On May 22, 2025, the Montgomery County Board of Education will meet to discuss what to eliminate from their FY 2026 Operating Budget proposal. The Board of Education will not be receiving their entire request and must eliminate $8,585,914 in expenditures.
Where to trim the Board of Education's FY 2026 Operating Budget? Superintendent Thomas Taylor has posted his recommendations at this link, including the elimination of 30 special education teacher positions.
Below is a list of all of the MCPS Operating Budget funds paid out to vendors receiving over $25,000 through January in FY 2025. Notice that in Superintendent Taylor's recommendation he doesn't mention anything about any of the MCPS contracts or vendor deals listed below.
That's notable especially since the Board of Education has been ordered by the Maryland Appellate Court to review the $168 million dollar electric school bus procurement but, to date, the Board of Education has refused to comply with that court order.
What if the Board of Education complied with the court order and ended up saving millions of dollars in the leasing of electric school buses? Would Superintendent Taylor still need to cut 30 special education teachers next year?
Take a look at the $445,209,270 in vendor payments as of January 2025:
