Title
Proposed correspondence to Segun C. Eubanks, Ed.D., Chair, Board of Education, expressing the Council’s support of the Board of Education FY 2018 Financial Review and Transfer Request as of November 30, 2017.
Background
A financial review was conducted as of November 30, 2017 which indicated a need for a request to transfer existing appropriations between major expenditure categories to address FY 2018 spending based on anticipated and available revenue. The transfer request is required to meet existing instructional and support service requirements for the current school year, and balances the funds appropriated by major state category. The requested transfer between major expenditure categories totals approximately $8,118,300 million, or 0.41% of the FY 2018 County Council’s Approved Board of Education Budget. The Board of Education’s total FY 2018 Budget will remain unchanged at $1,975,443,500.
The Transfer request increases funding in the nine (9) following major categories: Administration, Mid-Level Administration, Other Instructional Cost, Special Education, Student Personnel Services, Health Services, Student Transportation Services, Operation of Plant and Maintenance of Plant. These increases in expenditure funding are offset by savings identified with the three (3) following categories: Instructional Salaries, Textbooks and Instructional Materials and Fixed Charges.
