Do not train children to learning by force and harshness, but direct 

them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able 

to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.

Re: 

Fluvanna County Public Schools FY 2013 Budget 

Education is the process by which individuals acquire general knowledge, develop 

reasoning and judgment to prepare oneself for life. This definition describes the 

foundation that we must provide to our children for growth and become contributing 

citizens in our community. It is my responsibility as a school board member to provide 

students with the tools they need to succeed. It is also my responsibility to ensure that 

we have qualified individuals in positions within our buildings that meet the needs of 

our students to foster learning. 

In the Summer of 2011, the Board developed four priorities that are directly linked to 

the way our division operates and how the FY13 budget document was created. Our 

first priority is to provide a quality education to all of our students. We believe that all 

children can learn and our task is to develop their success. Our administration and 

staff have reviewed programs and methods of learning to identify best practices that 

are imperative to assist our students. The second priority of our Board is to build a 

culture that is conducive to learning in a safe and nurturing environment. We must 

be supportive of our students at all times and provide guidance. We also must be 

sensitive to their needs, physically and emotionally in order for them to show growth. 

As we prepare to open our new high school, we envision the building as the central 

hub of learning for our youth and adult students. Our third priority is to foster 

relationships with our community. We understand that we cannot provide education 

without community support. The administrative staff has reached out to our local 

businesses and community members for assistance. We have worked with members of 

the Board of Supervisors to provide information that was used to develop our budget 

considerations. We also continue to collaborate and develop a relationship that is 

positive and proactive. Our board offered community meetings to hear from our 

constituents when planning for transition of schools. We are a visible and active, 

supportive voice in our buildings. We encourage our community to participate in our 

efforts as we inform them of our activities. Our final priority is to operate in an effective 

and efficient manner. As economic struggles continue, we are tasked to re-evaluate 

how we operate daily. The administration has re-structured positions, developed 

policies and procedures for accountability and continues to explore our vision of a 

seamless K-12 educational system. We have developed this budget to be transparent, 

precise and to demonstrate our needs as a school division. Our increase in funding 

request is one that allows us to transition our students into their grade designated 

buildings in the Fall 2012. It also reflects a reward to our staff who works diligently to 

provide a quality education. We continue to scrutinize funds in order to alleviate 

increased insurance costs. We ask that as you view this budget document, you would 

keep the above priorities in mind and join us in the vision that we have for Fluvanna 

County Public Schools. We are committed to providing an educational experience 

that will prepare our students for an ever-changing world that demands the best 

critical thinkers.

Re: 

Members of the Fluvanna County School Board 

Gena C. Keller 

Superintendent’s Proposal for FY 2013 Budget 

The sole purpose of our work as public educators and members of the School Board is to 

provide our students with the best educational opportunities possible. We are here to 

provide a foundation for our students in order that they have solid footing as they enter 

post-secondary education opportunities or move directly into the work force. 

Over the past few years, in response to the economic restraints, we have restructured our 

staff, scrutinized our spending patterns, streamlined our resources, frozen salaries, and 

organized a “collective K-12 budget planning model” in order to lessen the impact on 

services provided to our children. It remains a priority that we continue to meet the needs 

of our diverse population and assure adequate funding from our Board of Supervisors for 

the 2012-2013 school year. The members of our School Board continue to bridge 

communication with their counterparts on the Board of Supervisors and this is integral to 

our success as a school division and as a community. 

I am grateful for the never-ending efforts of our administrative leadership team as well as 

our Fluvanna County Public School employees who have offered their insights, suggestions, 

and rolled up their sleeves to make the best of the implications related to the economic 

distress. I am also truly grateful for the members of our School Board. Having a board that 

believes deeply in our public education system assures us that we can remain focused, 

accountable, and ultimately successful in meeting the needs of each and every child. 

Thank you for the opportunity to serve the community of Fluvanna.

Revenue 

Fluvanna County Public Schools receives funding from three primary sources: state, federal, and local. The 

school division receives other relatively small amounts of revenue from a number of sources that include, but 

are not limited to: grants from local and regional organizations, insurance claim reimbursements, leasing of 

real property and broadband spectrum. The two charts below show the funding budgeted for Fiscal Year 

2012 and projected for Fiscal Year 2013. 

