What stands out about how Haymarket is run
Read from the town’s budget and official records.
Prince William County Public Schools
Haymarket’s K–12 school district, shared with Dumfries, Occoquan. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $16,472 per pupil, $9,186 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
Virginia districts overall: 49% local, 41% state, 10% federal.
