8 MAINTENANCE OF EFFORT Maryland s Maintenance of Effort (MOE) law requires each county to provide local funds for the next fiscal year at the same per-pupil level as the current fiscal year. If there is no enrollment growth, local funding can remain the same as that of the previous year. The formula is known as the MOE funding level. This level does not address inflation or the added educational cost of students with special needs. In addition to the Maintenance of Effort requirement for fiscal year 2013 through 2016, Senate Bill (SB) 1301 required additional local monies to fund the retirement cost shift to local education agencies. The fiscal year 2018 local appropriation is $10.0 million above the required MOE.

76 School Construction Fund Fund Overview The FCPS Capital Improvement Program (CIP) funds major and systemic construction projects. In, the CIP includes the construction of two new elementary schools - Butterfly Ridge, located in Frederick City, and Sugarloaf, located in Urbana. It also includes funding to design two replacement schools Urbana Elementary and Rock Creek School. Our systemic improvements include roof replacements, mechanical replacements (boiler, HVAC, chillers), gym floor replacement, water storage tank replacements, window replacement, pavement repair, and tennis court reconstruction. These projects are completed throughout the system based upon facility needs. The CIP receives funding from several sources including the State of Maryland, Frederick County Government, and developer funds. State of Maryland: CIP funding is provided by the General Assembly and administered by the Public School Construction Program (PSCP) on an annual basis. The largest capital funding program that the PSCP administers is the Capital Improvement Program. State funding matches up to 64% of eligible construction expenses for qualified school construction and systemic projects for Frederick County Public Schools. All 23 counties, Baltimore City, and the Maryland School for the Blind compete annually for CIP funds. In, Frederick County was awarded $19,984,000 in capital improvement funds, including funds for the Qualified Zone Academy Bond program. Frederick County Government: Frederick County Government provides funding for major new school construction, renovation, replacement, and systemic projects. The County Executive released a proposed capital budget that includes the recommendation for the public school capital budget. The County Executive s budget is reviewed and approved by the County Council. The net capital budget allocated for public school construction projects in Frederick County s capital budget totals $67,276,605. Developer Funds: To meet the requirements of Frederick County s Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance (APFO), a developer had the option to fund the necessary additional school capacity needed by a proposed development to meet the county s APFO standards or to pay a school construction fee. However, the provision allowing the developer to exercise the option to pay a school construction fee was allowed to sunset in July Developments approved with the condition that a school construction fee be paid when homes are built must still meet that condition. New developments not meeting the Frederick County APFO school adequacy standards no longer have the option to pay a school construction fee. The capital budget includes no developer-funded projects. Impact on Operating New construction, modernizations, and systemic renovations help to reduce maintenance and utility costs by reducing operating funds required. FCPS reviews mechanical systems and seeks to replace outdated systems with new high efficiency multiple staged systems. For new construction, FCPS incorporates energy efficient systems and materials to ensure they attain LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification.
