FACT: VBCPS is a leader in budget management and has earned national and state awards for its responsible budget practices.
VBCPS is a 17-time Association of School Business Officials (ASBO) Meritorious Budget Award winner. In addition, since 1995, VBCPS has received a clean audit by an external, third-party auditor. A clean audit means there were no material findings of any financial issues or misuse of funds.
Finally, using funds for technology as well as sustainable school construction has proven to be a wise investment. While there may be some higher upfront costs, these features help curb ongoing costs. For example, thanks to the use of funding in “green” building practices, VBCPS has increased the overall square footage of the district by 7 percent while reducing energy consumption by 27.5 percent.
