Where WCPSS would get its money for the next school year

The district's funding comes from three different pools of taxpayer dollars. The county appropriation comprises most of, but not all, of the local funding.

Federal funding will be much higher than normal during the 2022-23 school year, because of the temporary federal stimulus dollars received by the school district. It is typically 8% of the school system’s operating budget, as opposed to 15%.
