[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the thread on the superintendent, someone claimed that 90% of the budget goes to salary and a “vast majority” of that goes to teachers and instructional aids. That seemed like an overstatement. When challenged on these “stats” someone replied that 95% of 90% of the budget goes to teachers and instructional aids.  They cited this link:

I looked and looked, and I can’t find anything close to numbers that support the claim that 81% of the FCPS goes exclusively to teacher and instructional aid salary. Can someone help me out here? What percentage of the FCPS budget is teacher and instructional aid salary? Just teachers and instructional aids. Not admin or Gatehouse. [/quote]

You’re misunderstanding what’s been said. FCPS has never said that 81% of the budget goes to teacher and IA salaries. It goes to instruction, which also means things like materials in addition to salaries.

40% of the total budget goes to teacher and IA salaries.

Did you know that more than 85% of FCPS’ budget stays in our classrooms? Currently, 92.5% of FCPS staff are school-based, more than neighboring school districts.
