Chesterfield County Public Schools Better Together
S'mores and campfires, macaroni and cheese, popcorn and movies...what do these things have in common? They are better together! In this podcast, Cat Tompkins of Chesterfield County Public Schools' Office of Family and Community Engagement has conversations with stakeholders on a variety of topics that directly impact education. The goal of this podcast is to strengthen the ties between home and school and schools and the community by sharing stories, challenges, and successes. Chesterfield students will have better outcomes when we take a collaborative approach to support learning. Schools, families, and the community are better together too.

It's School Budget Time!

Family and Community Engagement, Cat Tompkins
In this podcast, we explore the budget process, learn how our school system is funded, compare our spending with that of other districts in the Commonwealth and identify those expenditures that are non-negotiable and also those items that we may need to fund in order to ensure that our students have the most supportive, safe and engaging learning experience possible.
Thanks to School Board members Rob Thompson and John Erbach for taking the time to sit down and answer questions. Also contributing to this podcast are Christina Berta, Dr. Thomas Taylor, Dr. John Gordon, Dr. Tameisha Grimes and Amy Bartilotti. Many thanks to these CCPS staff members as well!
