Just some random ideas if the School Board and/or Borad ofSupervisors is seroius about reducing costs.

The first thing to cut is about 75% of the Central administration, then reduce the salaries of the rest by anywhere from 10 to 30%

Then cut all non classroom activities such as, mucic, art, PE, sports, all stipends for sponsoring clubs or after school activities.

Reduce school based administrators by 50 % and reduce the salaries of the rest by say 20%

Increse the distance from school that requires bus service. Not sure what it is, but maybe everything over a mile currently. Increase to 1.5 miles.

I know every vested interest group will be able to provide a very convincing argument about retaining their own activity. The sports parents will say that the school system doesn't fund sports teams but there is always hidden costs. Without extra-curricular sports they might be able to do away with assistant ADs, trainers, etc.

Seriously, if the budget is that tight then cut everything that is not directly invovled in basic classroom teaching. I know that would give plenty of loopholes for specialists, quasi-administrators like taching coaches, etc but all those things need to go if they are seroius.

I'd like to know what the real student-teacher ratio is. Go into any school and I'm sure you will see math specialists who see only a few kids a day and for whom they are not directly responsible, multiple reading teaches, social workers, school psychologists, band/music teachers, art teachers. special needs (or whatever the current term is) teachers whose ratio is way below what a typical classroom teacher is, ESL teachers again how many students are they actually teaching a day. I'm not talking about how many they might report but what they actually do.

I'm sure the cental administration convened a working group to come up with proposed cuts, but doubt if they looked at it from a fundamental viewpoint.

"I'd like to know what the real student-teacher ratio is"

The real "ratio" should be "all employee - student" - until FCPS dropped the complete email lists, one could simply count & discover huge numbers of non teaching, non physical plant employees at every school - each of the western FFX county schools showed 65 ~ 70 at each location. But hey, "we can't cut for the kids" or something...

There is a great deal of fluff in Central Administration, but deciding to arbitrarily cut 75% of it isn't the way to go. Also if you do make draconian cuts to Central Administration, chances are that the people who are left are going to be the most productive ones capable of handling the increased workload. Cutting their salaries in addition to increasing their workloads isn't a smart move.

One problem with this is first music, art and PE are frequently part of classroom activities. PE runs up through 10th grade and there is a push to extend it through 12th. Art and music run through elementary school.

Another problem with this is that in Fairfax many of these school activities are supporting programs that in other places would be taken on by other branches of the government. Schools have specialized athletic fields to support their extracurricular sports programs. Those same facilities are regularly used for other community activities such as sports leagues, and if they weren't available through the schools we would need to provide them through the park service. There is one example: In Arlington County they decided to use their schools as the location for year round pools. In Fairfax the decision was made to have those pools in separate recreational facilities. Same money being spent, but it is spent from different budgets.

A third problem with this is that many of these school based activities have boosters who not only defray costs of the activities, but who also provide improvements that are used by the schools.

> Reduce school based administrators by 50 % and
> reduce the salaries of the rest by say 20%

Same problem as with Central Administration cuts.

If you really want to attack school transportation costs, the place to start is on transportation provided to other than the base schools. We not only talking about busses being used for this. There are also a number of kids being provided transportation to alternate schools by taxi.

Having a REAL TEACHER STUDENT RATIO makes a great deal of sense. Certain parts of the County have artificially low ratios because the teacher numbers are inflated by these extras who don't provide services to "typical students". As for the rest:

First, remember that a number of these specialists are there because Federal law requires that the county provide kids with certain services, and failure to do so may result in the loss of Federal assistance funds. FCPS probably could get by with fewer of these than they have. Part of the reason for the excess is that with more they can do a better job. Another reason is in this area if services were cut you'd see an upswing in educational service lawsuits so that money saved would be getting spent for lawyers etc.

Second, many specialist teachers split their time between two or three different schools, allowing services and programs to be made available while keeping costs down. BTW this includes a number of teachers who teach what would be considered core type classes, including some foreign language, math and science teachers.

This is the second richest county in the country. Investing in educating our children is worth every penny. Raise the real estate taxes to pay for a first class free public education.

In Fairfax the rec pools were built as that rec pools and it was many years before high school teams went in because there were only 4 rec pools until 1988. Back in the early 90's a bond referendum to put a poll in each high school was put up and failed.. I voted for it as I thought it would have been a good idea and kids from HS and feeder schools could learn to swim. I still do.

my 2nd grader has 28 kids in his class. 29 last year, 29 the year before. that is completely insane -- it's just glorified babysitting at this point.

cut whatever you need to cut, but don't increase class size. that would just be complete abdication of our responsibility to these kids.

best place to start is with administrative salaries and building expenses. i bet you 95% of the county would support slashing salaries and office expenses for those clowns.

You don't understand that the reason they wave the bloody shirt of class size and cuts to foreign language instruction is it mobilizes the most parents. If they were to say 'we have to cut 6% and we'll do it in admin and transportation', no one would care and they would have to make the cuts. What they are doing is a way of pretending that they will make cuts while putting the most pressure on parents and the BOS to not actually do it. The School Board and entrenched administration (the nameless, faceless 'staff') are playing us.

You have some interesting ideas and I wouldn't necessarily discount them all out of hand but your actual knowledge of the FCPS seems to be limited at best. Current policy is 1.0 miles for elementary school, 1.5 miles for middle and high school.

If there is anything I have observed it is that busy and "over-worked," "over-clubbed," over-activitied" kids tend to be the ones that mostly stay out of trouble. If sports, pe, band, orchestra, chorus, guitar, theatre, and all after school clubs are eliminated and not replaced by anything else - well, you're going to have an awful lot of kids with time on their hands...

