Superintendent’s Message

It is with great pleasure that I present to you the Warren County Public Schools’ Proposed Budget. This pro-posal is based upon current information from the Virginia Department of Education and the Commonwealth of Virginia’s legislative and executive bodies. The budget proposal represents the current and future needs of the division and is based on priorities established by the school board. It details what funds are needed and explains how those funds will be expended.

The proposed budget is formed with some uncertainties due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The 2020-2021 school year continues to be a challenging year. As we face uncertainties on a daily basis, it is important to note that the COVID-19 pandemic will have lingering effects on the 2021-2022 school year. However, WCPS will continue to focus on student, staff, and community needs as we plan for the upcoming year.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the number of students enrolled in the county. The loss of students would typically result in a loss of revenue but all three budget proposals present no loss of funding for schools based on the loss of enrollment experienced across the Commonwealth. The proposed budget also focuses on the individuals that make WCPS the system that it is today. The proposed budget directly ad-dresses our continued focus on ensuring that WCPS is competitive with salary and benefits. A focus has been placed on ensuring steps and years of experience are aligned for all employees on all salary scales. Several salary scales required additional adjustments.

This document outlines the organization and what guides the budget process. It is followed by a revenue proposal from each of the major funding sources. An expenditure budget is next and outlines priorities of the school division. A capital improvements section has been added to reflect the needs of the division. Finally, all salary scales have been added.

I look forward to what the 2021-2022 school year will bring for our community. I also look forward to work-ing with the school board, board of supervisors, and the school community as we continue to build upon this strong foundation.

Respectfully,

Chris Ballenger, Ed.D.

Superintendent

Virginia's public schools are financed through a combination of state, local and federal funds. The

private sector also contributes through partnerships with schools and school divisions. The appor-

tionment of the state funds for public education is the responsibility of the General Assembly,

through the Appropriations Act. General fund appropriations serve as the mainstay of state sup-

port for the commonwealth's public schools, augmented by retail sales and use of tax revenues,

state lottery proceeds, and other sources. Counties, cities and towns comprising school divisions

also support public education by providing the locality's share to maintain an educational program

meeting the commonwealth's Standards of Quality. While public education is primarily a state and

local responsibility, the federal government provides assistance to state and local education agen-

cies in support of specific federal initiatives and mandates.

What is a budget? A budget is a document which sets forth a financial plan for the achievement of

the goals and objectives of the school division for the upcoming year. It is a planning document,

management document, accountability document and the link between fiscal resources and a

school board's desire to accomplish policy objectives. Our budget is adopted by the Warren County

School Board each year and submitted to the Warren County Board of Supervisors. The budget co-

vers the fiscal year, July 1 through June 30th of the following calendar year.

Fund Title Description Funding

General Fund Primary operating fund for the division. Funds used for all main

functions of operations, including:

• Instruction

• Administration

• Pupil Transportation

• Operations and Maintenance

Local (county), state, federal, and other

sources. Vast majority of funding comes

from local and state sources.

School Nutrition

Self-sustaining fund that identifies its own revenue sources sepa-

rate from the General Fund and builds its expenditure budget

accordingly for the purpose of providing cafeteria and nutrition

services for the division.

Lunch/breakfast sales, state, federal, and

other sources.

Textbook Fund Fund specifically for the purchase of textbooks. Adopted on a

staggered cycle so there are “on” years with significant purchases

and “off” years with fewer purchases.

State and local sources on a staggered

schedule.

Capital Fund Fund specifically for the purchase and acquisition of large capital

assets and/or major building repairs. Items purchased from this

fund generally exceed $100,000 in total cost and have an esti-

mated useful life greater than 5 years.

or year-end surplus carryover from school

funds per arrangement with the county

Budget

Warren County Public Schools receives funding from three main funding sources: state, local, and

federal. Other funds generated from secondary sources provide additional revenue streams for the

division.

STATE: Warren County Public Schools receives a majority of funds needed to operate from the

state. The state funds local school divisions through a funding formula developed under the state’s

Standards of Quality (SOQ). These payments are derived by multiplying a per-pupil amount by the

division's projected Average Daily Membership. SOQ funds require that a matching payment, called

the Required Local Effort, be provided by the locality. Also included in these funds are sales tax

revenue returned to the school division based on actual sales tax collections in Virginia. The state

provides additional funds for specific programs through categorical funding and lottery proceeds

funding. Funding for lottery funded programs is adjusted according to the amount of lottery funds

collected. Lottery funds are dispersed only in the second half of the fiscal year, January through

June.

LOCAL: Warren County Public Schools receives 45% of revenue from the county. Warren County

provides funding for the operation of the school system and funding for capital improvement pro-

jects. Our locality has and continues to be a wonderful partner by providing the funding needed.

