Title

Proposed letter to the Honorable Dr. Juanita Miller, Ph.D., Chair, Prince George’s County Board of Education, in support of their FY 2023 Budget Reconciliation.

 

Background

On June 23, 2022, the Board of Education adopted their FY 2023 Operating Budget totaling $2,659,688,770 and is requesting the Council’s approval of the reconciling adjustments.  The Board of Education transmitted their FY 2023 Operating Budget transfer reconciliation on October 13, 2022. The transfer request authorizes reassignment of appropriations between major budget expenditures categories in the amount of $29,447,770 included in the Board’s approved reconciling adjustments.  This transfer approval is required by State Law to incorporate changes approved by the Board of Education.

 

The transfer request increases funding in nine (9) major expenditure categories: Administration, Mid-Level Administration, Textbooks and Instructional Materials, Student Personnel Services, Health Services, Operation of Plant, Maintenance of Plant, Fixed Charges and Public Private Partnership.   Funding decreased in six (6) categories:  Instructional Salaries, Other Instructional Cost, Special Education, Student Transportation Services, Food Services Subsidy, and Community Services. Attachment 1 itemizes the changes per category.

 

The reconciled budget maintains fiscal stability and supports school-based initiatives within Prince George’s County Public Schools.