The other thing is that most parents with kids EXPECT these activities to be school-related and available through the schools. It's not just a Fairfax County thing - I have some experience with schools in NC, CA, PA - their schools have similar set-up. If these programs are eliminated here - it would make Fairfax County an unattractive place for parents with children. And that would obviously have long term ramifications.

Doesn't mean the costs and shared burden of these programs among actual users shouldn't be looked at. But just to flat out eliminate? That's a non-starter.

This kind of reminds me of when some politicians would cry NO! whenever cuts to the military budget were suggested, evidently with no knowledge of how much non-defense-related $ the military pisses away. Have a first class education system?; YES! Raise taxes to continue supporting it in it's present form, NO!

Yup - it's called entitlement. How we ended up with schools being sports and activities hubs - funded by everyone in the county - is amazing. You can go all the way back to the Massachusetts School Laws in the 1600's that required public education. I'm not sure when band, football, and yearbook got thrown in there as a right, but boy are they ever in Fairfax.

Cut it all! Increase class sizes because it does not matter. FCPS student will continue to do poorly on the SOLs no matter what. Cut all after school activities as well, music, sports, theater, clubs, etc. Get rid of all ESL classes and immersion programs. This is a public school system! If parents want smaller class sizes or foreign language immersion or sports for their kids, then they should be forced to pay for it. Or better yet, send their kids to private schools or away to boarding schools. FCPS are soon going to overrun with non-english speaking illegals anyway thanks to Obama and the liberal BOS, so may as well start disbanding the school programs now, because the budget shortfalls are only going to get worse!

Dear Colleagues:

As you have read through our Bottom Line budget newsletter and media reports, FCPS is facing a serious budget shortfall for FY 2015. The School Board began a discussion of next year’s budget with a menu list of potential considerations at its work session this past Monday. Please note that this list is just a starting point for discussion and does not represent my plan for next year. We are a long way off from the final budget adoption and, while we will likely need to consider reductions, it is too premature to know what the final budget will actually reflect. What we are considering now could be very different when the School Board adopts the final budget in May.

We face a $140 million deficit because revenues have not kept pace with enrollment growth and increasing expenditures. We have grown by more than 15,000 students in the last five years and our required expenditures for items like employee benefits have continued to increase. At the same time, revenues from the state and the county have not increased enough to cover our expenditures. Unfortunately, with reductions made in prior years to balance the budget, any reduction we make this next year will be painful.

This next year (FY 2015), we will experience some significant drivers outside of our control:

- $25 Million for annual growth in enrollment
- $27 Million for health insurance cost increases for the Division
- $37 Million for increased contributions to the Virginia Retirement System as required by the State
- $21 Million projected state revenue loss

Over the coming months, we will continue discussions with and will continue to seek input from employee groups and other stakeholders. It is with this input that we will shape our decisions. I have included the link to the budget webpage below and please note the link to the budget calendar on the right side of the page.


Please know that I am very mindful that these budget discussions create concern and anxiety for our employees and our overall community. I am confident that we will find solutions to these challenges by working together and by seeking the support of county leadership and the support of our community.

Thank you for your dedication and service to our students and our organization.

Karen K. Garza

In Nevada this week, a teacher shot to death by a student. In Massachusetts this week, a teacher stabbed to death by a student, stuffed in a recycling bin, and dumped in the woods behind the school. School-based teachers deal with every social ill every day; meanwhile, our highly paid school administrators sit in their Gatehouse and Fairfax Ridge offices and conference rooms writing memos to each other and discussing new policies and procedures to support our teachers in the classroom. THANKS FOR NOTHING!! I hope you stay focused on the things important to you, building your retirement during your last three years at FCPS and using taxpayer funds to buy your way into a six-figure job with a textbook company. Thanks for all you do to support our teachers and kids.

What are we 140 mil in the hole?

The transportation budget is about that.

End transportation. God knows, everybody in Fairfax county has a fucking car. Use them to take 'em to school.

Problem solved!

Several years ago, Prince William County Schools began requiring proof of citizenship to attend. Their student population dropped significantly. Fairfax County began to see a large influx of non-citizen students at approximately the same time. That is certainly not a coincidence. Northern Virginia is experiencing what southern California has experienced for decades; forced to educate illegal immigrants, forcing school districts to raise taxes, layoff teachers, increase class size, cut programs and still they are headed on the road to bankruptcy. Because of the demands of political correctness, Fairfax County Public Schools is headed down the same road and will be bankrupt sooner rather than later.

Liberals would say you should be happy to pay all those taxes to welcome our friends from south of the border. Where you see budget sapping illegals they see future democrat voters.

If you can't speak English, you can't go to our school. Period. If I can't speak Chinese in Beijing, you are forced to pay for an International School for English speakers. The same should apply here. They don't have this Chinese as a second language bullshit over there. Pay for it yourself.

I've been reading and researching this and I've found out about the controversy surrounding the FCPS budget cuts.

I found the 476 page budget plan for FY 2014. (http://www.fcps.edu/fs/budget/documents/approved/FY14/ApprovedBudgetFY14.pdf)

On page 31 of the budget, there's a pie chart showing the breakdown in their operating costs out of a $2.5 billion budget:

INSTRUCTION: $2.102 BILLION (85.5%)
TRANSPORTATION: $137.1 MILLION (5.6%)
FACILITIES MANAGEMENT/MAINTENANCE: $107 MILLION (4.4%)
GENERAL SUPPORT: $111.8 (4.5%)

The administrator's and superintendent's salaries would under "General Support". (Right?)

