Wow. CCA is zooming their meeting!
Many years ago in a CCAC meeting, a gentleman stood up and asked boldly, “I don’t have any kids in Crozet schools! My taxes should not go to the schools!”
Sir, we’re trying to have a society here.
We all benefit from good schools, and as we’re finding more an more, an educated populace can make better decisions. Our schools matter. My kids have graduated from Albemarle County schools, and I recognize the value of high quality schools and education – it’s not a hard thing to do.
Learn more about the Albemarle County budget here. And here, at InfoCville.
From the school board’s press release:
Last night, the Albemarle County School Board adopted a fiscal year 2027 school fund operating budget of $308,067,157. This budget supports the operation of Albemarle County Public Schools (ACPS) from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027.
Central to this year’s budget was the school board’s commitment to attract and retain highly skilled teachers and staff. “The quality of public education is tied directly to the quality of the teachers and staff that a school division is able to hire,” said Rebecca Berlin, school board chair. More than half of the $20.7 million increase in recurring revenues was dedicated to compensation increases ($7.8 million) and improved working conditions ($4.0 million).

Despite my bruised feeling about not being a way to connect in Crozet, I’ll still post. 🙂
“Sir, we’re trying to have a society here.” That is very misleading since we already have a society here that has been upturned because of the flood of dis-similar people moving here. Spending vast amounts of money does not guarantee any improvement either. Every penny of taxpayer money spent on the school system should have to be justified just like anything else. They need more money to hire “high quality staff”. WTF, they been saying that for years, when are they actually going to do it? And, what have they been hiring? This is a word game they play ever year to suck up huge parts of the County Budget. Believe whatever you want. I have seen this show for many, many years now…
