Falls Church School Board Work Session - June 25, 2024

Falls Church City Public Schools

During last night's Falls Church School Board monthly work session, the Board received written reports from the School Board Advisory Committees and School Affiliated Organizations and oral reports from a few of the Committees. The discussions included the use of technology in schools and an update on the State Budget. The update highlighted several key points:

• The General Assembly adopted an amended FY 2024 budget and a 2024-2026 biennial budget, which the Governor signed into law.

• Changes in sales tax distributions resulted in decreased state funding for school divisions while funding for the Infrastructure and Operations Per Pupil Fund increased.

• Overall, the state budget impacts on FCCPS for FY 2025 include minor adjustments in funding allocations, with a recommendation to restore recurring funding for two positions and defer action on remaining available funds for potential future needs.
