be here today. Thank you. To superintendents advisory Council for entrusting this position and to make want for her guidance and support as I transition into this role. When I think of this position,
I think the slogan nothing about us without us for school system to properly serve his constituents in must include the voice of those. It serves soon serve someone who not only understands or experience, but he's committed
to representing there concerns ideas and aspirations, someone who doesn't listen doesn't just listened improvise. Policies that impact students should never be made without our input. As a student
representative, it's my responsibility to ensure perspectives are heard in Jenin considered adults may experiencing structure that students bring insight into what it's like to navigate policies being made, whether
it's green or form disciplinary practices, mental health resources, even how we use our phones in class. We're live in these realities every day. The student presented bridges, the gap between decision makers and student body, ensuring that every
conversation at the board includes people that most affected by it my 2 years in super intense advisory Council come to deeply appreciate House districts operate how school districts operate, how
powerful can be. Watching policy changes like reading reform, take shape and knowing that student voices were part of that process has fuel Nizar keep pushing for thoughtful, inclusive change this year.
I've set 3 key parties for times roll. First I'm committed to reducing portion at this point in our schools. Discipline practices must be fair, restored and equitable. So every student feel seen
supported and given the opportunity go for mistakes and not defined by them. Second, I would like to elevate soon pausing student voice in policy decisions not just in my position, but I building stronger channels for students across the county to
be heard. That included. That includes spotlighting voices that are often left out of the conversation. And 3rd, our work closely leadership and soon stakeholders support the implementation of the revised greeting something grading and
cell phone policies. These changes reflect years. A pseudonym put. My goal is to make sure they rolled out in a way that works for everyone for students, teachers and schools. I would also like take a moment to talk about the student advisory
community. The Student Community Advisory Committee. This year. We received 180 applications, incredible show student interest and engagement. review process currently underway and interviews with next week. We
plan to announce selected students in August. And I can't wait to begin working with such a motivated every script leaders from across Fcps. Finally, I'm honored to working alongside these dedicated members of the board. I deeply admire the

>> Agenda. 5.0 4 annual school board organizational arrangements. As the outgoing chair. I will take a moment to provide some brief remarks. So
as I conclude my time as chair, I've been reflecting on what we've accomplished together. It's been an honor to serve in this role and I'm grateful for the trust placed
in me as boarded our new colleagues and are returning colleagues and got to work on behalf of our students, educators and staff. I'm especially thankful to superintendent read in division leadership for their
dedication and partnership. The clerks and Providence District team for their invaluable assistance. And to Mallony mayor Sandy Anderson, who served ably as vice chairs
during my tenure. For their study leadership throughout our collaborative work together. When I stepped into this role, I believe we could make our work more transparent and impactful it together. I
think we have over the past 18 months we've made our committee meetings more accessible to the public by recording and streaming them online for the first time ever. We've also added new
layers of transparency to one of our most important duties. A school board members by posting a summary of the superintendent's annual evaluation online. These
changes make our work easier to follow and accountability stronger and more impactful. We've also made our meetings more efficient because as MS Anderson often reminds us a public meeting that stretches
past 10:00PM is not very public at all. We've streamlined our agenda is restrained ourselves from speaking out, items like proclamations adopted a 48
hour rule for most motions allowing everyone on the board and the public time to engage and learn more. We've ensure greater fidelity to meetings, run by Robert's rules of order
and the results are meetings are regularly shorter than they have been in recent memory. But we haven't just improved how we work. We've also delivered on the substance as well. We approved
the first collective bargaining contract in the history of Fairfax County. Public Schools finally giving our teachers ataff a seat at the table. We completed a comprehensive review of the school boundary policy for the
first time in half a century. We updated our grading policy to enhance rigor and bring greater consistency across the division. Many of the economic indicators we monitor to ensure student success are
trending in the right direction. We've also made significant progress on our Joint Environmental Task Force Schools, putting more electric buses on the road substantially expanding the number of schools with solar
power initiating plans for net-zero school construction projects. These types of conservation efforts save U.S. millions of dollars every year that can be reinvested in student success. And after
years of work, we are finally on the verge of acquiring at Western High School site, a cost saving investment in our future that will serve generations for of students for years to come. And we've
done it all while standing firm on our values, our commitment to excellence, equity and opportunity has never wavered, even in the face of unprecedented attacks and public education from Washington and Richmond. We've
worked hard to ensure schools remain in place where students feel safe, supported and included where they can walk the halls of our schools free from the burdens of the outside world and focus on
what really matters most. Their education. This work is not always been easy, but it has always been work it. I am proud of what we've accomplished together. And I look forward to sitting at the end of the dais as we meet the
challenges that lie ahead. Thank you. All. All right. The moment I've all been waiting for. The next order of
business is agenda item. 2.0 5, the annual organization Motion Section. 22 DOT one dash. 76 of the code of Virginia specifies at the annual organizational meeting.

