School Board to Adopt Budget

The CCPS School Board will vote to adopt its FY2014 Financial Plan, which includes both the Operational and Capital Budgets.

Tuesday, February 26, 2013, at 6:30 PM
in the Public Meeting Room,
10001 Iron Bridge Road, Chesterfield, VA 23831.

Once approved, the budget will be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors for consideration.

The Superintendent will present the school budget to the Supervisors the following afternoon,

Wednesday, February 27, 2013, at 3:00 PM
also in the Public Meeting Room,
10001 Iron Bridge Road, Chesterfield, VA 23831.

At that meeting the Supervisors will vote to advertise the maximum real estate tax rate that can be used to fund County services, including the school budget.  Once advertised, the rate can still be lowered by the BoS at their official budget adoption and rate setting meeting on April 10, 2013, but after this Wednesday the rate cannot be raised, no matter how many people call, email, or attend the public hearing on March 20.

Please contact your Supervisor and ask him/her to support a higher ADVERTISED RATE so that the public can discuss the levels of service they wish to have in Chesterfield County.
