5 Budget-at-a-Glance Operating Budget Highlights The Superintendent s recommended fiscal year 2019 (FY2019) operating budget totals $604,467,837, reflecting an increase of $25,952,306 or 4.5% over the FY2018 operating budget. The Superintendent s recommended budget is a base budget including essential costs such as inflationary increases, mandatory increases and negotiated items. In addition to this recommended budget, the Superintendent has worked with senior leaders to create a new request list should additional funding be available. The new request list totaling $3,438,564 begins on page 13. The recommended budget was created with the intent to align with the Board of Education s strategic plan, outlined on page 3. The Superintendent s recommended budget includes expenditures needed to continue providing quality educational services to the children of Frederick County for FY2019, reflecting the feedback obtained by engaging public education stakeholders from all sectors. The recommended budget has $18.3 million more in expenditures than revenues. Should one-time funding be available from the County, the Superintendent hopes consideration will be given to a one-time transfer to assist FCPS in the replacement of access and distribution infrastructure required to operate the FCPS computer and phone network. To begin the replacement of outdated equipment requires $1.8 million. Over the next several months, the Superintendent will continue to work with the Board of Education to balance the budget as revenues are more firmly established and expenditure requests are vetted. Revenue Highlights The county allocation, excluding in-kind services, of $265.2 million represents the Maintenance of Effort (MOE) level of funding required under state law. The MOE funding increased by $4.9 million from FY2018 due to the increase in student enrollment. The state revenue estimate is $6.5 million more than the FY2018 state revenue. This estimated increase is the result of increases in general student enrollment, as well as increases in all identified enrollment sub-categories. Changes to other sources of funding are due to the decrease in fund balance available in FY2019. Expenditure Highlights Reversals and Adjustments: The $1.6 million in reversals and adjustments are the one-time funding amounts for the PeopleSoft Financial upgrade, costs associated with new positions in FY2018 and phase one decentralization of the English Learners program. Enrollment: In FY2019, enrollments are projected to increase once again, requiring a significant increase in expenditures related to enrollment. At our traditional schools, staffing increases are based on current staffing formulas. At our charter schools, there is an anticipated increase in their per pupil allocation due to increase in their corresponding enrollment. FCPS has also included an increase in custodial staff for opening the new Butterfly Ridge Elementary and additional operational needs throughout the system. These changes equate to an increase of full time equivalent positions and two buses at a cost of $6.8 million. Continuation of Programs and Services (including mandated items): The $2.8 million increase in this area includes funding needed for health and dental insurance increases due to inflation and new retirees; recognition of increase in charter school per pupil allocation from FY2018; increase in workers compensation premiums; increase in cost of epi-pens; increase in tuition reimbursement for staff members; the addition of an Information Security Analyst; increases to contracted services for several departments; and other miscellaneous increases. These increases are mitigated by savings due to employee turnover. Complete details of the adjustments in this category are on pages 11 and 12. Salary Resource Pool: In FY2017, the Board and the Frederick County Teacher s Association (FCTA) agreed on a new target teacher pay scale. The transition to this new pay scale was to be implemented in four fiscal years beginning in FY2017. The recommended salary resource pool of $17.9 million is the salary and fringe cost for the third year of the transition as well as the associated costs for the other bargaining units. The salary resource pool is subject to negotiations and funding availability. New Requests: There are $3.4 million in new requests for FY2019. The largest increases are textbooks, a Learning Management System, contracted services in our maintenance departments, and other requests. A full list of the new requests begins on page 13.

