Superintendent Taylor to Board of Ed.: There isn't a single line in the 10,000 lines that are in your budget that will be spent exactly how the dollars line up.

 "Your budget is a spending plan.

There isn't a single line in the 10,000 lines that are in your budget that will be spent

exactly how the dollars line up. 

You will have some that are higher and very few that are lower. 

But it is your plan as you have it mapped out for how

the system should spend its money."

Statement of MCPS Superintendent Thomas W. Taylor

Minute 2:39:00 of Board of Education - Operating Budget Work Session #2 - 1/20/26
