Capital Projects Fund The Baltimore County Public Schools Capital Budget consists of two separate and distinct sources of funding. They are allocated from Baltimore County Government and the State of Maryland. Baltimore County Government Funding provided by Baltimore County Government is based on a two-year budget cycle. The adopted budget for FY2013 totals $26,076,312. The six-year capital program for FY2013 through FY2018 has projected funding of $374,951,312. State of Maryland Funding is provided from the Public School Construction Program administered by the State of Maryland on an annual basis. Funds are requested for certain projects and must meet strict standards according to state regulations. State funding will only match up to 50% of the total construction costs of a project. An application and appeal process is in place, and all twenty-three counties and Baltimore City compete for the available funds as determined by the governor and the state legislature. State funding of $43,300,000 has been adopted for FY2013. Highlights A renovation program began in FY1999 to modernize basic infrastructure at all schools. Currently, ninety-eight elementary schools, twenty-six middle schools and four special schools have been completed. State funding of $17,485,975 has been approved for the construction of a new Dundalk High School and Sollers Point Technical High School. The state had previously funded $12,983,000 for that project. The school is scheduled to open in August 2013. State funding of $2,434,095 was approved for the limited renovation and addition at Milford Mill Academy. The state had previously funded $4,820,000 for the project. Parkville High School also was approved for $1,715,000 in state funding for a limited renovation and addition project. The state had previously funded $8,739,000 for the project. $1,339,930 was approved from the state for the renovation and addition project at Hereford High School. $5,646,000 in state funding and $7,510,000 in additional county funding was approved for the construction of a 200-seat addition and a total renovation of the existing Stoneleigh Elementary School. This project will be completed for the opening of school in August 2013. $1,500,000 was approved by the state for a new 700-seat elementary school to be located in the Lutherville area of the County. The County approved $2,560,000 in FY2013 for this project and $16,000,000 in FY2012. Impact on Operating Budget Systemic improvements such as HVAC upgrades including the replacement of old boilers with new higher efficiency boilers, plumbing and electrical improvements and roof renovations, help minimize operating funds required for maintenance and energy usage. Replacement of old windows with new thermal, energy efficient window systems help with the reduction in energy usage at the schools. $49,000 is included in the FY2013 operating budget request to purchase supplies for the opening of the additions at Hampton and Stoneleigh Elementary Schools. The operating budget also includes additional custodial positions and utility fees for the increased square footage of classroom space that will be opened in FY2013. QZAB This federal program supports state borrowing for capital maintenance projects in schools with at least 35% of its students eligible for free and reduced price meals.
