
November
or
December
that
I'll
continue
to
update
this
document
and
other
documents.
So
we
keep
our
eye
on
the
target
I'm
eating
that,
though
we
don't
have
a
cliff
fall
for
reversion
in
29
and
we're
meeting
that
there's
other
challenges
that
we
have
to
continue
this
out.
The
far
future
on
CIP
and
stuff,
but
I
think
this
is
a
good
budget
that
we've
bounced
and
we've
made
better
progress
towards
the
reversion
cliff
in
29..
C
Yeah
so,
and
looking
at
this,
you
know
and
talking
to
everyone
in
the
community
and
I
think
that
everyone's
really
happy
that
we
exceed
the
soqs
and
we
try
to
keep
very
small
small
classroom,
sizes
and
I
think
that
some
people
would
look
at
that
number
six
and
a
half
million
over
and
they
go.
That's
a
that's
a
big
cost.
C
Well,
it
is
it
a
cost
or
is
it
an
investment
in
our
kids
and
I
would
argue
and
I
think
that
you
would
really
not
get
a
ton
of
argument
and
say
that
that
is
an
investment
in
our
kids.
That
being
said,
I
think
it's
important
to
make
sure
that
everyone
understands
that
everybody
in
our
school
system
understands
that
and
the
expectation
is
there
is
a
return
on
that
investment.
C
So
that
means
that
we've
all
got
to
double
down
and
dig
deep
and
say:
what
do
we
have
to
do
to
make
sure
we're
giving
our
absolute
best
to
these
kids
and
give
them
the
absolute
best
chance
to
be
successful?
That's
a
lot
of
money,
but
the
what
you
can
get
on
the
back
end
of
it
is
huge.
If
we
execute
on
what
we're
supposed
to
do
on
a
daily
basis,
that's
it.
D
B
D
What
we
have
there
in
our
budget
and
I
would
agree,
but
with
everything
else
we
accomplished,
I
would
have
to
cut
somewhere
else
to
get
that
there
right.
If
we
get
more
State
money,
I
don't
want
to
be
selfish,
but
I
oversee
those
departments,
but
other
people.
Other
people
see
other
things
that
they
might
want
before
me,
but
I
would
hope.
D
D
What's
our
next
priorities,
things
you
might
want
to
consider
a
position
there,
maybe
Sports,
maybe
restoration
steps
or
maybe
hey,
let's
Bank
some
money,
so
we
don't
have
to
go
as
deep
for
reversion
Cuts
in
the
future,
because
I
can't
forecast
the
future.
But
if
we
put
more
aside
now,
instead
of
600
000
in
the
next
four
years,
maybe
you
only
have
to
go
300
000.,
so
those
are
all
things.
D
We'd
have
to
kind
of
wrestle
with
wrestle
with
and
decide
on
how
to
use
that
money
if
they
do
give
us
more
money
for
an
additional
two
percent
average,
then
that
would
be
State
money,
but
there's
local
match
to
that.
So
hopefully,
there'll
be
additional
State
money
to
make
up
all
that
or
we
might
not
be
able
to
do
the
two
percent
without
cutting
somewhere
else.
So
that's
just
the
reality
of
if
it.
G
I,
don't
credit
this
board
this
budget.
This
balanced
budget
puts
an
additional
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
out
of
the
operating
budget
into
the
maintenance
Reserve.
This
board
did
200
000
last
year.
That
means
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
is
not
in
the
operating
budget,
but
in
maintenance
reserved
from
this
board's
action.
That's
separate
from
the
500
000
from
the
county.
You
in
previous
years
we
weren't
putting
any
money
aside
from
the
operating
budget,
I'm,
not
faulting,
the
previous
administration
or
the
previous
board
members.
It's
just
there
wasn't
an
articulated
plan
in
place,
leading
to
2029
and.
G
2029
we're
not
going
to
have
to
make
Draconian
cuts
and
have
to
completely
reset
the
School
Division,
because
we're
doing
it
in
in
steps
one
year
at
a
time.
So
just
signal
again,
that's
my
highest
priority
based
upon
your
input,
is
to
plan
for
2029,
while
maintaining
level
of
services
for
our
students
today
and
we're
able
to
do
both
so
I'm
really
very
pleased
with
this
budget.
