1. Overall Budget and Average Spending:
- Average cost per student in FCPS: $19,795.
- Total students in FCPS: 181,000.

2. Special Education Costs:
- Number of special education students: 28,251.
- Average cost for special education per service: $18,421.
- Total cost for special education: 28,251 students x $18,421 per student = $520,564,171.

3. Total Budget for All Students:
- Total budget: 181,000 students x $19,795 per student = $3,582,795,000.

4. Calculating Remaining Budget for Non-Special Education Students:
- Remaining budget after special education costs: $3,582,795,000 (total budget) - $520,564,171 (special ed cost) = $3,062,230,829.

5. Number of Non-Special Education Students:
- Non-special education students: 181,000 (total students) - 28,251 (special ed students) = 152,749 students.

6. Average Spending Per Non-Special Education Student:
- Average spending for non-special education students: $3,062,230,829 / 152,749 students = $20,049 approximately.

7. Consideration for ESOL and FARMs:
- ESOL and FARMs students receive additional federal and state funding. This calculation does not specifically deduct their costs from the total budget but assumes that the total budget includes these funds.

8. Voucher Value Based on Calculation:
- To match the actual expenditure of FCPS on a typical student (excluding special education, ESOL, and FARMs students), a voucher system would ideally offer a value of approximately $20,049. This amount aligns with the average spending per non-special education student and would offer a realistic alternative to public education, ensuring comparable funding for students opting for private education through vouchers.

This voucher value of $20,049 would ensure that the voucher system accurately reflects the financial commitment required to provide a comprehensive education, similar to what is available in the public school system.


So non special ed kids get more than special ed kids? Why?

Its unbelievable how much they are willing to spend to protecr Gatehouse staff from having to interact with parents on this. I agree with pp, there is zero point to the experian 1-800 number. They have no information.


Fcps has no reason to be accountable as they are funded generously without oversight. If they are held accountable by a competitive alternative like vouchers they would get their act together.


That’s not how any of that works.

Sorry. Taxpayers aren’t going to subsidize your kids’ private school.


That’s literally how the school voucher program works. Lol.


No. Losing funding will not “help” schools.

$20k from where? VA isn’t going to provide a voucher that size.


The PP does understand math. You can’t carve out $20k per kid. It’s not scalable like that. Take off a few kids off a bus route, but the transportation costs for that route are still the same. Remove a few kids from a building. The building still needs the same heating, custodial care, etc.

Republicans want to destroy our public schools by defunding them. They want taxpayers to subside their kids’ private school tuition.

Addressing your concerns about a $20,000 voucher system, it's important to understand that while fixed costs like transportation and building maintenance in public schools don't decrease proportionally with a slight drop in student numbers, there are still opportunities for scalability and cost adjustment. For example, a notable decrease in student enrollment could lead to the optimization of resources like bus routes or even consolidation of school facilities, potentially leading to cost savings in the long term. The intent of vouchers is to provide educational choices, especially for families who might not afford private education, rather than to undermine public schools. The impact of such a voucher system on public schools would vary, depending on the program's scale and public school funding structure. It's a complex issue, requiring a balance between offering diverse educational options and maintaining robust public school funding. This approach acknowledges the diverse educational needs and preferences of families while striving to sustain the quality and viability of public education.

People - Callie is posting over and over to get you off the top of suing her. Don't pay attention. You can be angry at FCPS and also take Callie to court. Don't fall for this barf-posting nonsense from her.

If Callie was willing to send families the documents she received about their child, it would certainly go a long way towards reparations.

Callie Oettinger's advocacy in FCPS emphasizes the importance of accountability in education, especially regarding special education services and data privacy. Her efforts, particularly in response to FCPS's accidental release of confidential student data, demonstrate the need for transparent and responsible management in educational systems. This situation illustrates how a voucher system could promote accountability by giving parents options and influence in ensuring quality education and proper handling of sensitive information. Oettinger's work underlines the critical role of vigilant oversight in educational environments

Telling someone their neighborhood school will close and their child's bus route will be four hours long is not really a selling point for vouchers.

You just proved my point above. Thanks, Callie.

Seems like it. As I said, if you misdirect and shit up the conversation, people will lose interest in Callie. Let's remember that the thread is "Can I sue Callie Oettinger?"

This doesn't require a propaganda expert or agency employed skilled in misdirection to understand. The less you talk about Callie OR the more you talk about her in a positive light, the less chance she will lose her house.

Public money should not subsidize private schools, specifically and especially religious based institutions. You want that? Pay for it yourself. THey offer scholarships.

Don't forget to sue Callie!

The rest is all BS talking points.

Defunding schools will not “help” schools no matter how you try to spin it.

Is Callie and her RWNJ think tank buddies pro-voucher?

Callie wants to close neighborhood schools to make them “better”?
