Title

AN ACT CONCERNING LOCAL IMPACT GRANT FUNDING FOR CROSSLAND HIGH SCHOOL for the purpose of requiring annual allocation of certain funds to support vocational, technical, and skilled trades programs at Crossland High School.

 

Background

The County allocated $1,119,000 to Crossland High School in Fiscal Year 2017 from the half-year budgeted video lottery terminal revenue from MGM National Harbor, approximately 25% of the Local Impact Grant (excluding funds reserved by state law for Maryland Highway 210).  The allocation was for the purpose of establishing a signature career and technology academy for the vocational, technical, and skilled trades in industry areas like construction, technology, and human services.  The proposed legislation will create a dedicated and recurring funding investment at Crossland High School by requiring the County, beginning in Fiscal Year 2018, to annually allocate 25% of the Local Impact Grant up to an amount not to exceed $2.2 million.

 

6/6/2017:  CB-22-2017 (DR-2) was amended on the floor prior to enactment as follows:  On page 2; line 23 add "at least" before 25%

CB-22-2017 (DR-3) enacted.
