V. WE LOVE OUR PEOPLE PLAN
#FCPS1KidsDeserveIt 17
Salary Compression and Market Competition Proposal
Fauquier County must move towards 100% comp ratio in all steps and scales in order to attract and retain highly
qualified instructional positions in our market.
The market included: Albemarle, Culpeper, Frederick, Loudoun, Prince William, Spotsylvania, Stafford and Warren.
#FCPS1KidsDeserveIt 18
Salary: Teacher Scale (BA & MA Only)
#FCPS1KidsDeserveIt 19
Non-Traditional Compensation
Individual and Family Sick Leave Bank: This coverage will now allow employees
to access sick leave to care for a spouse, child or parent. The sick leave bank
policy allows employees to access sick leave for up to 55 days.
Beyond 55 days, additional paid/unpaid leave is at the discretion of the superintendent.
Paid Time Off: Revision to sick and personal leave policies for 10 and 11 month
certified staff. The policies will be combined into one paid time off accrual. For
example, new teachers would start with 13 days of leave.
#FCPS1KidsDeserveIt 20
Other Benefits
Retiree Health Insurance Credit: This proposal includes a post-employment
benefit for all school employees with 20 consecutive years of service who
are eligible for retirement with VRS. This benefit would offer to provide a
health care credit capped at $500 total to employees until the age of 65.
After that, the benefit would continue at a reduced rate.
20 years of consecutive service
Participation on an FCPS1 health plan for at least the five years immediately
preceding retirement.
Eligible for retirement from VRS
A combined supplement up to $500 for qualifying employees until the age of 65
Requires an annual actuarially determined contribution to the OPEB trust
#FCPS1KidsDeserveIt 21
Workforce Investment and FY 2021-22 Plan
Future Objectives for Compensation
▪ Step 1: Achieve 100% market for all positions. Reviewing annually for variances.
▪ Step 2: Implement policy and practice of providing an annual step and cost of living
adjustment for all staff. This will keep us competitive in the market place.
Year End Fund Planning: This proposal recommends a plan for using carryover funds for
unfunded liabilities and needs: 1. CSA Payment (30%), 2. Loyalty Appreciation (15%), 3.
Capital Reserve (15%), 4. Emergency Reserve (10%), 5. Technology Plan (25%), 6. Other
Needs (5%).
*If the percentage recommended needs to be changed, staff will provide explanation for change at the time of
request.

$2.94 M Expenditure Reductions: The proposed budget increases class sizes slightly, shares the cost of health
insurance with employees for the first time in more than 6 years, reduces/reorganizes administrative/central support
personnel, and makes a temporary reduction for facility maintenance (CMP and Cash CIP) in order to reduce the
request for local support for public education needs.
These reductions are being proposed because the gap in the market cost and scale compression has created an
emergency for attracting and retaining highly qualified instructional staff.