focuses on school board governance and one of the things that I was just looking through the agenda for this this weekend. >> It talks about how school
boards are most effective. That's when our students get greatest benefit. So one of the things I'm reading, it says by clarifying the foundational elements of the board's work through having
explicit roles, responsibilities, governance and onboarding school boards can truly be equipped to drive systemic change. So I know that we have so many passions,
all of us. But I think that you Ms, Anderson, this is such a huge, historic moment. >> opportunity for us to figure out how this board can lead and really elevate
ourselves from a lot of details that can bring us the straight. So I hope that we can do that work. And again, thank you for stepping up to be at the helm of our of our flat Board of 12 Individual
people, which is a huge task in and of itself. So thank you. >> Are there any other board members who wish to speak? This lady?

perspective, I really enjoyed actually. go back to the First Sanderson issue. I kick off? And I didn't know who she was and I never went to her kickoff. So. That tells you a little bit about how to be a
politician. She's a little better than me, I think. but since coming on the board, great respect for her past experiences of higher education, current work that she was doing, writing
curriculum in the STEM world for K 12 in just all the work in her attention detail. I think it's been highlighted effectively. So I think she will lead us beautifully. Mike, we both agree the
collaboration is the best way forward. I appreciate my colleague Miss merits comments in relation work that she's doing right now for professional development. So just very excited to MS.
Anderson stepped into the role as chair and working alongside her. Thank you. >> If there are no other comments, then we'll proceed with the vote, which requires

County School board first call on those who nominated Ms Lady for comments Saint John coming. >> Thank you. When I first
came on the as a part-time school board member, I was really excited when I met Robin Li the because I was glad to have a colleague. >> Have something in common with me since both of us have
worked in fcps for over. 25 years. And we were both motivated to be on the school board to continue serving our fcps community. In the almost
2 years that we served together. I have come to see the dedication and commitment this lady puts into this work. It isn't borne by her years of experience working with students, families and
community. This lady's North star deceitful. Fcps students reach their fullest potential and she understands how that looks different for each student. And that's a really
important distinction that I admire. However, it doesn't stop there. Her experience also means she knows how important every fcps staff member is and how valuable
their work is. She understands how significant it is to create a positive school culture where staff members can show up to do their best work so her students can
succeed. Aside from her experience in Fcps lady has served on various boards as a board member and a board leader. To that end, she has worked diligently to create a
co-operative culture among school board members as well as with the leadership team. And this is a well-known fact that she's very humble. But this April, the Potomac and Chesapeake Association for
college admission counseling, presented Miss lady with their highest honor Apperson award presented to a member of their organization whose career embodies the ideals providing
extraordinary service to students. Some of the word seized in that recognition apply to the workplace lady does on this board and I will use them Perhaps what stands
out most about this person? Is there deep dedication to lifting others. They have supported colleagues around the desk, generously sharing wisdom, support and
encouragement. They have been a guiding light many always willing to lend an ear for advice and help navigate
challenges. They are small. I admire sand, but and I admire him us ladies ability to listen to others, coalesce information and then bring us together. This lady also
continues to prefer to pursue professional development opportunities on her own dime. And then generously shares all of this information and knowledge with this board so that it will inform and help
us make the best decisions for the division. I could go on and on. But I do have a time limit. So said to say it is a privilege for me to sit beside
miss lady and work with the true champion for Fcps teachers. Staff and the book all students. I will add here that I can't say enough about her integrity and the ability
to build trust. So it is really my distinct honor to nominate my colleague intend to be vice chair for the Fairfax County School Board for the 2025 2026. Yeah. Thank you. Miss Eaton County.
>> Sizemore Heizer. Would you like to speak to your second? Yes, thank you. I would. if I may indulge mostly before I start, I like to say couple words to outgoing chairman, Mr. Fresh. Having served
myself both this chair and vice chair. I know how incredibly difficult and challenging this role is in from Mr. Fish to serve for 18 months of a role that takes a lot out of you in 12 months is
really admirable. And I just wanted to a minute of thank you for your calm, your collaboration, your humor and having come on the board with you together in January 2020,
just 3 months 100 year global crisis. Being able to navigate that with and then watch you lead into a new board has been an honor thank you.