FEDERAL: Most federal funds are received through grant programs and are subject to very specific

and targeted rules concerning how funds may be used. The three major programs which serve the

entire school division are: Title I, which supplements educational opportunities for children who

live in high poverty areas and are often most at risk of failing to meet the state's performance stand-

ards; Title VI, which is used to provide special education services; and the school nutrition program.

Many smaller grants provide various services such as after school programs, support for career and

technical education, and English as a Second Language (ESL).

MISCELLANEOUS: Miscellaneous revenue mainly comes from fees collected for services provided

by the school division. It includes fees for the use of facilities by community members and reim-

bursements for services such as vehicle repair, custodial services, and maintenance of HVAC and

computer systems provided by the school division to the county.

12

This proposed budget is built upon an

Average Daily Membership (ADM) of

4,964 students. This represents a re-

duction in the number of students

due primarily to the COVID-19 pan-

demic. WCPS saw a reduction of 208

students from the FY21 budget. To

help school divisions absorb the loss

of possible revenue, all three current

budget bills include no loss funding

made available to schools in FY22.

State Revenue: $32,038,859 State revenue represents 50% of the school division’s overall budget. Governor Northam released the proposed governor's budget on December 16, 2020. In his proposal, Warren County Public Schools is scheduled to receive an additional $1,336,410 in new revenue over the previous year. The division will notice a decrease in SOQ funded positions when compared to the FY21 budget. How-ever, the division will receive an increase in funding through Incentive Programs, Categorical Pro-grams, Lottery Funded Programs, and other state programs when compared to the FY21 budget. Local Revenue: $28,753,559 Warren County Public Schools relies heavily on revenue received from Warren County residents through appropriations from the Warren County Board of Supervisors. The Warren County Board of Supervisors has been one of the driving forces that has helped to shape our educational system. The board continues to be great partners. Its support with providing funds for teacher raises in FY21 and its continued support to update facilities has enabled Warren County Public Schools to be a model in the region and across the commonwealth. The FY22 budget will require an additional $1,797,236, an increase of 6.7% over the FY21 budget.

17

Federal Revenue: $2,658,522 Federal revenue is typically received through grant programs that are targeted towards certain stu-dent populations or specific programs. The guidelines for these programs determine how funds can be expended. Warren County Public Schools receives $2,658,522 in total federal funding. Addition-al federal funds were made available to the school system in FY21 due to the continued COVID-19 pandemic. The division received an additional $5,080,183.56 in one-time federal funding to help schools address needs and provide supplies for the reopening of schools during the COVID-19 pan-demic.

Expenditure Budget

Instruction (61000): $49,008,120 Instruction costs include all expenditures related to compensation, benefits, materials, supplies, and other related instructional costs. This budget proposal represents the cost to update salary scales and steps for all positions except school administrators. Last year, teacher salaries were adjusted to be competitive regionally. Other scales were left to be addressed in the FY22 budget. This budget proposal includes a 2% salary increase and a step raise adjustment to the teacher scale. It also updates and adjusts steps for instructional assistants, school administrative assistants, head secretary, secretary, therapist, and speech positions. Administrator scales were not adjusted but individuals were moved to the step that was consistent with their years of experience in an ad-ministrative role. This represents a cost to the division of $2,557,620 for the FY22 school year. The division also has the need to ad-dress other instructional areas. Warren County Public Schools need the follow-ing positions at a cost of $469,590.

English Language Teacher - 1

Gifted and Talented Teacher -2

Criminal Justice Teacher -.5

History Teacher - 1

Special Education Assistant - 1

Sign Language Interpreter - 1

The English language teacher will help the school division to ensure that it meets Department of Justice standards for time with English language learners. The two gifted and talented teachers will be used to install a gifted program at all five elementary schools. This pro-gram will provide enrichment opportunities for students that are identified as gifted and talent-ed. The half time criminal justice teacher will allow the division to initiate a new career program for high school students. The history teacher will be split between both high schools which will give each a full-time history teacher. The special education assistant will help to support the growing need of our special education population. The sign language interpreter is needed to support cur-rent students and to meeting educational guidelines and standards. The division continues to evaluate yearly the need to fill, reallocate, reassign, or to absorb certain po-sitions. For the FY22 school year, Warren County Public Schools will reallocate the following posi-tions to help offset costs related to new positions needed to address instructional needs. Total of re-allocated funds for the FY22 school year are $236,250.

Social & Emotional Coach - $70,000

Gifted/Talented Coordinator - $104,000

Remediation Teacher - $62,250 The total new instructional cost to the division will be $2,790,960.

