Funding
Charlottesville City Council (2020-2021) Adopted Budget for FY 2021
In FY2020, CCS requested funding from the City Council to hire six (6) gifted certification teachers for grades K-6. The cost to finance these new fulltime positions was $468K. There were two (2) sources (Strategic Initiatives Fund-$156K; City-Wide Reserve Fund-$312K) used to fund this mid-year expenditure. In its revised budget for FY21, the CCS requested $1.3M in funding to address these positions and other expenditures. This would provide CCS with $58.7M of its $88.8M total budget for FY21. These additional funds will come from the City reserve fund and GF. This will reduce the city's reserve fund from $7.9M to $6.6M.
- The Budget Guidelines state that the schools receive a target amount that equates to 40% of new real estate and personal property tax revenue. Due to COVID -19, the FY 21 Budget reflects level funding with the City’s total FY20 contribution.[1]
City Council's Adopted Budget for FY 2019-2020
Included in the City Council's Adopted Budget for FY 2019-2020, City Schools will receive a local contribution of $57,366,623. In addition, City Schools will receive $1.25 million a year in an unallocated fund that the schools can use for priority capital improvement initiatives of their choice, over $1.9 million for general capital improvement dollars and HVAC replacement funds a year and $3 million in pre-construction funds for the schools reconfiguration project.
Future funding concerns
Faced with uncertainty over state funding, some members of the School Board began raising the issue in the spring of 2012 of creating a public education foundation to raise money to help pay for a portion of the school system. Such a system would be built on the efforts of the Public Education Fund of Charlottesville-Albemarle. [2]
In 2009, MGT of America conducted a review of the system.
Capacity issues
A study by VMDO commissioned by the school board in 2017 revealed that five of the six elementary schools are over their functional capacity, meaning they are above 85 percent of their maximum capacity. In the 2000's, the school system was considering shuttering a school but planning may soon get underway for a new school. [3]
Reconfiguration
This article documents a current event. Information may change rapidly as the event progresses. |
The system is currently seeking to reconfigure the system to add 6th grade to Buford, move 5th grade to elementary schools, and turn Walker into an early childhood education center. [4]
Background
Since 1988, the City of Charlottesville's school system has maintained two separate schools for grades 5-6 and 7-8 for the students between elementary and high school.
In May 2008, the school system began an efficiency study as part of an agreement with the Virginia Department of Planning and Budget. The firm MGT of America was hired to conduct a review to identify best practices. The state paid for 75 percent of the review. The report was presented to the School Board on January 8, 2009 with five options.
- Leave City school division as is: 6 elementary schools (pK-4), 1 upper elementary (5-6), 1 middle school (7-8), 1 high school (9-12)
- Close 1 elementary school
- 6 elementary schools (pK-5), 2 middle schools (6-8), 1 high school (9-12)
- 6 elementary schools (pK-5), 1 middle school (6-8), 1 high school (9-12)
- Other reconfiguration possibilities
Options 1 and 4 were pursued. [5]
On October 21, 2010, the School Board voted unanimously on Option 4 to proceed with study of a single middle school housing grades 6-8 at either the Walker Upper Elementary School or Buford Middle School complex. Grade 5 would return to existing elementary schools.[6] [7]
At the time, the hope was that grade reconfiguration changes would occur after the 2011-12 school year and that the major renovation projects were expected to cost around $36 million. This did not come to pass. [8]
In February 2011, the Charlottesville School Board decided to create a consolidated middle school at Buford Middle School by 2015. [citation needed] Walker would be refurbished for preschool, adult education, and central office staffing needs. [9]
However, the plan stalled but was reexamined later in the decade.
In December 2019, the city issued a request of proposals for a firm to come up with a new plan for how to proceed due on January 30, 2020. [10]
In 2021, VMDO was awarded a $1.47 million contract for design services for the reconfiguration and renovation of Buford Middle School and Walker Upper Elementary School. [11]
On May 21, 2021, they presented six concepts to the School Board at a retreat held in Short Pump. [4]
Superintendent
The current division superintendent of Charlottesville City Schools is Dr. Rosa Atkins. The Board of Education ratified the appointment by the Charlottesville City School Board and appointed Ms. Rosa S. Atkins as the division superintendent of Charlottesville City Schools on February 15, 2006. [12] Atkins is retiring at the end of the 2020-2021 academic year. [citation needed]
