Stafford proposes spending $17 million more on schools, teacher raises

Stafford County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Scott Kizner presented the proposed Fiscal Year 2022 (FY22) budget to the Stafford County School Board on Tuesday, January 26, 2021. The proposed FY22 budget reinforces Stafford County Public Schools unwavering commitment to Equity with Excellence for All students.

“We are projecting approximately 29,700 students in FY22. This proposed budget ensures we are closer to meeting the needs of every single one,” said Kizner. “It also honors the teaching profession and recognizes the value of our teachers whose loyalty must be recognized and appreciated.”

Teaching and Learning is the heart and soul of our daily actions and decisions. More than 75% of the budget is allocated to instruction. This focus provides for the creation of 54 new positions, including 18 teachers, 6 paraprofessionals, 2 online learning coordinators, 2 work-based learning coordinators, and other support staff.