So... if there's a $140 million budget shortfall, then that means their revenue is 5.6% less than their expenses.. ($140 million divded by $2.5 billion)

With all that being said, we'd have to completely ELIMINATE the school administration and still be 1.1% short; since General Support makes up only 4.5% of the budget (5.6% minus 4.5% is 1.1%)

You can't eliminate Transportation entirely..

You can't eliminate Facilities Management entirely..

So what does that leave?

They have no choice but the cut something out Instruction... There's no way around that...

Again.. it's only 5.6% cut.. I don't think this is armageddon like the news media and people in the community is making this out to be..

This is for the racist xenophobe who posted all the ESOL teacher salaries and suggesting that we should cut them:

ESOL is extremely important because you need them to do your lawncare, sell cheap food, dryclean your clothes, sew your clothes, and other types of cheap labor at record prices.. They are the backbone of our economy.. (sarcastic humor)

Exactly. Are School Based Technology Specialists, Instructional Coaches, Curriculum Specialists, etc. put into the "Instructional" category? Those people do not have any teaching responsibilities and are not directly accountable to students. I am pretty sure that those people are in the "Instructional" category.

That IS apart of the instruction... If that stuff wasn't there, then it would get passed on to the teacher. The teacher would work longer hours without a pay increase... The pay per hour then becomes lower... Most likely they would leave FCPS and go somewhere else.. Then there's a drain in talent in the FCPS; which IS among the best in the county (lets not forget that)..

They could cut some of that stuff out that really isn't needed... and I'm SURE they will.. but they have a hard time finding 140 MILLION in cuts there..

Much of the cuts in Instruction are coming from eliminating "Hourly non-contracted workers" and rolling back the FCPS contribution to teachers retirement plans.. (page 32 of the budget link I shared above)..

Most people in America have had their employer lower their contribution to their retirement plan during the economic recession. If there was a choice between getting one's salary cut, and getting retirement cut, then most people would choose the retirement because that doesn't do immediate harm; unlike a salary cut because you need that money NOW..

ESOL should be cut. As a tax payer in the county it is not fair or right that students from other countries are able to come to the schools and stay until they are 21. 21 are you kidding me!! The majority don't want to be there and they cause problems. They are falsely identified as special ed students which causes more of a budget increase. If fcps did move to a proof of citizenship or even a proof that you pay taxes that would eliminate these issues. They stay in the system too long, bring down test scores, and are on free and reduced lunch and other programs. Ending ESOL would eliminate a huge part of this cost. I could care less if you increase the class size, that honestly doesn't matter at the HS level. They have 30 now, 32 will not cause any problems.

Not necessarily. We got along just fine without most of it for many years and there is little to no evidence that it's had any significant effect on outcomes. A lot of it comes out to testing mandates and serves no other purpose.

On another subject, why are the special ed numbers so high for FCPS? At over 12,000 students designated as being at least 50% in special ed instruction, that's the largest by far compared to other local systems on a numerical or percentage basis (at around 7% about 2X to 4X higher).

Because students are pushed through the eligibility process due to a lack of progress, parental pressure or poorly managed behavioral issues. There are many students (especially behavioral problems and lower IQ ESOL students) that are falsely identified as special education.

They are curbing the sports costs a LITTLE by suggesting a $100 fee per student per sport.. That's at least a TINY step in the right direction.. It's EXTRA-curricular and it should be paid mostly with EXTRA money from the parent.. If sports were eliminated from FCPS tomorrow, it wouldn't be the end of the world. There's plenty of community-based non-profit groups that organize sports in the community (YMCA, Boys and Girls club, etc..)

I'm with you on that crap.. The SOL guy is really there to act as a laison who deciphers the VA Dept. of Ed regulations, standards, and guidelines to the teachers. But THAT battle must be fought at the Federal and State level... FCPS can't do anything about that at the local level.. The SOL/Common Core crap is a way to micomanage and account for public dollars coming from the Federal and State government. And interestingly, FCPS pays about 70% of it's costs at the local level; that's MUCH HIGHER than what most school systems pay at the local level (around 40-50%).. (Page 27 of the school budget link posted above)

If FCPS is paying more at the local level, then I don't think they should have to be as compliant with state and federal regulations as other school systems that pay less..

But again, that's an issue that has to be brought up with the state and federal congressman and senators.. FCPS can't do much about that...

Can't imagine that's much different in some other local systems especially given that many are 'worse' as far as ESOL and general demographics go.

There must be some more specific policy or practice that's driving that number.

Then parents need to step in an actually act like parents
who are primarily responsible for their children. Schools
do not need to feed and entertain children - they need
to TEACH children. Sports have no place in schools.
I'd eliminate 99% of the after school clubs and activities
unless they are funded by the PARENTS of the participants.

And cut food entitlements 100%. it's the responsibility of
the parents to feed these kids, not the school via
taxpayer funding. It's a school, not a fucking restaurant!

>>Believe me, teachers would not leave if they cut "instructional coaches" and many of the "curriculum specialists". These cuts would cause the teachers to have LESS work, not more. These people (the "coaches" and "specialists") are always giving "staff development" and asking for meetings that no teacher has time for. They do this all under the guise of "it's mandated" or "this is research based great stuff" or whatever. Teachers are so tired of this and the amount of it has really gotten out of control. And FCPS will only continue to be "among the best" (whatever that means) if the greatest teachers are actually focused on their own teaching (and not being distracted by all of these specialists). For the best teachers, teaching is a very personal and reflective experience. The best teachers are in touch with themselves and their students and they don't need all these "specialists".