>> So lady, I have the privilege of also second in your nomination and I'm thrilled about this. While you are newer to the board, you had decades of public service coming into here and work in public education and your list
of leadership within your schools as well as another boards in the community is very impressive. Not just starting your career as a secondary counselor in 1995. serving that. And Thomas
Jefferson and the recipient of the Director Student Services Award in 2015, the Rising Star Program Award and the president which shows a lot of faith from your colleagues of the Potomac and Chesapeake
Association and funnily enough Saint John Cutting. I had the exact same pulled that we were going to share from your lords. I'm not going to share it, but I did have it written here as well. I just wanted to speak also that I've seen you guys leading the governance
committee this year, lead with grace and flexibility and really working hard to make sure voices were heard and that work move forward. So thank you for stepping up into this very difficult role. It is.
>> As having served in both these roles, quite a challenge and thank you for the time you're going to be spending the hours and hours and hours and phone call that you'll be taking and the dedication that
you are showing to us and the school system by stepping up. So thank you. Mystic's it. I
would love to it's lady and Miss Lady, I think of 27 years in fcps. >> And it's like I guess this town take it with me for a long time. And and thank you
for reminding that always. But and dismissed lot to learn from you. you know, you've working in the school system, the insight you have for somebody like me who was being a parent, but not being

progress continues to be a measure of students gain in gains and English language proficiency over a two-year period. So you can see that we have an increasing number of
students that have met progress as well as an increasing number of students period. But we've gone from
48.3% in 2023 to 57 point one percent in 2025. and the Virginia Percents continue to legs were outperforming. The commonwealth at this time, at
least last year. And we're hopeful that we will again this year. The data has not been posted yet. But we're excited about the progress. Our students are making and
their hard work as well as the hard work of our staff and the parents supporting our students. Thanks. The English
language development is definitely a key to academic success and they think it's important. Also to remember, this isn't just about numbers and data. These percentages
represent thousands and thousands of individual success. Stories. These are students of burnout. Well over 35,000, multilingual learners
in our division. And this represents tens of thousands of experiences. So we're very excited about the progress we're making and look to accelerate that even further in the coming year. So Madam
Chair, that is academic matters this evening. And if there any questions, I'm happy to answer them. >> Sizemore Heizer. Thank you.
And I just wanted say thank you for this presentation and I'm for you and your staff's hard work with a multilingual students. I know that your staff very hard. This has a
focus of efforts this year to help support a multilingual students or I like to call, experience ritual time with students because that level of effort, it takes a new influx them experience for students
bring in and the knowledge and effort to speak more than one language is pretty impressive. So I think it's incredible. The work that our multilingual students doing, the experiences that they bring to our schools. A couple things I
just wanted lift up. I want to commend you for this progress to go from. 48.3% progress in 23 to 55.5% to 57.1 is pretty
darn impressive. So I just wanted say to you, to your staff and all of our teachers, we're working h*** o* that. Thank you for this. Because as we saw in data that you presented earlier this year
are multilingual students. Once they complete the multilingual program actually do better so well. Scores. Then the average of our test, I think of the many of our
other subgroups. So our multilingual services work not just for helping arced multilingual students learn another language. Write English. addition to having many other languages, they
speak. But it also works in terms of academic achievement evidence by TSA will score. So this is really great work. Guys, want to commend you your staff for that? I do think we need to continue to work a
multilingual students nation. They can access high-level academics while still in the English learner, multilingual programming so that we don't lose their academic, you know, progress of getting the chance
develop their skills and talents even won that. So I think that's an area that we could continue to focus on. But this is really incredible work. I just wanted lift that up. Thank you. Yes, Ma'm there, Steph. Yeah, thank you.
I know a number of our staff are not here this evening as well. That have worked very h*** o* this. >> But going from 2023 where we're actually lagging behind

57% is certainly better than 48, but it's not where we want to be. And I believe this year we've got a number of plans in
place too, provide even more acceleration. And don't miss Nield. You have a sense of what our current target is based on.
>> I believe the current target this year was 59%. We just felt just short of that for the entire for until 2030. The state target, though, was
56%. So we met that target and this coming year will be 58%. >> So what going on going to 2030? yeah, I'm not sure what
Rich is saying is we don't have this year's data yet or if we do, it's not in the charred. >> could. If you could get back to me in don't get again.
