| School Operating Budget |
| Adopted May 3, 2007 |
| For Fiscal year 2007-08 |
|
|
| The School Board on May 3, 2007 adopted the budget for fiscal
year 2007-08. This budget includes
Federal, State, County and Local revenues and expenditures supported by these
revenues as approved by the School Board.
The budget and budget process are summarized in the following. The full budget detail is available
through the School Board Office. |
|
|
|
| The Budget Process |
| The
budget process is comprised of planning, preparation, adoption,
implementation and evaluation. The
planning process began in September and October 2006 with meetings with
directors, principals, and staff. On
November 21, 2006 a public hearing was conducted by the School Board to
receive input for the budget planning.
The Rollover Budget was presented to the School Board on January 9,
2007. During January several work
sessions were scheduled by the School Board to receive information and
evaluate requests and recommendations from the administration, staff, and
employee groups. After a public
hearing on February 20, 2007 the School Board approved a budget to be
presented to the Board of Supervisors for funding. During February to April 2007, adjustments were made to the
budget based on the projected revenue from the General Assembly and the Board
of Supervisors. The School Board
approved the final budget on May 3, 2007.

| Budget Summary |
| Montgomery
County Public Schools continue to experience moderate growth and the student
enrollment is projected to increase by 130 students. Maintaining pupil teacher ratios,
improving compensation to attract and retain the best qualified staff, and
providing quality instructional programs that prepare students for future
endeavors are major goals of the School Board. The original budget approved on February 20, 2007 was a reflection
of the needs to meet these goals.
Based on the funds available from State, Federal, County, and other
local revenue, the School Board had to reduce the original budget by
$5,571,984. The following is the
final budget adopted by the School Board.
Major increases were required for the state increase in required
contributions to retirement, increase in health insurance premiums, and
staffing to serve the increase in the number of students. Salaries for employees were increased an
average of two (2%) percent that included 1.6% for the step on salary scales
and 0.4% cost of living adjustment (COLA).
The following is a summary of the changes and additions to the School
Operating Budget. |