Fiscal Year 2012 Revenues by Source 

Fiscal Year 2013 Projected Revenues by Source 

15

State Revenue: 

Most state funding is allocated through the Local Composite Index (LCI). This is a formula set out in 

the Virginia General Assembly’s annual appropriations act that measures a locality’s ability to pay for its 

schools based on population, school enrollment, and factors such as True Value of Property, Adjusted Gross 

Income, and General Sales and Use Taxes. A description of the LCI and specific information used to 

calculate it are contained in Appendix C. Fluvanna’s LCI for the 2012 – 2014 biennium is 0.3924, which 

means that Fluvanna is responsible for 39.24% of the state – calculated costs of educating its children and 

the state share is 60.76%. 

Based on Governor’s Introduced Budget of December 19, 2011, Fluvanna County Public Schools will 

receive $18,451,976 from the state in Fiscal Year 2013. This is $753,590 more than projected and budgeted 

for Fiscal Year 2012. 

The following chart shows the funding received from the state from Fiscal Year 2007 through the 

projection for Fiscal Year 2014. 

Note: For the chart above, the Fiscal Years 2012 – 14 Revenue projections are based on state projected 

ADM. 

16

Federal Revenue: 

Federal funds are received for various entitlement programs and specific grants. It must be 

expended in accordance with the entitlement or grant-specific directives. Federal revenue for Fiscal Year 

2013 is projected to be $757,590 less than FY 2012. 

Local Revenue: 

The amount of additional County funding requested in the Superintendent’s Proposed Budget is 

$1,389,027 more than FY 2012, for a total of $36,247,112.

___New Project -FY2013-2017 

Project Description, Justification & Location: The waste water treatment plant at the old high school handles the sewage for the old high school, the Abrams 

building and Central Elementary School. It is currently over capacity and we are required by the Commonwealth to upgrade it immediately. The most cost effective 

solution consists of placing a ten thousand gallon holding tank before the main tank to act as a buffer during the day to allow the main system to “catch up” over night 

when the buildings are not releasing effluent. Year to date we have accrued approximately $6,000.00 in fines from DEQ due to exceeding discharge limits defined by 

our permit. Additional fines could be forthcoming if improvements are not made. 

Although we are already well in to the 2011-2012 budget year, this expenditure is both substantial and an immediate requirement, so we are recommending that the 

current capital budget be modified to include it.

Convert Existing Middle School To Upper Elementary School 



Chuck Winkler 



___ FY12 Proj- add'l funding. 

__x_Existing FY2013-2017 


Project Description, Justification & Location: The original estimate for this conversion was $2,315,000. The recent Facilities Study estimate is $4,627,084. The 

big difference is in the installation of a new HVAC system. As the existing system is less than ten years old and is working fine according to the administration, we 

don’t feel that there is a need to replace it at this time. The recommended cost is the result of removing the HVAC and site work portions from the facilities study. This 

leaves in all of the recommended changes to convert the building to an upper elementary school, which include: 

• Renovate shop area into admin office & educational space 

• Convert 3 science labs to classrooms. 

• Renovate life skills / kitchen area into classrooms. 

• New marker / chalkboards. 

• Refurbish music room 

• ADA improvements / Toilet upgrades

Order in Rank# 1A of 3 




Project Description, Justification & Location: This is the second part of the repair to the HS treatment plant. It consists of draining, cleaning and coating the main 

tank to gain another ten years of lifetime from the system. In this manner, we will be able to have a measured examination of the long term options of a total 

replacement of the system or the possibility of tying into the county system. This part has been separated from the previous section because it needs to be done when 

the system can be pulled out of operation. The work is best accomplished next summer which allows us to factor it into the 2012 budget year.

Middle School Wastewater Treatment Plant 



Chuck Winkler 

Order in Rank# 1B of 3 




_x__New Project -FY2013- 

2017 

Project Description, Justification & Location: The waste treatment plant at the current middle school is twenty years old and has an expected life of twenty to 

twenty-five years. This plant handles not only the middle school but also the Carysbrook complex which is run by the county. 

