A report prepared by the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University concludes that Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), as the largest employer within Fairfax County, contributes $2.2 billion to the Fairfax County economy and is one of the most important sources of local economic activity.

The report’s author, Dr. Stephen S. Fuller, found that FCPS accounts for 4.1 percent of the countywide employment base and its budgeted FY 2017 spending accounts for 2.0 percent of county’s gross county product, making FCPS the second largest source of economic activity in the county following the federal government.

“Dr. Fuller’s report clearly shows how FCPS is a major contributor to the Fairfax County economy and plays an important role in our community’s quality of life, sustainability and future growth,” says FCPS Superintendent Karen Garza. “Our primary mission remains ensuring all of our students succeed in the classroom and beyond. This report demonstrates that in fulfilling our mission, FCPS provides a significant economic benefit to the community. Funding from our community provided to FCPS by our local and state partners has a positive impact that goes well beyond our classrooms.”

The FCPS ad above admits only half of FCPS contracts go to Fairfax County businesses.

Granted, a lot of contracts go to retired FCPS administrators who now live elsewhere, but can't we support our own a little better than this?

Maybe Ryan McElveen can propose a resolution that more than half of transgender spending be awarded to Fairfax County businesses.

I wonder how much FCPS paid GMU to prepare this so-called report.

Hold your breath and FCPS may produce an audit report before the budget is approved.

So we CAN tax our way to prosperity, just like Venezuela, Cuba, and North Korea! Thanks, comrade Fuller!