I
hope
you
are
too.
G
If
we
receive
more
funding
back
to
Matt's
question,
what
do
we
want
to
do
with
that
funding
we'll
go
back
through
your
budget
finance
committee
and
say:
what
do
you
want
to
do
this?
Where
we
have
discretion,
if
the
additional
funding
says
go
to
seven
percent
for
teacher
salaries,
great
I
may
not
leave
any
discussion
do
anything
more,
but
if
we
have
discretion,
we'll
ask
you
to
reprioritize:
is
it
maintenance?
Is
it
Middle,
School
sports?
Is
it
finishing
restoration,
steps
or
employees
that
didn't
receive
it?
Is
it
putting
more
money
aside
towards
reversion?
F
D
F
D
Okay,
I'll
give
you
estimates
that
I
had
based
upon,
but
each
year
it
gets.
Let
me
just
put
a
fact:
as
people
leave
the
other
people
coming
in
or
not.
Oh
those
restoration,
it
gets
cheaper
as
it
goes
on.
I
broke
out
clerical
about
133
000
is
what
I
estimated
maintenance
and
bus
garage
and
other
about
45
otpt,
Sykes
nurses,
speech
kind
of
like
Health
student
support,
related
115,
000.,
okay,
so.
D
Support
services,
OT
occupational
therapist,
physical
therapists,
psychologists,
nurses,
speech
therapists:
they
were
not
restored,
so
I
estimate
about
115
000
to
restore
them:
okay,
technology,
technicians
and
staff,
57
000.
and
administration,
which
is
School
administration
and
central
office
administration.
That
is
anybody
that
is
a
I
believe,
a
coordinator
above
it's
about
162,
000.
and,
as
I
said
as
things
transition.
D
F
E
E
Appreciate
your
comments
on
the
the
forward
and
the
what
we've
done
with
the
budget
and
the
dollars
I
want
to
add.
There's
still
plenty
more
for
us
to
look
at
and
to
go
through,
so
I
don't
want
it
to
feel
like
we're
done.
You
know,
I
appreciate
the
willingness
of
the
the
team
to
answer
the
questions
and
to
go.
Do
those
hard
takes
and
looks
at
what
we've
currently
got.
You
know
I'm
going
to
sound
like
a
broken
record
on
the
whole
data
analysis.
E
I
want
us
to
really
think
about
current
positions
and,
as
those
you
know,
we
reduce
or
trip
through
with
those
positions.
We
really
need
to
make
sure
we've
got
a
vision
of
what
is
it
that
helps
us
be
successful,
going
forward,
and
so
really
thinking
about
those
column,
data,
scientist
or
data
analysis
I.
Think
that
helps
us
get
to
where
we
need
to
be
quicker
just
from
a
data
perspective,
but
I
do
appreciate
the
the
staff
and
the
team
really
going
and
looking
for
dollars
and
identifying
those.
E
But
you
know
I
want
to
make
sure
the
public
understands
we're
still
looking
and
we're
going
to
still
dig
through
that
and
identify
more
of
what
what
we
can
do.
We've
got
maintenance
that
needs
to
be
done
immediately,
and
so,
but
we've
also,
you
know,
got
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
steps
that
need
to
take
place.
So
you've
got
to
be
able
to
balance
that
but
I
again
I
appreciate
the
work.
That's
been
done
and
we've
got
some
more
to
do
so.
D
If
there's
no
more
questions
and
the
board
likes,
the
budget
as
it
is,
I
would
ask
the
board
to
make
a
motion
and
accept
the
budget
and
I
would
read
off
the
numbers
from
the
one
sheet
that
you
have
there
on
top,
which
are
the
revenue
numbers.
Yes,
sir,
and
probably
just
the
number
from
each
fund
total
for
the
fun
for
next
year
and
and
then
the
total
amount,
and
that
would
be
acceptable
to
get
it
on
the
record.
A
A
E
Chair
make
a
motion
that
we
approve
the
budget
as
presented
with
Revenue
source
for
total
total
operating
fund
of
116
million
489
937
dollars

I.
Reading
the
right.
Okay
just
want
to
make
sure,
in
addition,
for
maintenance,
contingency
reserve
for
total
I'm,
sorry,
total
School
maintenance
projects,
six
