Because reserve funding is no longer available in the Construction Fund, the county must allocate $ 2 million of "new" money to maintain the recommended level of capital maintenance expenditure in FY ($1 million of reserves no longer available plus an increase of $1 million for FY ). DEPARTMENTAL PURPOSE Although public education is primarily a responsibility of the state, all counties are required to fund a portion of the operating and capital expenses for local public school systems. Most counties, including Guilford County, provide funding above and beyond the legal mandates. This additional funding is used to pay for local enhancements, such as extra teaching positions to reduce class sizes, teacher and staff salary supplements, and other programs and services in response to unique local needs. Please see the Guilford County Schools website at for more details about the school system and its services.

This appropriation increases the county s per pupil funding from $2,332 to $2,343. The allocation to the Guilford County Schools is based on the county Education Committee s funding formula discussions and considers the average percent change in current property tax revenues (an indicator of the county s capacity to fund expenses) and the number of GCS and charter school students (an indicator of the demand for school services) as a basis for future funding allocations.
