Why is WCPSS asking for increased funding?
To determine the amount of funding to request from Wake County, the Leadership Team members submitted business cases for fluctuations in human and financial resources needed to support the strategic plans for the next three years. They determined which costs and savings could occur from state, federal, and categorical resources first. We determined how much fund balance could be reinvested in the budget based on the fund balance board policy. The difference became new dollars that would be requested from the county. The business cases identify costs and savings by funding source. As a result of the process, there is a net increase in funding the superintendent recommends the Board of Education requests from the Wake County Commissioners.
