FY20 Highlights – 3% Raise
With an $18.5 million increase in funding from the Mayor and City Council last budget season, RPS was able to provide a 3% raise for teachers and all other staff and absorb rising healthcare costs so employees experienced no increase.

FY21 Highlights – 3% Raise
Our FY21 proposal includes a 3% raise for teachers and all support staff. Of note, the Governor’s proposed budget does not include a teacher raise for FY21 – only one for FY22. This means RPS would bear the full cost of the raise in FY21.

FY21 Operating Budget Bottom Line
At this time, we anticipate roughly $18.5 million in additional General Fund revenue next year. This assumes that the Governor’s Budget is enacted as is, and that the City of Richmond maintains our FY20 funding level (but does not provide any increase).
Richmond Public Schools | January 21, 2020
Our needs-based Operating Budget proposal requires an additional $39.6 million in revenue next year.
Our projected shortfall is $21.1 million. This is the amount we are recommending for our request to the City of Richmond.

Technical Notes
Richmond Public Schools | January 21, 2020
FY21 Superintendent’s Budget: Proposal to the Richmond City School Board
21
Operating Budget vs. Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Budget
Operating BudgetOur Operating Budget covers all the day-to-day costs associated with running the school division: teacher salaries, curricular materials, transportation, and so on.
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) BudgetOur CIP budget covers facility expenses that extend the life of our buildings: everything from new HVAC systems to new school construction. Smaller maintenance expenses (e.g., replacing light bulbs or bathroom sinks) are not covered by the CIP budget; they are in the Operating Budget.
This document outlines the Administration’s proposal for both the FY21 Operating Budget and the FY21 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Budget.

General Fund vs. Special Revenue Funds
FY20 General Fund Prior Year’s Fund Balance -$
City Revenue 175,193,143$
State Revenue 134,522,121$
Federal Revenue 630,000$
Other 868,496$
Total General Fund 311,213,760$
FY20 Special Revenue FundsHead Start and Early Head Start 9,433,757$
Title I/II/III/IV 21,652,586$

Exceptional Education 13,062,902$
Federal Free/Reduced-Price Lunch Program 18,974,351$
Other 14,851,580$
Total Special Revenue Funds 87,242,491$
FY20 Total Revenue 398,456,251$
This proposal only speaks to the General Fund portion of our Operating Budget – nearly 80% of the total. We will discuss Special Revenue Funds (e.g., Head Start and Title Funds) – the remaining 20% – when we approve our major federal grants later in the year. It is important to note that Special Revenue Funds are largely formula-driven, meaning they are far less discretionary than the General Fund.
Richmond Public Schools | January 21, 2020
This budget proposal focuses on the General Fund portion of our Operating Budget.

Equity and “High Priority” Schools
We created this budget with equity squarely in mind. Towards that end, there are frequent references to “High Priority” schools, by which we mean schools where 60% or more of its students are coded by the VDOE as “disadvantaged.” See below for those schools.
