Dear parents, students, staff and friends of Woodgrove High School: As we enter the new semester, not only are we faced with weather-related challenges and obstacles but we are also faced with the reality of LCPS budget funding decisions and possible shortfalls in the millions of dollars for the FY14/15 school year. Tough choices lie ahead. Acting as an advocate of our schools and with the belief that a high achieving school system with a superior level of instruction, appropriate facilities, access to technology and on par staff renumeration is a beacon that draws people to a place, not drives them away, the Woodgrove PTSO has drafted the following resolution: Woodgrove High School: Our motto: “Work, Honor, Strive.” Woodgrove Wolverines stand in support of a fully funded Fiscal Year 2014/15 budget as proposed by Dr. Hatrick and thereby submit this resolution accordingly. *Whereas LCPS student population has increased from 57,009 in 2008-09 to a projected 72,233 in 2014-15, and *Whereas LCPS has proven itself a model of efficiency by reducing the cost per pupil from $12,780 in 2008-09 to $12,735 in 2014-15; with a corresponding low 6.9% non-school based employee positions, the lowest of surrounding counties, and *Whereas we feel that the quality of a school system is reflected in a desirably competitive real estate market and accordingly increasing property values, We urge YOU, the Loudoun County School Board and Board of Supervisors to go above and beyond the State of Virginia’s minimum qualifying standards and fully fund the FY14/15 school budget as set forth by Dr. Hatrick. We challenge you to WORK together to find a satisfactory level of funding which proves that you can, and will HONOR your commitment to quality education and STRIVE to balance the needs of our students, teachers, and staff.