21

Administration, Attendance, and Health (62000): $2,836,279 Expenditures from this category are used for paying salaries and fringe benefits for administrative personnel (including central office staff, support staff, nurses, social workers, and psychologists), providing materials and supplies for administrative staff, and paying costs of administrative ser-vices. This budget proposal represents the cost to update salary scales for all related positions except for social workers, psychologists, and administra-tors. The administrative assistant, secretary, nurse, and level 1 specialist scales were adjusted to be com-petitive regionally and employees were placed on the step that corresponds to their years of experience in a related position. The cost to update salary scales and align steps is $300,182. Social worker, psychologist, and administrator scales were not adjusted but em-ployees were moved to a step that corresponds with their years of experience in a comparative role. The cost to the division is $128,418. Transportation (63000): $2,923,802 Transportation costs are associated with transporting students to and from school and school-related activi-ties. This category includes salaries and fringe benefits for bus drivers and mechanics, transporta-tion maintenance and repairs (including fuel, oil, and tires), and bus replacement costs. This budget proposal represents the cost associated with updating the administrative assistant, auto-motive specialist and transportation specialist scales and steps. Transportation costs also include updating years of experience and steps for bus drivers and administrators. The division's cost to up-date salary scales and align steps is $157,803. The division would like to add two activity driver positions that will not cause an increase to the overall budget due to restructuring and reallocating vacant positions. Activity drivers will be used to transport students home after school related activities. This will help to ensure that all students have an opportunity to participate in after school activities and that trans-portation is not a barrier. Activity driver - 2

22

Operations and Maintenance (64000): $6,627,383 Operations and maintenance costs are associated with activities that keep the physical plant open, comfortable, and safe for use. This includes keeping the facilities and equipment in effective work-ing condition. Other costs include salaries and fringe benefits for maintenance staff, providing cus-todial and maintenance supplies for all schools, and small renovations or building projects. The de-partment maintains 11 school buildings, 3 administrative buildings, and the HVAC systems for Warren County Administration. The total area maintained is approximately 1,168,615 square feet. See Appendix A for additional information on the school facilities. The department has 14 full-time employees with expertise in many fields. Staff monitors key equipment 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and personnel are on call to respond to any emergency. This budget proposal includes a $100,000 increase in the maintenance budget to help move the divi-sion from its current 60% unscheduled maintenance calls to a goal of 60% preventative maintenance program. It also includes a $91,790 increase due to updating the salary scales and/or steps for ad-ministrative assistant, maintenance journeymen, maintenance, maintenance foreman positions, and administration. The custodial staff plays a large role in the daily operation of the school system. To ensure that we have a full staff, it was determined that custodial salaries needed to be competitive to help attract quality applicants. The service provider and the division agreed upon a 1.5% increase totaling $30,776 for the FY22 budget year. Debt Service (67000): $614,253 Debt service payment including principal and interest. Technology (68000): $1,949,722 All technology-related expenditures include paying salaries and fringe benefits for technology spe-cialists and instructional technology resource teachers, providing technology supplies and services, and computer equipment replacement costs. This budget proposal includes updating salary scales and steps for system technicians salary and administration at a cost of $136,520. Additionally, the division expanded the bandwidth of the inter-net from 3 GB to 10 GB to provide students and staff the bandwidth needed for virtual instruction due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The school system utilizes Google Suite as the foundation for our delivery system. The cost associated with both additions is $27,000. Contingency (69000): $150,859 The contingency funds are reserved for unanticipated expenditures. This may include teaching po-sitions, unexpected repairs, and loss of revenue due to the uncertainty of the effects that the COVID-19 pandemic may have on the FY22 school year. Total of All Proposed FY2022 Operating Fund Expenditures: $64,110,418 Warren County Public Schools entered into an agreement with Aetna for health, dental, and vi-sion insurance beginning February 1, 2021. It was recognized this agreement would provide financial savings over the next 20 months. Opportunities to enhance the plans and make adjustments to premiums for the up-coming plan year are currently being explored. These enhancements and adjustments will be presented to the Board for approval in the Spring.

Facilities (66000): $3,085,533.65 The Coronavirus Response Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSA) are federal funds that were identified to support schools in prepara-tion and mitigation of the COVID-19 pandem-ic. The CRRSA funds must be used by 2023. The division would like to use these funds to replace the antiquated HVAC system at Leslie Fox Keyser Elementary School. The estimated total cost to re-place the entire system is $6,000,000. The $3,085,533.65 will only cover half of the entire project and support from the Warren County Board of Supervisors will be needed to ensure completion. The Warren County Public Schools’ Capital Asset Plan is a preventive maintenance and asset re-placement program designed to maintain or replace equipment and major systems and to keep them in optimal condition. Preventative maintenance is performed on a planned schedule while the equipment and systems are still operating. Preventative maintenance helps assets reach or extend their normal useful life and reduce the chances of unscheduled repairs or failures. Asset replacement occurs when the equipment or systems are no longer operational, parts are no longer available, or repairs are not cost feasible.
