FCPS superintendent zeroes in on staff pay and other ‘essentials’ in proposed $4.1B budget
Fairfax County Public Schools leaders say the proposed $4.1 billion fiscal year 2027 budget presented Jan. 22 by Superintendent Michelle Reid is fiscally responsible and worthy of full support by the Board of Supervisors.
School Board Chair Sandy Anderson termed it a “nothing-fancy” package that fits the economic times.
“This just keeps us going the way we’re going,” said Anderson, who represents Springfield District on the School Board.
Reid and School Board members last year saw the proposed fiscal year 2026 schools budget criticized as excessive by county supervisors, with recriminations on both sides.
Supervisors did not provide all the funds requested, leading school leaders to make last-minute cuts, including to staff raises promised in recently approved labor contracts. In the aftermath, County Executive Bryan Hill pressed Reid to propose a “budget of reality” for the upcoming FY 2027.

The $4.1 billion proposal centers on essentials, with $178 million aimed at pay. County support remains pivotal, and a $22 million shortfall is in focus if new revenue lags.