They could cut some of that stuff out that really isn't needed... and I'm SURE they will.. but they have a hard time finding 140 MILLION in cuts there..

You can't kick the can down the road forever. We've already done it for a while now. It's time to start solving the structural problems. Also, when you say "cut retirement", what do you mean? FCPS is not in charge of the VRS system. The reason that there was a "rollback" of contributions to the VRS was that the state allowed that to happen for a year so that school systems across the state would have enough money to operate without raising taxes. We now have to pay that money back to VRS (we have 7 years to do that---with interest of course). The state mandates that we pay into the VRS and the pension system is also regulated by federal laws (for good reason). It's not something that FCPS can just decide on its own. I don't think it's on the table as a place to "cut". The VRS is 35% underfunded already. I suppose we could go to 50% underfunded like some other states are (Illinois is the worst right now), but that is probably not a place we want to be. You might need the money NOW, but you and your kids might need the money LATER too . .. and it might not be there. It's time to do some belt tightening for the future of this country . . .

They can keep the sports and music programs, but simply charge for those who want them. I'd pay for that as a taxpayer, but it's no longer sustainable.

I understand this stuff is important..

But they could also get the kids to raise the money through fundraisers if they can't afford it. Teaching kids how to be entrepreneurs and controlling their own economic destiny is one of the most POWERFUL lessons that can be given to a child.

When I was a child, I was the kid always asking his mom and dad for expensive clothes and everything else. I was begging and begging my dad for $120 pair Air Jordon shoes.. I begged for months.. My dad was a frugal man and couldn't see the sanity in spending over $100 for shoes.. After months of begging, he called me from work and said he was coming home with the Air Jordans.. He pulled up to the driveway, I ran out the house with the biggest smile on my face.. I look in the back of the van for the Air Jordans and saw nothing except a LAWN MOWER and a GAS CAN.

I ask, "Dad, where's the Air Jordans?"
My dad said, "I didn't buy those damn Jordans! I got you a lawnmower instead.. You are gonna go knock on every door in this town and offer to mow their lawn for $10.. The first $60 goes to me to reimburse for the lawnmower I got at the yard sale on the way here.."

Ever since then I paid for my own stuff as a child. I mowed lawns in the Spring/Summer, raked leaves in the Fall, and shoveled snow off sidewalks and driveways in the winter..

My dad and I were never real close.. But I constantly thank him for that valuable lesson.. I wouldn't be the 29 year old man I am today without that lesson.

There needs to be more economic self-reliance and entrepreneurial philosophy being taught to kids at the school and the home!

That is the BACKBONE of what makes our county GREAT!

I wasn't aware of that about the VRS... Thank you for sharing that with me.. I need to research and learn more about that.. I take back my statement on that point..

I generally support the budget cuts. I'm completely open to looking at restructuring the system in a manner that is more efficient and effective.. It's actually becoming my life mission as a voter, taxpayer, and activist..

Children being mislabeled with learning disabilities to be places in Special Ed seems to be a systemic problem throughout America. I'm not sure how true it is, because I don't have all the facts.. But I'm learning that the mislabeling is happening because the schools get extra funding for having kids in Special Ed.

"In most states, schools receive additional revenue for each child placed into special education. When the amount of money that a school will receive for diagnosing a student is greater than or equal to the cost of the additional services they will provide, the school has an incentive to diagnose a child whether or not he is truly disabled..” (http://news.heartland.org/newspaper-article/2009/10/22/special-education-vouchers-prevent-mislabeling)

This area of education, Special Ed, needs to be put under a magnifying glass at the local, state, and federal levels...

This needs to be discussed in school board meetings.

In response to people bringing up ESOL as something to cut... Are you guys serious?

A kid needs to learn how to speak English in order to be educated...

You can bring up immigration arguments about whether they should be in Fairfax County or anywhere in the US, but that has to be taken at the State and Federal level... FCPS can't deny those kids an education..

So that point is ultimately irrelevant to the here and now of squaring away the FCPS budget.

Please take your racism and xenophobia to your state and federal legistlator!

Thank you :-)

What facts and figures are there to support the claim that they "suck up all the resources"?

I would like someone, somewhere, to show and prove that non-English speaking Americans consume more public resources than someone else...

Once they try, I will show how virtually EVERYONE is dependant on public resources to an equal, if not greater extent, than non-English speaking Americans.

I'm not suggesting that it's OK that we are all dependant on the government.. But the fact is, we all are..

I'm not a "bleeding heart liberal", I'm actually a radical Republican.

I believe in rolling back government entitlements.. But when I focus on that as a citizen, voter, and an activist; I do so in a manner that targets government entitlements EVERYWHERE instead of focusing solely on specific "groups" of people in an effort to scapegoat and blame them for all my problems.

It's ashame how the "small government" and "lower government spending" political agendas have evolved into something that subtly validates some people's underlying racist and xenophobic beliefs..

This has hurt the Republican and conservative/libertaran brand..

Ted Velkoff. At Large, chair of the board’s budget committee. If we’re the folks deciding how the money is going to be spent, I want to decide how it gets raised.
Board member Elizabeth Schultz, Springfield, did not support the measure, which she said would hurt already burdened taxpayers.
Fiscal autonomy for the School Board means that the School Board is going to come after your wallet, Schultz said. That’s the bottom line...Watch out.

