Roanoke County Public Schools presented its proposed fiscal year 2026–27 budget to the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors on April 28. The district outlined a $13,700,000 increase over the previous year, bringing total proposed spending to $301,000,000.
The briefing was delivered as the board convened its 2:00 p.m. session. The presentation provided high-level figures for revenues and expenditures; specific program-level allocations and proposed tax or funding changes were not detailed in the recap.
The school budget presentation occurred alongside the county's broader budget process: the board also held a public hearing that same day on the proposed county operating budget and capital improvement program. The April 28 recap did not report a formal vote on the school budget during the briefing.
Next steps for the school budget were not specified in the recap. The county's public hearing on the operating budget and CIP was listed on the same agenda, indicating the budget will proceed through the county's standard review and adoption process.
