💨 Abstract

Fairfax County teachers will receive a 6% raise instead of the initially agreed 7% due to a $150 million budget shortfall from the county. To fund the raises, Superintendent Michelle Reid proposed cuts including 275 fewer staff positions (save $33.3 million), delaying new social studies materials (save $15.3 million), reducing central office staff (save $7.5 million), restricting travel for professional development, and reducing electric bus funding.