The US Supreme Court has held that public schools must educate all students who live in the school district, regardless of whether the students or their parents have valid immigration visas.

FCPS must comply with this law. However, FCPS could look more closely at whether the existing ESOL program could be restructured to save money. In addition, the Supervisors could enforce existing zoning laws and consider more carefully the impact of low-income housing proposals on the school system.

"Most people in America have had their employer lower their contribution to their retirement plan during the economic recession. If there was a choice between getting one's salary cut, and getting retirement cut, then most people would choose the retirement because that doesn't do immediate harm; unlike a salary cut because you need that money NOW."

It is mandatory for FCPS teachers to contribute to the retirement system. When retirement was cut we had to make up the difference out of our pay. I received a pay raise and it was immediately taken to pay for the retirement shortage and the pay taken for retirement was greater than the raise we received. I have lost money every year for 5 years. They tell us that we will receive a raise in January to make up for the retirement cuts, I will believe it when I see it.

Wow! I didn't know it was mandatory for FCPS teachers to contribute to their retirement.. I'm noting this to bring up in school board meetings. Teachers, like everyone else, should have the right to choose whether they want to invest in their retirement. Or.. use their money to invest in a different retirement plan (Roth IRA.. )..

Good point DranesvilleMom. The US Supreme Court case is Plyler v. Doe (1982).

Sunshine is the best disinfectant. 750+ ESOL teachers - that's INSANE. Assuming each costs 100K all in with salary, benefits, training, etc - that's $75M/year.

Not disagreeing with you at all. I am a parent of a FFX County student, a FFX County resident and a FFX County taxpayer. Yes, the school systems budget is out of control, but posting people's name and private, or what I would like to think is private, information is not going to solve anything. If you eat at a restaurant and feel that the meal you were served is overpriced do you post the salary of the hostess, cook and server? How about car salesmen who you know rape everyone who walks through the door? When you take a load of trash to the West Ox Waste Transfer Station do you get pissed at the person who tells you it is $10 instead of $5? God damn they are just doing their job. All I am saying is do not stigmatize or demonize an employee who applied for a job the county is offering. They are just pawns in the game like everyone else. Focus on the School Board and County Council, they are the true dickheads who have put us in this situation. And the next time you see someone in a military uniform please take time out to tell them you are so pissed at them personally for the amount of money the U.S. Government has spent on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, because it really is that servicemembers fault.

Sorry the retirement system needs the contributions to keep it solvent.

All county employees have to pay. Not like California or other places that have failing retirement systems. Teachers actually have two systems for retirement unlike other county employees that only have FX CO Retirement. Teachers are in FX Schools Retirement and VRS thats statewide. Thay may be able to choose one or the other or both as well.. This way teachers can leave Fairfax and can teach in other parts of the state. But in many places they will only have the VRS. There are simular systems for Sheriffs in Va . Most Va counties, town employees are only in the state VRS system but a advantage of that is they can move around also. FX CO employees retirement is FX CO only and cant be moved but it is one of the most solvent in the state.

Fairfax schools face greatest crisis since 1950s

from Fairfax Times.com

By Ryan McElveen, at-large member of the Fairfax County School Board.

Sagging hallways. Stained carpeting. Musty locker rooms. Suffocating science labs. Restrooms evocative of truck stops.

Such are the highlights of a tour through Fairfax County’s five aptly named “legacy high schools,” also known as Falls Church, Herndon, Langley, Oakton and West Springfield, which were built between 1965 and 1968 but have yet to undergo a full renovation.

Continuing the tour through Fairfax County’s other schools will reveal row upon row of temporary classrooms — 990 in all — leading Fairfax facilities staff to joke that their office has become the largest trailer dealer on the East Coast. But it’s no laughing matter for students at Bailey’s Elementary School, which holds the ignominious title of housing the most trailers of any school in the county: 19.

These schools offer a view of the dark, dank underbelly of what is arguably the nation’s best performing large school district. They are the manifestation of years of failed leadership from Virginia’s elected officials who have forced school districts to economize until they burst at the seams; symbols of the biggest financial crisis facing Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) since the 1950s and 1960s, during which the student population exploded from 17,000 to 133,000.

Over the last five years, FCPS has faced an influx of 3,000 new students per year, a growth rate that will bring its student population to 200,000 by the end of the decade. Over that same five-year period, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors has only been able to afford an annual school bond allocation averaging $150 million, well short of the $273 million that would be required annually to renovate the 196 schools on the recommended 25-year cycle.

Assuming passage of Fairfax’s biennial school bond measure on November 5, three of those dilapidated legacy high schools will begin to undergo their first full renovation since Fairfax’s mid-20th century population boom. But others may still have to wait another decade for relief.

Unfortunately, these long-deferred infrastructure needs portend even more troubling trends for local schools. Unless Fairfax and Virginia leaders can swiftly determine new ways to secure significant increases in education funding, the consequences will be stark: minority achievement gaps will widen; already large class sizes and high staffing ratios will increase; advanced academic, arts, world language and special education programs will face cuts; teacher pay will remain stagnant; and fees for tests and sports will become the norm.

Lacking taxing authority, the Fairfax County School Board—which cut administrative costs to the bone during the recession and, as a recent state efficiency review revealed, can save a mere $15 million in efficiencies in its $2.5 billion budget over the next five years—sees no relief in sight.

Beginning its fiscal year 2015 budgeting process, FCPS faces a $140 million shortfall prior to any salary increases. This shortfall is the result of a perfect storm of factors: unrelenting population growth dominated by economically disadvantaged and non-English speaking students, Virginia Retirement System changes, rising healthcare costs, and a plethora of unfunded state mandates for which Fairfax pays more than $100 million annually.

