Background: ACPS is moving forward in our efforts to realize the mission and vision established in ACPS 2025 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 providing equitable access to opportunities, and 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 4, 2024, the Superintendent proposed the FY 2025 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 January 31, 2024, School Board Members submitted their Add/Delete proposals. By February 5, 2024 Members will co-sponsor the Add/Deletes of other Board Members. On February 8, 2024, the first Add/Delete work session is scheduled to discuss and consider School Board Members’ submitted and co-sponsored proposals for adjustment to the Superintendent’s proposed budget.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the School Board review and discuss the FY 2025 Combined Funds Add Delete - Co-Sponsorship information at the first Add/Delete Work Session.