I'm happy that we're making progress. Just want see it with her. This was the article more. I. don't want to sound

question that I have ease a meeting where 2 men progress. My understanding ISIS eating meas meeting state Target's correct. You know, PD Lee set
targets. He's the major and gets. And depending upon level of proficiency, those targets might different just for the public. Would you be able to explain
>> that's correct. So that video, we progress Target. It's based on the el-p level of the students of the language for sea level that each student starts and their
grade level. So good state has established a matrix. So, for example, if you are in second grade and you're a level one, you're expected to make. >> One level one level of

in Cape ability our staff Fcps. Do you agree with APD Ollie's targets? >> Yeah. These are just
deserve Edu. We target specifically. >> what I'm saying to you to you, do you agree with Goes Why targets with us?
>> Yes, believe they are the right targets for us. I think we're always striving to do better. So I think as we look at students, we want them first and foremost to me to we target. But the ultimate
target that we want them to make is to reach proficiency. So each year we're looking to make sure that students continue on that road toward proficiency, which Virginia is
to reach a comparably comprehensive score of 4.4. So we're really looking at 2 things every year. Our students meeting the video we
benchmark and how close are they going to proficiency? And as students get closer to proficiency, we don't want to stop that. English language development. Want to continue on that to make sure that they
do reach proficiency. We do not want students to languish, you know, at level 3 level 4, want students to keep going to meet those to meet full proficiency. And that's where
as was mentioned earlier, students really start to show that they can master economic content, the classroom. >> Thank probably may want to
send you any R with a few more questions, but some of the time. Thank you.

have in terms of know, we measure. will. 2 in terms of their proficiency in English.
We do conduct any tests. Teen in separate language in terms of content. So is it possible for a child to actually know the content but not be able to
demonstrate that they know the content because they don't have the language proficiency. >> I think it absolutely is possible. And we've seen that we've actually heard from students, particularly in
mathematics. >> That there >> Students have expressed concerns at times that they've been placed and lower level math courses. One actually understood the math content.
So that's one of the project's touch upon saying his team are working on for the coming year is to make sure that we can have a better match for mathematics placement for multilingual students in
particular. But absolutely that's possible. >> I just really please. I ask that question. >> This. Because I know that a lot of times there's a
perception that maybe our multilingual learners. >> They be academically a disadvantage with sometimes they're not. And it's just that they're not able to express what they do know. And
I just want be mindful as a community. And I know that as a school system, we are about the many schools that are multilingual learners to bring to our community into our
buildings. that it's really something that is unique to Fairfax in terms of the variety of languages and even the variety of ways that some of our multilingual learners
solve problems like seeing them showing some of our students how to solve problems in a different way because they wanted a different way in their country. So. I just want to stress that sometimes the
ability to not proficiently express your knowledge. That's not necessarily demonstrate that you are academically weeks. >> No, I couldn't agree more. And we have students coming
frll over the world. Who are multilingual. I think most recently in terms of a conversation that we had with one of our students with Sam in Macau are.

proud of, you know me from being a little girl. So now being like an 18 exceeding and light just means accomplishment. I feel like means to a full team. The
strategic plan to me says that every child has the ability to do something to get to whatever it is. Their aspirations are. >> It's our job ensure we provide the resources to get there opportunities not only in school, but school does
exemplify what that's all about. It actually actually with unity. >> So Madam Chair,
congratulations again to all our 2025 graduates and their families all 14,000 plus of them. And that concludes or July strategic plan update. And we look forward to
continuing to provide these monthly glimpses into the strategic planning progress. So thank you, Madam Chair. >> Thank you, Dr Reid at this time. I now invite board members to ask any clarifying
questions or provide comments. So we have miss Sizemore Heizer. >> Thank you. And you do you
have that Dr Republicans, you know what's coming? I appreciate presentation. I really want to applaud variety of courses and options we have
for our students to be able to find their behalf. However, and I I really do. And I think it's it's incredible the things that students can explore in our academies.
However. I was really excited when I saw it. It was about transitioning out of Fcps. We really didn't talk about our transition programs in the
slide at all. We talked about what some students have sort of want to do and they leave. Which is great and very interesting and sort of. When they came in the high school
with and then staff that helped them along the way and a good. That's great. But we didn't talk about transition and this not took me by
surprise a little bit. One of the things that I will say that I been advocating for. Many, many years. While here.
Is looking at our transition programming. And really looking at the fact that when do we design it? When have we?