Fairfax is not alone—school systems throughout Virginia are also suffering. But as the state’s largest system that enrolls more new students each year than any other, Fairfax is suffering on an even greater scale. While Virginia has cut spending by $695 per student since 2008, all localities have been left to scrounge for funding.

In 1950, classes of Fairfax students were inhumanely squeezed into boiler rooms, closets, partitioned auditoriums and Quonset huts. At many elementary schools, water wells went dry before the end of the school day. Black high school students had to travel to Manassas because Fairfax could not afford to build its own black high school.

At that critical turning point, the School Board, with the support of the Board of Supervisors, made arguably the boldest financial move in Fairfax history by asking voters to approve the first-ever county school bond. To the surprise of those leaders, Fairfax voters passed that bond with 67 percent of the vote.

While Fairfax no longer confronts school segregation or dry school wells, today’s funding and capacity crisis is just as dire. We cannot continue to wait for our state and federal leaders to restore—much less increase—funding for public education.

Instead, we owe it to future generations of students to take action as bold as that taken by our predecessors in 1950 to save our prized public schools from an otherwise inevitable decline. It is time for our Board of Supervisors to finally heed the call of Supervisor Gerry Hyland (Mount Vernon) to support a 4 percent meals tax dedicated to funding our schools, a measure that could generate as much as $100 million annually.

Until our county leaders take this bold action, our legacy schools will remain standing as reminders of a bygone era when public officials understood the importance of building a better future for our country.

Thanks for sharing this.. I've been doing TONS research on FCPS because I'm a new resident in Fairfax County...

I wonder how much infrastructure costs can be mitigated once online learning progresses, or "cyber schooling" progresses, or "blended learning" progresses where student take some classes at the physical schoolhouse and some on the computer.

Those developments won't fix the infrastucture challenges in the short term, but online learning is on the rise and has potential to mitigate the infrastructure problems in the medium to long term.

I too have served in the military, U.S. Army to be exact. It was sarcasm. No offense taken. It would take much more than words on an internet message board to really piss me off.

why doesn't someone run some statistics on the demographics? w

here is the influx? were more houses built? some of the older schools are in the lower affluent areas. those kids don't have computers so online learning isn't feasible. some schools are on modified schedule which means they go year round, those kids need free meals and free daycare to keep them off the streets. how many kids live in apartments and therefore don't pay real estate tax? how many kids are children of diplomats? how many kids have ieps and other specialty plans which require extra resources?

what about the kids who are fed breakfast before they go to school and who have been taught to finish their homework and go to bed at a reasonable hour?

where is the pie chart showing the parents who pay taxes to keep this system afloat vs the families who drain the system? where is the chart showing how supportive the administrators are to the parents who do all the contributing vs the parents who have sports stars?

The guy who authored that article is a School Board member. I'm new to the community and I've been watching tons of videos of meetings from the FCPS website. This guy doesn't believe a single nickle can be cut from school spending. He's a tax-and-spend liberal who will just keep trying to raise your taxes.

He's young, and hasn't worked a REAL job. Check out his bio:
(http://www.ryanforschoolboard.com/about.html)

----------------
"Ryan took office on January 1, 2012, as an At large member of the Fairfax County School Board, representing 1.1 million constituents. At age 25, Ryan became the youngest person ever elected to the School Board.

Ryan works at The Brookings Institution Thornton China Center researching Chinese politics. In addition to his think-tank work, Ryan’s experience spans the public- and private-sectors, NGOs and academia. He has worked in the International Operations and Policy office of the Boeing Company, at Columbia University's Weatherhead East Asian Institute, in the correspondence and communications departments of The Clinton Foundation and The Clinton Global Initiative, and for Senator Carl Levin (D-MI) on the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. He has also served as assistant director of the Chinese language program at the UVA Center in Shanghai, China, and translated and assisted with educational programming initiatives for The China Institute in America.

Ryan has and will continue to champion diversity, curriculum internationalization, and academic freedom. At the University of Virginia, he authored a well-received strategic plan for internationalizing UVA’s curriculum. He also chaired and served on several committees devoted to diversity issues and minority political mobilization and moderated a lecture series addressing those problems. For these efforts he won UVA’s 2008 Cultural Fluency Award. In 2010, he led a UVA protest of Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli’s efforts to debunk UVA research on climate change.

Ryan is the author of “Challenging Yellow: Decoding Skin Color in Urban China and the Confluence of Tradition and Globalization,” which won the 2008 Elizabeth Cady Stanton Award for the best essay in the study of women and gender, and he was a finalist in the Washington Post’s “America’s Next Great Pundit” contest in 2010. He was the 2012 recipient of the Charles S. Robb Young Leaders Award, and he currently serves on the Business Advisory Board of the George Mason University Confucius Institute.

Born and raised in Vienna, Virginia, Ryan is a graduate of Westbriar Elementary School, Kilmer Middle School and Marshall High School, where he served as Class President and graduated with an International Baccalaureate diploma.

Ryan graduated Phi Beta Kappa from UVA, with a B.A. in Anthropology and East Asian Studies. He holds a Master’s of International Affairs from Columbia University with a concentration in human rights.

In his spare time, Ryan enjoys playing the violin, running, baking, and visiting historic homes and national parks. He speaks Mandarin Chinese (including Sichuan dialect), Spanish and conversational Korean. "
-------------------------

He's knowledgeable, but he's NOT SMART... There's a difference between being knowledgable and being smart. He lives in a universe that's completely different from the average American. His college education and work experience just yells "academic", "social idealist", "policy wonk", "career politician".

