Yesterday the Montgomery County Council was scheduled to take up the MCPS Operating Budget. However, that discussion was cancelled. A press release from the Council states that the MCPS Operating Budget will now be discussed today at 2 PM.
At 2 p.m., the Council will address the MCPS requested operating budget. As currently proposed, MCPS is the only agency budget that does not include a reduction from the approved FY10 budget. By comparison with other agencies of the Montgomery County, the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission budget includes a reduction of 15.8 percent. The County Government budget includes a reduction of 7.7 percent. The Montgomery College budget includes a 3.7 percent reduction.
As currently requested, the MCPS budget would represent 57.2 percent of the total County budget.
From the packet for today's Council work session:
The Board of Education requested a total of $2,263,286,410 for the FYll MCPS Operating Budget. This amount represents an increase of $62,709,410 or 2.8 percent over the FYI0 approved level.
