Original | Stafford schools budget proposes $57 million spending increase

It’s the start of budget season, and Stafford County Schools is talking about its needs.

Division Superintendent Dr. Scott Kizner presented his annual budget plan to the School Board. It calls for a $57 million increase in spending over the previous year. This would be used to pay for new counselors, English and foreign language teachers at middle schools, as well as school maintenance.

The new teachers would be hired to address the teacher turnover rate in the county, which sits at about 15%. Most teachers leave for higher-paying jobs in school divisions like Prince William, Spotsylvania, and Fairfax counties, respectively.