There was someone on this post complaining about the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, and how it's a waste of money... THANK THIS GUY! That crap will never go away as long as this guy's around.. And the taxpayer won't save a couple million from killing that program.. We could probably kill the IB, take some of the savings to improve AP programs, and pass the rest of the savings back to the taxpayer.

I watched this kid cry and whine like a little bitch, at the last school board meeting, about the state of VA and the Federal Government's budget cuts... You know.. those "crazy" politicians out there who believe in balanced budgets.. smh

--------------------

FCPS has 180,000+ students that's growing. They complain about the rising costs because of new people moving in the area. Why doesn't FCPS turn that into an advantage and charge each student $2 a month for school construction and re-renovation?

If they charged each of the 180,000 students $2 a month, then they would raise $360,000 a month, $4.32 million a year, $43.2 million in 10 years, $86.4 million in 20 years, and $100 million after 23 years. The construction bond would pay for itself without additional cost to the Fairfax County taxpayer.

FCPS can also have kids raise the $2 a month by organizing fundraisers.

FCPS can also... WAIT FOR IT.... create a WORK STUDY program!!!!!

Instead of paying school janitors to mop floors and clean bathrooms, have children do that work.

Instead of having grounds keepers mow lawns, have children do that.

Instead of paying people to do simple admin tasks like stick folders in file cabinets in alphabetical order, have kids do that.

I saw a job posted on the Fairfax County website for someone to clean dog kennels, walk dogs, and clean their food dishes (Police department). I HAD THAT AS A HOUSEHOLD CHORE WHEN I WAS 8 YEARS OLD! Why are they offering that job to an adult for $13/hr. GET A CHILD TO DO THAT THROUGH A WORK STUDY PROGRAM!

I also saw a library assistant job posted for the public library. A child can do that job too!

A work study program helps make FCPS' costs self-sufficient AND it teaches children responsibility and life skills. If children worked at younger ages, then they will be less CULTURE SHOCKED when they go to college and find that they have to work a part-time job to pay their tuition and textbooks.

They can also charge $100-$150 fees per child, per program, for all after-school sports, music, and activities. And the children earn that money through fundraisers and/or work study program. (Or a parent can just pay it)

This pussy ass, bleeding heart liberal, Ryan McElveen could never come up with an idea like the one I proposed. Because he's never done any real productive work in his life that's similar to the average American. SMH

"They can also charge $100-$150 fees per child, per program, for all after-school sports, music, and activities. And the children earn that money through fundraisers and/or work study program."

They already have a $100 class fee for high school music courses. The student also has to pay for concert clothes (beyond the $100 course fee). Technical courses have fees as well (for supplies). I am pretty sure that other activities already have fundraisers (they all seem to be selling stuff---fruit, candy bars, mulch, candles, etc., etc.). I do agree that the sports fee is fair given that music already has the fee (and that's for an actual course---not for after school activity like a sport).

Awesome! That's a step in the right direction! Anything that's not part of the core curriculum should be paid for out of pocket. A work study program would be an additional means, on top of fundraisers, for students to do that.

If they don't like the term "work study", then they can call it a "volunteer program". Since many sports teams and other afterschool programs do volunteer work. FCPS can setup a system where students perform jobs that were originally allocated to paid adult workers (janitors, admin staff, etc.) and the students "volunteer" to do them for "free", and a smaller percentage of the money that FCPS would have paid to adult workers then goes toward sports programs, music classes, etc.

FCPS would save money on janitors and other positions because the student volunteer earn maybe... $7 an hour for an hour of janitorial work... toward their sports/music programs. FCPS probably pays about $13 or more an hour for an adult, so they are saving the taxpayer at least $6 an hour. AND they don't have to pay benefits to the student volunteer, unlike an adult worker. So that's additional cost savings.

It will only get worse as more and more illegals come here and line up for their free stuff. The ESOL classes are very expensive. Then there is the free breakfast and lunch plus assorted waivers on fees that apply to the rest of the student population. The middle class who pay the bills are quickly leaving the county so soon enough there will be just the rich and the poor. The rich will figure out the loopholes to get out of paying taxes and the increasing poor will demand more services from the local government.

The liberal run BOS applaud the arriving illegals and see them as guaranteed future votes. Yet soon enough the BOS will govern over a defunct county awash in debt and no more middle class pockets to pick from.

The administrators and all the beaurocratic middle managers need the axe too! There's plenty of people on this post who commented on that.

".. the free lunchers, the newly arrived who bring other family members who also suck off the county, the parents who pay no taxes."

You make an interesting point. However, what about the taxpayer who has NO CHILDREN, and never did? From that taxpayer's standpoint, the entire FCPS is a "free lunchers" or "free riders". Why should someone who chose to wear a condom have to pay for other people's children? Careful, that's a dangerous slippery slope.. lmfao

because that is how society works.

a good school system keeps the property values up which keeps the neighborhood desirable.

a poor school system creates flight and blight.

so one must accept paying taxes to the school system regardless of personal benefit.

its the raising of the taxes and the uncontrolled hand outs, the waste of the tax money by the unchecked school system that is the problem.

Agreed! And streamlining education spending to just the core curriculum keeps taxes at it's current levels or lower. Charging fees for all other costs not related to the core curriculum mitigates rising costs. The work study/volunteer program I suggested above would actually lower costs further by eliminating paid jobs that can be done by students for less. The students also develop work skills/life skills and make them less likely to live in poverty when they're older. People on this forum complain about children living on reduced lunches and poor people not paying taxes. What if children worked at younger ages and had proper values of self-reliance instilled? Wouldn't that make them statistically less likely to live in poverty and collect government assistance indefinitely?

