BOARD OF EDUCATION TO BE BRIEFED ON IMPACT OF COUNTY EXECUTIVE’S FY2018 BUDGET PROPOSAL ON SCHOOL SYSTEM

The Board of Education of Anne Arundel County will hear about the impact of County Executive Steve Schuh’s proposed Fiscal Year 2018 Operating and Capital budgets on the school system at its next meeting, scheduled for 10 a.m. on Wednesday, May 3, 2017, in the Board Room at the Parham Building, 2644 Riva Road, Annapolis.

The County Executive is scheduled to deliver his budget address to the County Council at 11 a.m. on Monday, May 1. The County Council will then hold workshops and public hearings on the proposal before it adopts an operating budget that allocates funding within state-established categories in June and a capital budget that prescribes funding for school construction projects. In the operating budget, the Board may shift funding within categories before it approves a final school system budget no later than June 30.
