It’s not exactly light reading, but the Montgomery County Public Schools budget will be the featured tome at a “Book Club” meeting Wednesday night.
The Montgomery County Civic Federation, Parents’ Coalition of Montgomery County and the Montgomery County Taxpayers Leagueare hosting “MCPS Budgetpalooza!” with plans to review the school system’s operating budget chapter by chapter. There are 11 chapters and nearly 550 pages, not including summary data and appendices, in the budget.