Also, I understand completely that a strong education system raises home values. I wasn't suggesting that people shouldn't pay toward public education. I was trying to contradict another poster's complaint about people "free riding" and draining the tax system.

However, the tax system should transition out of property taxes, and toward a sales tax. A sales tax might provide more stability in revenue than a property tax. FCPS appeared to have a serious revenue problem when home values dropped during the 2008 housing bubble. I seriously believe that is going to happen again within the next 5-10 years.

work study is a great idea. good luck getting these privileged spoiled brats to pick up a broom. generation was raised on lessons and enrichment, AP's, travel teams - very few know how to mow a lawn or hold a rake. that is why many are unemployed, they are academically gifted but have never developed life skills. many can't cook, sew or change oil in a car. the maids cleaned the toilets and put sheets on their beds.

I'm not 100% sure how I feel about the ESOL and foreign language training at FCPS. In respect to immigrants, FCPS has no choice in whether or not they educate them. They cannot deny them an education under Federal law. FCPS could crack down on immigration paperwork and get more picky, in an effort to tighten the screw on how many immigrants are slipping through the cracks. But most likely, a high percentage of the immigrants have all the right paperwork.

One the other hand, foreign language training makes students eligable for very high paying jobs in DC and in the Armed Forces. If a kid can speak some Mandarin Chinese before high school, then he's never gonna make less than 50-60K. Hell, he can even be self-employed and translate documents on the internet for people.

The immigration debate has to be fought at the Federal level, not FCPS.

One way to streamline costs would be to consolidate the ESOL and Foreign Language classes somehow. Where english speakers trying to learn chinese, and a chinese speaker trying to learn english, are stuck in the same classroom and try to learn from one another.. I don't know if they're already doing that or not... I honestly don't know too much about the ESOL programs. That's something for me to look into as a concerned taxpayer.

Exactly! And our education system is FAILING them because of it! If they don't wanna pick up a broom, then their rich parents can eat the costs of all the fees.. Too easy!

Oh.. and about the immigrants.. people can talk trash about immigrants.. but those people can push a broom and clean a kitchen better than ANYONE.. I spent my late teens and early twenties working in food service and lodging. Immigrant workers are amoung the hardest working people I met. The immigrants at FCPS can toe the line and join the new Work Study Army! 180,000+ FCPS students strong and GROWING!

Since Northern Virginia loves Democrats so much, maybe they should read their history and relearn about FDR and learn about his Civilian Conservation Corps: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_Conservation_Corps

A Work Study program won't look much different than that. Instead of 18-25 year olds, it will be with children 18 and younger doing jobs that are less dangerous and lower skilled.

In terms of danger or hazard, the benchmark should be "Is this job more dangerous than playing on a high school football team?".. If the answer is "No!", then the child isn't being "abused".

Bush, a republican, enacted the no child left behind program, a federal mandate with no funding for states.

Everyone should learn a foreign language but Japanese immersion doesn't seem fitting when China is the next frontier.

Schools are still teaching French and Spanish, French was outdated in the 70's, why not offer Chinese and Spanish for the curriculum?

I agree, languages like French should be eliminated. They should only teach foreign languages that are spoken in the US. That's mainly Spanish, and many Asian languages. Plus, the US does, and will continue, to do international commerce with Asia. So Asian langauges have value for anyone looking for work in DC, Armed Forces, or doing domestic/international business deals with Asian owned businesses in the US or abroad.

PS: I was NEVER a fan of Bush, or No Child Left Behind. My comment about Democrats in my previous post wasn't implying that Republicans are better. Both political parties are messed up!

In partnership with Ted Kennedy. Passed the House 384-45, Senate 91-8. It was as bipartisan as they come. Get your facts straight.

I heard that one of the money saving ideas being floated is doing away with the road mechanics that go out and try to get the dilapidated school buses running again after they crap out (dozens every day). They are usually successful at patching them up enough to be driven away.

If they do it, get used to seeing junk buses sitting around wherever they died until the tow truck contractor gets around to hauling them away.

School bus costs about 100K each. FCPS has 136,715 bus riders. If FCPS charged a $2/mth. or $20/school year fee for bus maintainence or purchase of new buses, then that would be $273,430 a month and $2.734 million a school year. That's enough to buy 27 brand new buses a year. WITH JUST TWO DOLLARS!

FCPS have 1,534 buses! Each bus lasts 10 years! 27 new buses each year should be enough to run a continuous lifecycle. If not, double the amount to $4-5 a month per child, and it's self-sufficient.

Parents can opt out of paying it by driving their child to school.

My work study proposal is getting better and sweeter!

Wife drives a bus and I like your idea. One small error in your calculations, FCPS keeps their buses for 18 years, not 10.

Actually, it takes five or more years for a driver to move up to a 10 year-old bus.

SpeedFx187 I with FCPS would offer you a job. Then take on each school one at a time to clean up the mess in the schools with each school administration. The waste that goes on. The lazy teachers and office support. I think each school only has about 2 people who really ca in the offices. Maybe there is to much stress or they are not paid enough to put up with the parents. The school where my kids go there is only one person who is willing to help all the others just pass you along. Every parent I know goes to this one lady when there'd are at least 10 office workers. I jut think the moral at the school level is very low. How is it when you go to your child's school?