Holistically updated it. I've said it before, it's not to say again. When you look at our transition program for 18 to 22 year-olds and look at the numbers that access those
programs, it's probably less than 500. What are we doing? For the rest? In systematic programming. For those who can
be here to 22. Progress. Have we made towards that middle school, a transition that we put some staff and the place but having a systematic middle
school program look at that 28 year path. I know this issues with sliders, but there's no issues of sliders. Up to 6 years. To make. Should I have 2 people? I know who graduated
this year from Pulley with standard diplomas and the amount of challenge not for the students, but administratively. For the
families to have to advocate. Was significant. It is no. Surprise the 2 students who graduate that have very active advocate family's been doing
that for 10 to 15 years. I don't know. What we can do, but we need to know what we have done. And I haven't seen anything in what we have done.
And I was really hoping to be something in the slides about transitioning out about what we have done to look at our transition programming. I don't know if I've I've not heard for 15 years. Any
changes to it. It's probably longer than that. Fair point. >> will visit with our department see where we
provide some. say some improvements for next year's slide deck. I just looked up. I see some for his next year. >> Traditional programming. And then we can talk about it.
Our slide deck. But yes, ma'am. Its. When you look at the long-term outcomes. >> We are doing a huge
disservice by not looking at what we are doing and how to improve that on a holistic basis. And it should not take very active parents 15 years
for students who could access this diploma to get it. Point taken. Thank Thank you. Miss
Sizemore Heizer. Mystic's it. >> Thank you. Dr. E for the presentation. All this nice food. You'll accompanied that representation I did want to like understand a bit about
the equity commitment. This line, the center student voice didn't use evidence to charge student state to make informed decision. How are we doing? That is the knee data point on
that or thank Sticks at believe we do Miss Nield. You want to share what that data point would be and we may need to amplify that an upcoming Friday letter. But this now.
>> Yes, so we recently wrapped up some initial analysis of our student experience serving as a part of that. There were questions in there and focus groups to look at students, perceptions around readiness for post-secondary so we can
provide some additional updates in the Friday letter for the poor that pull out that student voice implications. And we're going to be weaving those data points in as part of our goal reporting this coming school year.
>> Thank you so much. That his office to data coming out that the young men are not ready to go to a four-year college or not getting to that. You know,
the vision are I said. It's different for girls and boys, right? So for I just wanted to see be a hearing, the voices for the people who are
probably lost not speaking up and you do focus group. Is it by? >> A school level is by gender
help. Hope is that. So we did some intentional focus groups and in particular, looking at our multilingual learners. >> Are students with IPs was very intentional to try. And senator some of those places
that may not show up in some of our strategic plan work and understanding their individual experiences. So there's some insights in the report and that are provided.
>> look at the what what those students had to say as a part of a deeper dive into the data with them. OK, I'm like to see that board thank you for sharing that doctor. yes, things.
>> Seeing no others were going to go ahead and move forward. Agenda item. 8.0 3 fiscal year 2025 year end review icon Dr
Reid for that fiscal year 2025 year in review. >> Thank you, Madam Chair. And I'm going invite our chief finance officer MS BURDEN to
come up and share our final year in review this burden.
Chairman Anderson, members of the school board and Doctor 8. >> The year in review offers an opportunity for final revisions to fiscal. 25 carry over information and other
revisions to the fiscal 26 approved budget. The total funds available for fiscal. 25 are 87.0. 2 million. And that amount is influenced by
several factors. The actual revenue variants, which is an increase of 2.7 million. And that's made up increase in state revenue and a decrease
in federal revenue. But that decreases just we have to grant funds that support the operating fund. All the other grants are in the Grant Fund and and Carl Perkins and any
grant funds that are and spent had to be carried over. So that's why this appears as a reduction to federal revenue. And then we do have some increases in tuition fees and other. And that's largely
Thomas Jefferson tuition and city of Fairfax. The actual expenditure variance, less reserves commitments in carry over. He's a decrease of 84.5
million. And that variance is primarily to do from savings from laps and turnover. And then we routinely carry over
the outstanding encumbrances or obligations and delivered orders. We have schools project carry over schools. That is the 10% that school's out and actually get to carry
over at Midland High. And 25% at the elementary as well as central office. Multi year projects like textbooks fcps on and those kinds of things.
And we have department critical needs, which is 8.9 million. And that a very limited amount in previous years. We did have quite a bit
more funds at carry over. And I think last year we allocated 26 million to departments as part of year. Ian, we just don't have the funds to be able to do that this year. And
so the amount that is carried over for department says 8.9 million. And then we have reserves of 8.6 million. The reserves are at a 0.6 million.
