We know our community wants to have a say in how LCPS allocates its budget to best support student learning and achievement. We are asking for your thoughts on what the School Board might consider as they develop the 2027-2028 School Year (FY28) budget. Our teachers, counselors, principals, school nutrition workers, and bus drivers work to support students throughout the year and are part of the budget that funds school programs and classroom instruction from early childhood through graduation. Our budget also supports facilities and maintenance, staff benefits, technology, and overall operations that make our division thrive.
At a time when we anticipate a slowing rate of revenue growth over the next few years, we are taking a close look at existing spending, identifying where we can achieve better results with different investments, and investing in ways to improve student outcomes. Our students are at the center of this work.
We need our staff and community’s input to learn what is most important to everyone and help inform our next steps. To do that, we are asking everyone to participate in a ThoughtExchange to share their ideas and let us know how they feel about other ideas the community suggests.
Participate in the ThoughtExchange and return anytime before September 15 to rate new ideas. You can also visit the LCPS ThoughtExchange page.
This school year, LCPS has further enhanced our commitment to digital safety. In addition to our digital citizenship classes, Lightspeed, Gaggle, and Safe2Talk, we have partnered with Safer Schools Together (SST) to maintain awareness of publicly available concerning or potentially threatening online behavior. This awareness will allow us to provide informed interventions and appropriate support. Read full details on LCPS.org.
The School Board would like to receive some early feedback from parents, staff and community on the programs, investments, and needs to consider for the budget development process for the 2027-2028 School Year (FY28) with the goal of improving student outcomes. Please share your ideas and perspectives through ThoughtExchange, and return anytime before September 15 to rate new ideas. You can also find it at www.lcps.org/thoughtexchange.
Reminder: Please take time to review the updated Student Dress Code Policy 8270 with your student and clarify expectations for required, permitted and prohibited attire. The updates take effect on the first day of school.