6 Budget-at-a-Glance Budget-at-a-Glance Enrollment Trends Different enrollment figures are used for different portions of the budget. Adjusted actual September 30 enrollments are used for revenue calculations for both state and local (county) funding. Adjusted enrollment was 40, students for the FY2019 calculations, more than the 39, adjusted enrollment for FY2018. Specific sub-categories of enrollment are also used for portions of the state funding formula. These sub-category enrollments are based on adjusted actual enrollments as of October 31 each year. Students receiving free and reduced-priced meals, students identified as English Learners (EL), special education students and special education students receiving transportation services increased by 9, 376, 175 and 46 students respectively from October 31, 2016 to October 31, Projected enrollments are used for planning and budgeting for staffing in the upcoming fiscal year. The FY2018 projected general enrollment was 41,876 and projected general enrollment for FY2019 is 42,922, an increase of 1,046 students. Projected EL students for FY2019 are 2,900, an increase of 200 students over the FY2018 projections. These projected enrollment figures are used to calculate the positions as noted in the enrollment portion of expenditure highlights. Factors Influencing the Budget Student enrollment Staffing ratios for elementary, middle and high schools Formula-based allocations for schools, including materials of instruction Prekindergarten enrollment with no state or county funding Federal and state mandates Charter school allocations Transitioning and restructuring salary costs related to new pay scales that result from contract negotiations Increase in complexity and severity of special education services Continued increase in English Learners students Post-employment benefits funding Continued demand for building maintenance projects Changing technology, the desire to equitably distribute technology and meeting the infrastructure needs created by the new technology Pension and other benefit-related costs Continued increases in programs and contracted services Uncertain state revenue allocations Utility costs Page 2 Frederick County Public Schools Superintendent s Fiscal 2019 Recommended Operating Budget

9 FY2019 Estimated Operating Revenues In this recommended budget 94.75% of the school system s revenues are from the State of Maryland and Frederick County governments.

10 Financial Information FY2019 Estimated Operating Expenditures The FY2019 Superintendent s Recommended Budget totals $604,467,837, an increase of $25.9 million or 4.5% compared to the FY2018 budget. The expenditure increase is attributable to staffing costs associated with increased student enrollment, as well as increased employee benefit costs. In addition, $17.9 million represents the transitioning and restructuring of the pay scales. These increases are partially offset by salary savings due to staff turnover. How the Budget Is Spent The majority of the operating budget, 87.4%, funds employee salaries and benefits. Total compensation and benefits account for over $528.2 million. Included in the benefits for employees is $1.0 million contribution to the Other Post-Employee Benefits (OPEB) trust fund, which sets aside funds for future payments of retirement benefits. The remaining 12.6%, or $76.2 million, of operating budget is allocated to non-compensation costs, including: Utilities Transportation services, including bus purchases, repairs and fuel Instructional supplies and materials for schools Maintenance costs for buildings, contracted services, supplies and equipment Technology services and computers Tuition for special education students attending nonpublic schools Operating Fund Expenditures FY2017 through FY Expenditures Millions of Dollars FY17 FY18 FY19 Approved Approved Recommended FY 2017 Approved FY 2018 Approved FY 2019 Superintendent Recommended Non-Personnel Expenditures Benefits Salaries Total Dollars in millions (rounded) Page 6 Frederick County Public Schools Superintendent s Fiscal 2019 Recommended Operating Budget

11 Financial Information The Maryland State Department of Education has standardized the various categories of expenditures for the 24 school systems in Maryland.

24 Other Information The Budget Process and How You Can Participate There are many ways Frederick County residents can participate in developing, reviewing and providing feedback regarding the school system s budget. Wed, Feb 14 BOE work session and approval of FY2019 operating budget request to county Budget Process and Schedule Overview of the Budget Process Preparing the FCPS operating budget is virtually a yearround process. Each fall, school system staff members begin discussing priorities, and managers begin to compile budget requests for the next fiscal year. Supervisors review and adjust the preliminary requests before submitting them to the school system s Budget Office; the Superintendent and other officials review them. After careful consideration of the school system needs and public feedback about priorities, the Superintendent recommends an operating budget to the Board of Education (BOE) in January. The BOE holds work sessions, regular meetings and a public hearing before submitting its budget request to the County Executive in February. The BOE may amend its budget request, and the County Executive may consider the amendments before the final budget is approved. The County Executive will hold a public hearing on the county s operating budget in March. The County Council will hold a public hearing on the county s operating budget in April and adopt it by May 31. To respond to budget issues, the BOE may hold additional meetings during the latter part of the county s budget-review process. The BOE adopts the detailed school system budget in June; the budget takes effect July 1. Public Meetings and Budget Timeline FCPS encourages the public to attend hearings and to provide written and/or oral testimony.