That number is usually 10 Million. 2 million fuel contingency and 8 million school board flexibility Reserve that the school board
decided to add additional school board and assistance. And funded out of the school board member school Board, Flexibility, Reserve. And that
totals 1.4 million. So 6.6 million is what the flexibility Reserve is in fiscal 26 2 million for the
fuel contingency. And all of that. We have 2 items that are previously identified adjustments to special
education, extended a contract. TWENTY-SIX 0.9 million will support those especially teachers, daily contracts by 30 minutes and that, of course, improves
retention compensating for additional compliance responsibilities. Also, we'd set beginning balance for not this year, but next year, fiscal 27 and 24 million is
what we have available to be able to carry forward is the beginning balance. That those 2 items together total, 50.9 million leaving or remaining
balance at 36.3. 36.3 million represents about one percent of total budget. That is smaller than we've had in previous years due to Adams. That will power task for year.
Ian, like the special and contracts. And, you know, of course we have had improvement in the number of vacancies in turnover throughout fiscal. 25. So the recommended
adjustments for fiscal 26 year. Ian. And now to 36.3 million. The first item is the transfer to the health fund to replenish the health care premium. Stabilization Reserve
one time transfer of 30 million is recommended to increase this reserve, which has been reduced due medical Klein's that are higher than
anticipated and increasing pharmacy claims. Transfer to the construction fund for major maintenance. You may recall that. I think back in
2014, we budgeted 10 million every year at I mean, for maintenance projects. And due to budget cuts that was funded at 6 and a half million with
the promise that every year and we would fund an additional 3.5 million to bring them back to that 10 Million. And so that's what this is for. will help address the backlog of infrastructure
maintenance. Again, the school board Flexibility, Reserve staff assistance. At 1.4 million. and that will fund those those positions. And
then we have 2 other Adams graduation ceremony. We need 0.8 million to support costs for venue. Rental transportation, live stream and other logistical expenditures for graduation
ceremonies across 25 high schools and the other programs and then the automated external defeat and us going botched that word. The 80's.
The To fill braiders. To favor later. If you're related, wrecked and that's 0.6 million. And that's to comply with Virginia Senate Bill 8,
1, 7, SB 817, requiring additional ad units in climate control cabinets at all, athletic venues. Then we get in. We have to carry over the unspent grant funding. We already talked about the
revenue that was reduced because we're carrying it over and that's mostly funds. And then of a couple 100,000 new Grant Awards that we just
became aware of. The other funds represent multi-year programs whose funds flow from year to year with fund balance and stabilization reserves as
required. I don't usually go into those because they are multi year. You also have, you know, the fund statements at the end of the document. for
each time we have 9 funds. Then there's the Supplemental Appropriation resolution. His purpose is to transmit to the county are changes are final changes to fiscal? 25 and which is Mitt your 3rd quarter
and year in combined in the fiscal planning resolution represents the transfers from the operating to the other funds and then the grants developments. Emory provides information about fiscal 25
grants. Here. item is scheduled for action at the regular school board meeting on July 17th. Thank you so much. don't see any I see it.
>> However, I do have a question. Earlier this year we voted in. >> The >> and expenditure out of the school board reserve related
to facility assessments. And I don't see that reflected in the amount that is has been taken from the school board reserve this year. And so I just wanted to make because I
know moving forward that that reserve maybe come extremely important. I just wanted to make sure that that money had been allocated. I know that the intention was if it if it
wasn't necessary to be utilized, that we would put it back in the reserve. I just was hoping that we might be able to speak to that. >> Yes, the school board
flexibility Reserve is not recurring funds. That's budgeted in the budget every year. It is always one-time funds that is replenished at the end of the year. And you're absolutely right. The
item you mentioned was funded, but it was funded at a fiscal. 25 school board, flexibility, Reserve.
>> Got Thank you so much. From microphone Thank you. Thank you. Madam Chair. to and I'm
going trans wanting to have fund. With thought in million dollars you, would you be able to turn the what the amount of funding would next year and to
be sure. >> At 50, going to be 55 million dollars. 5 is at the optimum No, it is not. We'll have to add additional funds to the health and Psr
the premium stabilization reserve in fiscal 26 as well a year. And if we have funds will be able to do that. You know, as you know, we are self-insured, which means
premiums cover air climbs. And kinds go at then if premiums are not at the level that cover those kinds, then it eats into the premiums premium
stabilization Reserve, which is exactly what that I've that fund balances for is to address the volatility that we often see in health care plans
ideally, we would have about. 50, 60 Million. I'm sorry we will have about 55 million this year. But we really need to have about 20 million more.
