Agenda Item Summary: According to the FY 2020 Rules of Engagement, Add/Delete items receiving “a minimum of two co-sponsors [are] to be considered with the Superintendent’s recommended adjustments.” All items meeting this threshold are listed below as either a (1) Superintendent’s Recommended Adjustment or (2) Item Considered but Not Recommended for Adjustment. In addition, there were four technical adjustments necessary to correct the budget.
Background: ACPS is moving forward in our efforts to realize the mission and vision established in the ACPS 2020 strategic plan, and to prepare every student to have the skills necessary to be successful in the 21st century. We are guided by a commitment to achieving academic excellence, where every school is high performing and every student succeeds. The adoption of the Combined-Funds Budget is an annual commitment to programs and activities for Alexandria City Public Schools.

On Thursday, January 10, 2019, the Superintendent proposed the FY 2020 Combined-Funds Budget for School Board consideration. This was followed by a series of work sessions, public hearings and staff responses to School Board questions.

On February 5, School Board Members submitted their Add/Delete proposals. On February 11, Members co-sponsored the Add/Deletes of other Board Members. The attached FY 2020 Proposed Combined-Funds Budget Add/Delete Summary lists each recommended addition or deletion and the number of co-sponsors that each recommendation received. The Superintendent considered the Add/Deletes and Co-Sponsorships in his Superintendent’s Adjusted Proposed Budget.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the School Board considers the changes included in the Superintendent’s Adjusted Proposed Budget throughout the Board’s Add-Delete process.