The recently completed facilities study recommended a high priority on the replacement of this plant as it is not only showing wear but has indications of an impending 

tank failure. As the failure of the tank would cause the immediate loss of wastewater handling at both the middle school and the Carysbrook facility we recommend the 

boards take immediate steps to replace this plant.

School Buses 


Chuck Winkler 






Project Description, Justification & Location: The Governor of Virginia and the Virginia Dept. of Education recommend a 15-year replacement cycle for school 

buses in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Fluvanna currently has 41 buses that are fifteen or more years old. Ten of these are over twenty years old and ten are nineteen 

years old. 

We recommend that we start immediately replacing the oldest of these buses at the rate of four/year. This will not get us caught up but will get us started on a 

maintainable cycle that can be adjusted as the bus needs change over the ensuing years.

Current High School Gym & Locker Rooms 



Chuck Winkler 






Project Description, Justification & Location: Renovation will provide new public restroom fixtures, stalls with doors and finishes, and repair to lockers for the 

girls’ and boys’ locker rooms. The locker rooms will be refurbished to bring them up to a save and useable space for middle school gym and team uses. New shower 

and restroom fixtures will be installed and the gym flooring will be refinished. 

The scope of this work would include complete interior and systems (HVAC and electrical) demolition and replacement as well as reconfiguration of space to provide 

appropriate accessibility and function. New plumbing will be provided to meet current needs. 

The cost of this was calculated by taking the $1,649,357 figure from the Facilities study and removing the full locker replacement, new bleachers and athletic 

equipment replacement. We are then slightly above the original estimate of $1,150,000 in the Domino Plan.

Current High School HVAC 


Chuck Winkler 






Project Description, Justification & Location: The HVAC in the renovated space at the high school and the HVAC in the original building currently operate on two 

separate systems. The original HVAC was installed in 1976 to accommodate 800 students. The heating in the original building is provided by using hot water from 

three oil-fired water boilers. The three boilers are located in the mechanical equipment room. The boilers are also used to provide the majority of domestic hot water. 

Each boiler is sized to handle 35 percent of the heating load and to distribute heating water to coils throughout the building via two base-mounted centrifugal pumps. 

One pump is for duty service and one pump is for standby. The central cooling source for the original building has two air-cooled, outdoor package chillers located in a 

mechanical yard outside of the mechanical room. The chillers are sized for a diversified cooling load, and distribute chilled water to the air handler cooling coils via 

base-mounted pumps. The building distribution pump is outfitted with a variable frequency drive. Rooms in the original building have individual thermostats to control 

space temperature. Many of these thermostats are no longer in working order. Heating and ventilating units serve primarily shop-type areas that have a requirement for 

large amounts of outside air. The original equipment has a median service life of 20 years. This equipment is now 35 years old and is ready for replacement and 

merging with the HVAC system in the renovated space. There are eight rooftop units that are part of the 1976 system. Central heating appears to be in fair condition. 

All primary controls for the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment is through a pneumatic control system. This type of control system has become 

outdated in recent years and most systems of this type have been replaced with direct digital control systems. The renovated space currently operates with a direct 

digital control system. 

The original estimate for this work was $3,415,000, the recent facilities study estimate is $2,999,638. We have removed an additional $118,000 from the base 

construction cost that was for replacement of light fixtures. Some of this might be needed if contractors find that bad ductwork requires additional demolition in some 

ceilings.

Additional Narrative Description or Special Explanations: HVAC systems consume, on average, 30% of electrical utilities costs. Replacing the current system should 

improve efficiency by 20%. The average utilities cost for this area of the current high school is currently $20,000 per month. 30% (average HVAC portion) would be $6,000. 

Improving efficiency by 20% should result in a savings of $1,200 per month.