I mean, I-70 find the is that he out to a number. >> Yes, and that's that's pretty much best practices. OK? Thank you. another question goes
>> And treating spend each billions 347 million dollars. You correct me if I'm wrong at that. 47. Includes bees can be
outstanding encumbered obligations. That was 72. And schools in project. Katie 173 dues, a part of city. 47. Yes.
>> A company that as well as the department critical needs the reserves, the beginning all of that. >> Dry and then leaves 87.
Would you be able to You know, us? He it, meaning 87. You know, where those 87 need to
be in coming from. Can we lies she turns so idea, know, staffing more logistics or utilities or owner of a sense of that. >> Yeah, it's a little bit of
everything, but it is primarily salary and benefits I don't have that level of detail. We didn't give make a pick categories. We doesn't
have to be. I don't I don't know anybody sense dines going into well. >> Particularly 109 item back generally, we are 80 70's coming from.
>> Yes, it is primarily salaries and benefits, though. And it is primarily from teacher accounts teacher. Yes, it's 60,000 of air. 25,000 employees, our teachers and
tell a pic of the put writing, going to We got thank you very much. Thank you so much. Thank
you. >> That's Anderson. It looks like Ms Marins hand is on a So sorry, burden I've got missed
Aaron and then Mystics Thank Back. No worries. >> So just you know, we're in
a unique budget time ends. I'm wondering if you for the superintendent, you know, are we at a point where we need to perhaps think differently, how we provide help we've received
this year end information and perhaps my colleagues at the clerk, if anyone could know of Ms, Burn the top of your head, but is it our practice to not have a work session in between
the presentation and the adoption? And I'm having memories of Ford's past. Talking about this. It's a big
deal. And this time, especially since I don't seem to see. What's been laid out in terms of preparing for any
change in federal funding. So I guess that's a that's a question for the superintendent is, you know, if you can recall that we had a work session in between the presentation of the year and
proposal and the board adoption. What's your thinking given this time knowing that we had the shortfall for a local budget, the federal can be precarious should be doing
things a little bit differently at this time. >> So thank you. Miss Marion and my recollections. Since I've been in Fairfax. That we
have not had a work session on the year and and I see Miss Burton agreeing with that. So I think that probably we haven't even prior to my being in the division. I think you
raise a good point around the federal funding in the state funding and so forth. I don't know. Again, we're talking at your end about one time
dollars and not recurring funds. So I think fundamentally we're going it need to look at it. Our program and staffing
allocations in light of our new paradigm around funding. And I don't know that we can rely on one time funds to
support. new direction. I think these are unique funds and I think we can always count on them. Even this year
there fewer funds. And last. But it cure point, you know, in terms of how we're going to need to cobble together budgets differently. And I think it's certainly more Inc.
You know, a close look over the course of this next fall. >> Great. Well, thank you. And you know, this, of course, goes with that ball. Great work you've been doing. So, you know, if there's a time
when we can expect to hear, you know what knew approach might be, you know, I would interested in that. I think, too. You know, our our chief just talked about how things
compared to this year to last year. >> I I do think we need to have that memorialized here in our public documents, but also so that we can analyze them.
>> And look at the trends and see because you know, again, we're going to need to figure out how to plan better and so that is one thing also that
when we do these year and presentations that, you know, the spread of the what's listed, dogs is very helpful. But can we look at prior years and just like a reminder of, you know what the board has
done, what we've been able to carry over what we've approved. I'm not totally saying let's do that. But those are things that I'm thinking about now at this
time to be more informed and then the last point I had was that we've just got to keep highlighting that we are using our instructional operational dollars to pay for facilities
needs because of woefully underfunded capital funding. And I believe that the 3 million now that's slated for the year-end isn't that in addition to what was it for
the fy 26 budget we approved it is 21 Million. Accurate? preble? For maintenance
projects rights. I want to ask MS we bumped had to get that. >> exact number off the top my head. But there's about 10 million that was approved
as part of the 26 approved budget for major maintenance specifically. And then we have some other things for like equipment and a few other transfers that might get close to the 21 million that you're talking about. The specific
for major maintenance. It was 10. >> Okay. Thank you. And so I mean, the bottom line is, is that we are using the dollars allocated to instruct children to pay for dilapidated
buildings. And I think we really need to, you know, keep talking about that and, you know, our joint task force with the Board of Supervisors, we can begin at any time. And
so that's a topic in. I just want to elevate that. So on. >> Yes, ma'am. do think you raise a good point. I think as our budgets become tighter for
operating. Not utilizing those funds for capital were maintenance. Makes a lot of sense. Mystic's cent. Thank
you. Miss Burden for the presentation. I'm a questions on the adult and community Education fund. And it says the receipts is 8.1 million dollars, which is 1.5 million
