Queen Anne County Board of Education Budget Work Session
The key discussion centered on the Fiscal Year 2027 budget proposal, which indicated an overall increase of $1.323 million, including a state increase of nearly $1.5 million. The proposed budget reflects a 10.5% overall increase, broken down into a 7.5% cost to maintain current programs and just over a 3% increase to improve programs. A significant topic was the resulting $12.055 million deficit when excluding potential county funding above maintenance of effort. Discussions included the structure of the budget book, detailing required contractual service increases versus line items needing restoration. The meeting also addressed grant funding, noting that current projections are estimates as federal allocations are pending, and discussed the necessity of staff like a grant writer. Furthermore, the board discussed the impending state mandate regarding the science of reading policy, noting that the proposed budget includes six additional reading specialists to proactively support this requirement, which was presented as a justification for seeking additional county support.
