This includes advocating for our students,families, and staff with policymakers. Each year, the General Assembly considers numerous issues of importance to students and to the school employees who deliver the promise of a high-quality public education. The Priorities presented here are the Board's primary areas of legislative focus and advocacy. RCPS also publishes Position Papers that provide local context and recommendations on select topics. We urge legislators to contact the School Board or Superintendent whenever local data and insight may inform efforts in Richmond. • Local Control—Teaching and learning are complex processes. Public education is a national priority and a state responsibility, but it is ultimately a local function. The Roanoke City School Board urges elected representatives to facilitate innovation and responsiveness to unique community needs by supporting local School Board authority. • School Safety& Security—Threats against schools are terrifying for communities and require the coordinated response of school leaders and law enforcement to rapidly determine the credibility of any threats. Because most threats are made by electronic means, Internet Companies doing business in Virginia must be responsive to law enforcement to reduce the trauma of fear and the negative impact of lost instructional time when investigations are unnecessarily delayed waiting for records. • Commitment to Serving All Students— RCPS' core beliefs include putting students first, celebrating diversity,valuing high-quality instruction, and valuing our community. RCPS urges legislators to share in this commitment to improving outcomes for all students, understanding the diverse families that make up our community, and the efforts necessary to optimize individual student's educational experience. • Governance and Budget—RCPS concurs with concurs with one of the primary findings of the JLARC Report on Virginia's K-12 Funding Formula, regarding the Local Composite Index (LCI)that, "despite being 50 years old, LCI formula remains a reasonable measure of local ability to pay." Further, RCPS strongly supports many JLARC recommendations, specifically: 1) elimination of the support staff cap on positions; 2) calculation of salary and other cost assumptions using the division average rather than the linear weighted average; and 3) Adjust SOQ formula to remove cap on non-personnel costs assumptions to account for facility staff costs. • Employee Compensation—RCPS appreciates the efforts of the General Assembly this biennium to persist in making necessary investments in K-12 employee compensation this biennium. However, the harsh reality is that Roanoke City teachers strarting out in the sion today have related to the teach e0 less r shorbuyig agenbut power than new teachers did 15 yearsgo There are many factors compensation remains chief among them. • Assessment&Accountability Modernization—The two-year flexibility on "through year growth assessments" enacted by the 2024 General Assembly was most appreciated and creates a window of opportunity. RCPS staff are available to assist and inform needed modernization of Assessment in the Commonwealth and legislative efforts to refine ongoing efforts to revise the Accountability system. 8/29/2024 • • Roanoke: .

While developing the 2024-25 budget, a primary concern was our desire to keep resources implemented with pandemic-relief grant funds that provide more individualized instruction and support to students. Examples include: Positions — Pasition, Positions Position Positions Behavior Specialist 2 School Social Worker 5 Educational Diagnostician 2 Special Education 9 English Learner Teacher 2 Class-size reduction teachers 31 Grant Accounting 0.5 Testing Coordination 1 HR Teacher Residency 2 Technology Security 2 School Counselors 5 Transition Specialist 1 Hazel Health — Online mental and physical health resource 12 6 8/29/2024 Expenditure Priorities Appropriate Staffing Levels and Employee Support Recruiting and retaining staff is a significant challenge. RCPS started the year with 12 teacher vacancies. (Note that RCPS had to add 14 new classroom positions due to enrollment at the secondary level and enrollment of English learner(EL)students and associated Standards of Quality staffing requirements.) • Keeping Employee Compensation Competitive. RCPS gave an average 3.5% raise across all positions for 2024-25. • We offer generous health benefits. During budget development, the projected year-over-year increase for 2025 was 8.5%. We learned last week that is likely going to be closer to 12.4%. • Added part-time cafeteria aide positions at all elementary and middle schools so teachers can have an unencumbered lunch time. 13 Expenditure Priorities Appropriate Staffing Levels and Employee Support RCPS opened the school year with the following staff: Classroom Teachers 1,165 Classified Staff 748 Other Professional Staff 251 Administrators 138 Total RCPS Staff 2,302 Contracted Staff(bus drivers, nurses, 409 food services staff, crossing guards)* TOTAL EMPLOYEES SERVING RCPS 2,711 *Part-time/temporary staff such as substitute teachers are not included in this count. 14 7 8/29/2024 Expenditure Priorities Expenditure Object Code Group 24-25 Expenditure Percentage of Budget Total Budget Personnel $144,905,171 47.9% 69.8% Fringe Benefits $66,179,182 21.9% Includes contract Contracted Services $48,263,613 1 16.0% employees such as bus drivers.. — 794,746 Internal Services $131,098 0.1% food service w Other Charges* $10, 3.6% guardsorkers..andcrossing school nurses Materials and Supplies $10,388,330 3.4% Payment for Debt Service 1 $11,833,528 3.9% Capital Outlay $9,734,780 3.2% TOTAL $302,230,448 100% "Examples of Other Charges include insurance. postage,equipment and facility rentals, telecommunications and professional development/travel. 15 2024-25 Expenditures Comparison by Category 2024-25 Budget by Strategic Pathway and Goal-All Funds Pathway 1.Early Literacy unginging Pathway 2,Academics _. ... ......

We anticipate positions previously funded out of IDEA Federal grant funding, but now being moved to the General Fund because the grant amount has not increased on pace with inflation and personnel costs,to be higher than anticipated. We are working to analyze this impact and whether any budgetary adjustments will be necessary. • Added personnel needs based on student enrollment—class size at one elementary school requires an additional teacher at 4th grade. We will continue to analyze this,as enrollment tends to continue to change over the first weeks of school. • The state changed the staffing ratios for English Learner students in a way that could potentially require 26 additional teachers. This drastic amount of change has been put on hold by the state, but RCPS still needed to add seven more EL teachers this year based on enrollment. We will likely continue needing additional EL staffing to meet state standards in future years. • Physical capacity as addressed in the Capital Projects Update. 18 9 8/29/2024 `max Y+ • Roanoke City PUBOOLS LIC • SCH The full school division budget can be accessed online at https://www.rcps.info/cs/ IibNA50010994/Centricity/Domain/84/FY20 25%20Budget%20Final.pdf • Thank You !
