Prince William County Public Schools (PWCS) is receiving support from area officials.
Members of the Board of County Supervisors (BOCS) passed the estimated $1.2 billion fiscal 2020 budget on Tuesday.
County Executive Chris Martino presented his proposed fiscal 2020 spending plan to the board in February.
It includes a fire levy of $0.08 per $100 of assessed value and a real estate tax rate that’s remaining at $1.125 per $100 of assessed value, according to a release from Prince William County.
On average, residential tax bills are expected to rise by $147, which includes $10 for the fire levy.
About 57 percent, or nearly $607.3 million, of the approved budget has been allocated to Prince William William County Public Schools (PWCS) as part of the revenue sharing agreement.
Raises for faculty and staff, and additional funding for special education are part of the school system’s budget, which the School Board approved in March.
Last year, the county provided $578.8 million to PWCS.
In addition to funding for the school division, the fiscal 2020 spending plan sets aside $6.7 million for public safety.
An additional $10.5 million is being used to support the fire and rescue recruitment and retention plan.
Further details about the budget are available on the county’s website.