or than the revised budget due to decrease intuitions off 1.6 million. And expenditure also sees 1.6 million degrees from
the budget. So I'm not going confuse a second. Even paying 1.6 million. That reason to shun and then 1.6 million degrees in the expenditure
site washes off. >> Mystic's that you're correct. So there was a short fall of 1.5 million in the tuition review. But since they had expenditures of that amount, it practically nets to
0. There was a small ending balance of about $30,000 and that fun. >> A kid that strangers to actually. How the tone or enrollment actually impacts
the. So my question about this as we get it tied to funding losing money and ACE program is its U.S. funded by Fcps fully are. What's the the
collection on? >> It is not fully funded as a stand-alone. We do have operating funds that go into the 8th and regularly. I think we have about a 300,000 match
that we have to provide to the ace fun to provide Sail services to the community. then I think there is a standard annual transfer from
the operating fund into ace for about 600,000 on top of that. So that a million dollars overall that the school operating fund transfers to a savory years, part of the prevent it. That's
not that bad. I was thinking we are funding. We're like 8 million dollar funded, no tuition do should covers campus arrested. Thank you so
>> Miss Sizemore Heizer. Thank you. I appreciate the opportunity to speak to this in. You know, every year, it's really funny. And that have been on the board. I don't think we ever had a work
session on the year-end budget. I think every year the question comes up around that. And it's it's just interesting to here. I do think that, you know, we've got to be careful not to conflate. Ongoing needs
with one-time dollars to because these are just one time dollar one-time funds and from a Kerry of which can change year to years. Well, I do think so. That there and we
talked about this is last year as one when I was budget vice chair became budget chair. We talked about entering these changed budget times. Where our fiscal realities change at
the local level. >> like the state is, you know, there's still issues at the state level and now we have significant uncertainty at the federal level as well, which is something that's very new, I think for the school
system, is this level of uncertainty from the federal we talked about the fact that I think our community has gotten used to, you know, not
worrying as much about school funding and with the changes in the federal. I think that this is an opportunity, not just to monitor what's happening, but to continue that communication with our
community of. There's a lot of stuff going on right of people have a lot of different things that they're focused on. And I think we just need to say, look. These change at the federal level, even though we don't know quite what they are
yet like this may be coming. This is what we're concerned about. Here's what's being said. We've got to continue that education. They keep that information, right? Because we can't wait until it's done and
then we're scrambling. So I guess the question I have is what you know, what are we doing? As I know we're monitoring was happy the federal level. What are we doing to help our allies and our partners, including our
funding partners, go No, you know, here's that what the challenges are that anticipating. I think it's it's good for our For supervisors or state delegation who support public
school. So much to also just have an understanding of some of the additional challenges we see that a potentially coming down the path. >> So I think it's been really
interesting. He's been very limited, formal notification of the circumstances, particularly from the federal side. We are putting together some communications for next
week. And as I mentioned earlier, I'll be sharing more detailed information next week's board meeting. We're taking a look at carryover and whatever options we have to
maintain programming and at least some form. But I agree with you. I think We want to make sure that we communicate clearly and timely and
accurately. And these situations are quite fluid we heard today, in fact about new restrictions on head start and Roman to 84 did that you all.
>> But we have to look at it because we're getting it from the media. The information, right? And not what I would call a a trusted source in terms of this is actually
what's going to happen. So we want to make sure as we put information out that it's accurate that we're thoughtful about how we're going to respond to it. But I take your
point day. It's unique times. >> I often wonder if we need to as you're hearing things from. I see that Mediasource is right that we have some place so we can put on our
website of here. Some of the things we people ask what's happening. What are you worried about anything we need to share that as we're hearing? this what we hear in the media were waiting to hear from the actual, you know,
funding sources themselves, but we're preparing for these things. People want to know. What are caring for and what's the challenge going to Yes, ma'm. So I think that's important to know. And I think also in terms of educating
community on what the onetime carryover that they are. One-time funds. And while we're limited in how we can spend that, I think it's also important to make sure as we're looking it's I know we don't want these operational
funds from major maintenance. We also have to maintain our schools and second that something we need to talk about as well as that to maintain our schools or H fax. We have to dip into this bucket and sometimes one-time funds can be used uniquely for
that because an HVAC, maybe a one time expenditure. So thank you for that presentation. Thank you for the work. Thank you, Mr. Yeah, I'm I'm sure
