Today, Thursday Feb. 9, the Board of Education held the final operating budget work session with MCPS Administration. The proposed budget is designed to improve literacy and math, recruit and keep diverse and high-quality employees, and keep schools safe and welcoming. Key adjustments to the budget include:
- Adding expert staff members in literacy and mathematics to support student learning and teacher effectiveness
- Supports for new teachers and counselors
- Targeted professional development
- Increased security staff
Up next, the board will vote to tentatively approve and adopt the proposed budget, and will then send it to the County Executive/ County Council. You can attend county public hearings starting in April. See the presentation video. Review the presentation slides
