Greensville County Public Schools present FY2025–26 budget, ask local governments for roughly $10.9 million
Summary
The school division presented its FY2025–26 proposed budget April 14, citing state funding just under $23 million and a local funding request near $10.9 million; a public hearing produced no speakers and the board did not adopt the budget at the meeting.
The Greensville County Public Schools administration presented its proposed fiscal year 2025–26 budget to the school board on April 14, outlining revenue assumptions and asking city and county officials for local contributions totaling roughly $10.9 million.
The presenter told the board the division used the governor’s budget as the working baseline. “The state funding is just under $23,000,000,” the budget presenter said, and noted federal funding and school nutrition projections at $1,800,000 each. The presenter explained construction funds have been exhausted, which reduced state-directed construction revenue compared with the prior year.
Administration described spending priorities and projections: instruction comprises the largest share of the budget (presenters said about 71 percent of total spending), operations roughly 20 percent, and the remainder for administration, debt service and technology. The presenters said the governor’s proposal includes a 3 percent salary increase for positions funded under the Standards of Quality (SOQ) and that the division is asking localities to meet maintenance‑of‑effort obligations so the district can provide the 3 percent increase across the board.
Board members heard enrollment and ADM (average daily membership) projections and a breakdown of the local ask: presenters cited figures of $10,898,000 and $10,898,105 in different places during the presentation; the administration characterized the combined city-and-county request as approximately $10.9 million.
The board opened a public hearing on the proposed budget and invited attendees to speak for up to three minutes. No member of the public came forward, and the board closed the hearing without taking a final vote on the budget at the April meeting. The administration said it is monitoring federal program guidance and is coordinating with the Virginia Department of Education on any potential changes to federal funding.
What happens next: administration said it will share local budget work‑session timing with the board (the transcript noted a county supervisors work session scheduled the next day) and return with any updates. The school board did not adopt the FY2025–26 budget at the April 14 meeting; it received the presentation and held a public hearing.
