Title
(a) Proposed letter to Segun C. Eubanks, Ed. D., Chair, Board of Education, transmitting the Fiscal Year 2016 Operating Budget.
Background
This letter advises the Board of Education that a $1,833,067,725 appropriation level is approved for the Prince George's County School System Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2016.  This is an increase of $37,817,425 or 2.1%, over the current year's approved budget amount. The Board of Education's budget represents 62.1% of the County's total Fiscal Year 2016 General Fund Budget. The County's approved FY 2016 budget exceeds the County's minimum contribution funding level required under the State's maintenance-of-effort formula.
