FCPS lost about 11,000 students during the pandemic, and that loss lowers states funding. We re on an all-out campaign across our school system to bring our families back, Brabrand said.
While enrollment numbers are down, the superintendent is optimistic that enrollment numbers will return to pre-pandemic levels by the fall.
Brabrand says less funding could mean larger class sizes and cutting teacher positions. This budget already cuts more than 33 reserve staff members, but it adds 50 new positions for teachers of English language learners and 18 new social workers and psychologists.
Teachers will also get a 2% pay raise. It s not enough, but it s going to lay the foundation for more in the upcoming years and we re grateful for everything that our teachers and staff have done, Braband said.