Abrams Building Renovation 


Chuck Winkler 






Project Description, Justification & Location: Rationale: Renovation of this building could provide classroom and office space for the Adult Education and 

Alternative Education Programs currently housed at the School Board Office. Significant renovation would be required to comply with ADA requirements if these 

programs continue to be housed in the School Board Office building. The renovation will include the cost of asbestos abatement. The scope of proposed 

improvements is general in nature with a major focus on complete HVAC and electrical upgrades. The project would include a new roof and replacement flooring in 

classrooms. The cost would include basic architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering, and allowances for independent inspections. 

Surveys for boundary, topography, existing underground and concealed elements on the site will be completed. 

This is still the original cost estimate as we have not received an update.

Abrams Gym HVAC 


Chuck Winkler 






Project Description, Justification & Location: Rationale: The 12,000 square foot Abrams gym was built in the 1960s as part of the Abrams School, which 

educated African Americans during segregation. It later became a junior high school from the late 19602 until 1989. It became part of the high school complex after 

Fluvanna Middle School was built on Route 15. The annex gym was shared by the High School and Central Elementary until a gym was built at Central. The gym seats 

approximately 450 people and was heated by a blower in the gym and blowers in the locker rooms. Currently the gym is utilized by the High School and the Parks and 

Recreation Department. Installing HVAC in this structure would include connecting the gym to the current Trane-Summit system installed in the high school addition. 

These figures are directly from the new facilities study, which are somewhat greater than the $363,000 in the original estimate.

Composite Index of Local Ability to Pay 

The Composite Index of Local Ability to Pay (“Composite Index” or “LCI”) is a formula contained in 

the annual Appropriation Act passed by the Virginia General Assembly that adjusts how much public 

education funding a locality receives based on the formula. The principal factors used in the formula are: 

a) True values of real estate and public service corporations; 

b) Adjusted gross income; 

c) Sales subject to the state general sales and use tax; 

d) Average Daily Membership (“ADM”); 

e) Population. 

The formula is composed of two calculations that are combined. The first is the “index of wealth per 

pupil” or ADM calculation and the second is the “index of wealth per capita” or Per Capita calculation. The 

parts have different weighting assigned to them, ADM being 2/3 of the final figure and Per Capita 1/3 of the 

final value. 

The LCI for a locality is recalculated on a biennial basis. The data that is used in the calculation 

“lags” significantly. For example, the factors detailed above that were used to determine the 2012 – 2014 

Biennial LCI are from 2009: true values of property; adjusted gross income; general sales and use tax; and 

population. A copy of the trend analysis sheet included in the LCI distribution spreadsheet follows the two 

pages containing the LCI calculation for Fluvanna County. 

Fluvanna’s LCI for the 2012 – 2014 biennium is 0.3924, which means that Fluvanna is responsible for 

39.24% of the state – calculated costs of educating its children and the state share is 60.76%. 

The formula with factors used in the computation of the Fluvanna LCI for the 2012 – 2014 Biennium is 

shown on the following two pages.

Index 

Local 

( .6667 X .8850 ) + ( .3333 X .8460 ) = Composite 

Index

EXCEPTIONS: 

*Please note the following exceptions to the standard composite index calculation as specified in the appropriation act 

(see actual appropriation act language under the tab labeled "Appropriation Act Language"): 

1) For those divisions in which three percent or more of the adjusted gross income is derived from individuals who are not residents 

of Virginia, the Department of Education shall compute the composite index for such localities by using adjusted gross income data 

which exclude nonresident income. School divisions are no longer required to submit a certification form requesting the exclusion of 

nonresident AGI. 

2) Any division with a calculated composite index that exceeds .8000 is considered as having an index of .8000; 

3) Under hold harmless provisions addressing the consolidation of school divisions contained in the appropriation act and Section 

15.2-1302, Code of Virginia, the composite index to be used for funding in the 2012-2014 biennium for the following division is: 

Alleghany County: .2423 (the index approved effective July 1, 2004); however, the 2012-2014 composite 

index for Alleghany County calculated based on the data elements from base-year 2009 is shown above as .2297. 

This lower composite index of .2297 will be used for Alleghany County.

Glossary of Terms 

This glossary includes definitions of terms used in this budget document and other terms as seem 

necessary for an understanding of financial accounting procedures for Fluvanna County Public Schools. 

Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)-A measurement defined by the federal No Child Left Behind Act that allows 

the U.S. Department of Education to determine how every public school and school district in the country is 

performing academically according to results on standardized tests. 

Advanced Placement (AP) Program—An intensive program of college-level curricula and examinations that 

provides high school students with an opportunity to earn advanced placement, college credit, or both, at 

universities and colleges across the country. 

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)—Federal funding intended to mitigate the impact of the 

economic crisis. This funding comes with significant restrictions, reporting requirements, and audits. 

Appropriation—An authorization granted by a legislative body to make expenditures and to incur 

obligations for specific purposes. An appropriation is usually limited in amount and as to the time when it 

may be expended. 

Appropriation Act—This is non-codified legislation passed by the Virginia General Assembly annually to 

provide for the operation of the state government and the distribution of funds to localities, school divisions, 

and regional bodies. 

Average Daily Membership (ADM)—The aggregate membership of a school division divided by the number 

of days school is in session. ADM is a factor in the state funding formula. 

Bond—Bonds for school purposes are either General Obligation Bonds or Virginia Public School Authority 

Bonds. 

Budget—A plan of financial operation embodying an estimate of proposed expenditures for a given period 

or purpose and the proposed financing sources. 

Capital Budget—A plan of proposed capital outlays and the means of financing them for the current fiscal 

period. 

Capital Improvement Plan—The five – year plan for County and Schools construction projects and 

acquisitions in excess of $20,000, such as school buses. 

Conference Committee—The General Assembly’s joint body established to resolve differences, if any, in the 

proposed budget originating in the House of Delegates and Senate. The membership consists of the House 

Appropriations Committee and Senate Finance Committee. 

Debt Service Fund—A fund established to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment 

of, general long-term debt principal and interest. In Fluvanna, the County pays Debt Service on capital 

acquisitions, but the School Division is currently paying for two Literary Fund Loan notes. 

Expenditures—Total charges incurred, whether paid or unpaid, for current costs. 

63

Appendix D 

FCPS—Fluvanna County Public Schools. 

Fiscal Period—Any period of time at which the entity determines its financial position and the results of its 

operations. FCPS has a fiscal year of July 1 to June 30. 

Fund Balance—The excess of assets of a fund over its liabilities and reserves. 

Local Composite Index (LCI)—The relative wealth index used by the state to equalize state aid to localities. 

Maintenance of Effort (MOE)—A requirement associated with expenditures for two areas of Federal funding, 

Title I and special education. Failure to maintain the required MOE established for these programs can result 

in loss of Federal funds. 

No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) - Federal legislation that enacts the theories of standards-based education 

reform, which is based on the belief that setting high standards and establishing measurable goals can 

improve individual outcomes in education. The Act requires states to develop assessments in basic skills to be 

given to all students in certain grades, if those states are to receive federal funding for schools. 

Revenue—The income of a government agency from taxation and other sources. 

Self Insurance—A term often used to describe the retention by an entity of a risk of loss arising out of the 

ownership of property or from some other cause, instead of transferring that risk to an independent third 

party through the purchase of an insurance policy. It is sometimes accompanied by the setting aside of 

assets to fund any related losses. Most bodies using this methodology also carry a supplemental insurance 

policy to cover previously unforeseen catastrophic events. This supplemental insurance is much smaller in 

scope and cost than if fully insured. 

Standards of Learning (SOL)—Objectives that are designated by the Virginia Board of Education as the 

student outcomes that are to result from the programs in the school. These standards are designated for 

elementary, middle, and secondary school students. 

Standards of Quality (SOQ)—The General Assembly and the Board of Education determine the SOQ for 

public schools in Virginia, as prescribed by the Code of Virginia. These standards are periodically revised and 

specify that each school division shall maintain schools that meet those requirements for accreditation 

prescribed by the Board of Education. 

State Category—The broad expenditure categories for school divisions prescribed by the State Board of 

Education in accordance with the Code of Virginia. Current state categories are as follows: 

(i) 

(ii) 

(iii) 

(iv) 

(v)
