FY23 Budget Engagement

The DCPS budget cycle is a year-round process and one that provides opportunities for stakeholders across our community — including parents, students, and principals, teachers and staff — to be engaged in the development of their school budget. Learn more about how DCPS receives funding, understand how that funding is dispersed, and examine individual school budgets by visiting the budget website at dcpsbudget.com.

Fiscal Year 2023 (FY23) Budget Engagement

For the 2022-2023 school year, DCPS will follow an updated budget model that will help to ensure resources are aligned to the individual needs of the students we serve and allow schools to provide important programs and offerings when enrollments shift.

The revised model was developed based on feedback from principals, parents and guardians, our community and independent budget experts. The updated model follows best practices that puts the needs of our students first. Funds will be distributed to a school based on its student and staff counts, the needs of special student populations, and a methodology designed to support year-over-year enrollment transitions.
