[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is DEI & Undocumented Student Support Worth $714M? Trump Admin Pulling Federal Funding, FCPS Wants You to Pay.
 
With FCPS staring at a $292.7 million budget shortfall, it's time we talk dollars and sense.

DEI Spending: Our Chief Equity Office has 56 full-time positions, costing about $5.76 million annually.

Undocumented Student Support: FCPS educates over 38,000 ESOL students, with estimates suggesting 75% are children of undocumented immigrants. At $19,795 per student, plus $4,643 for ESOL services, that's roughly $708 million each year.

Combined Cost: Including DEI spending, the total annual expenditure is approximately $714 million.

Your Share: Fairfax County has about 407,000 households. Dividing $714 million among them means each household would need to contribute an extra $1,754 annually.

With the Trump administration pulling federal funding due to DEI and undocumented student support, Fairfax County already plans to request funding to maintain these programs as-is, essentially deciding for you. Do you support this decision amid increasing assessments and talks of raising assessment rates?

This is really upsetting. I cannot afford another $1754 per year![/quote]
