Chief Executive Officer’s Proposed Operating Budget

FY2019 Budget in Brief

My FY 2019 Proposed Operating Budget covering fiscal year July 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019 totals $2.1 billion, an increase of $131.5 million or 6.7% over the
current year approved budget of $1.975 billion.
This budget proposal builds upon the successes we have enjoyed over the last few years, as well as funding several key initiatives to ensure our students are safe,
supported and have access to a world class education. We also have devoted resources to ensure that all students share the same opportunities and each has the
chance to succeed. To this end, the FY 2019 budget focuses on achieving academic excellence, developing a high-performing workforce, increasing organizational
effectiveness, deepening our engagement with families and communities, and providing a safe and supportive school environment.
Of critical importance and focus in this budget proposal are student safety and staff training. We continue to implement and enhance many recommendations by the
Student Safety Task Force within this budget proposal. Preventative maintenance initiatives and student transportation are also receiving increased budget support.
To support academic excellence, we will focus on building literacy and numeracy skills as the foundation for future academic success. We will continue our efforts to
increase early childhood opportunities, provide a rigorous educational curriculum, and offer unparalleled programs of choice. This budget recommendation expands
all-day prekindergarten programs, and increases literacy and numeracy supports at all levels for students with the most need. This budget provides crucial funding
for the continuing expansions and implementations of key academic programs supporting our diverse student population, especially those whose native language is
not English. We will also continue to support arts integration and environmental literacy across the curriculum, and funding for our Student-Based Budgeting (SBB)
initiative.
To build a high-performing workforce, we will continue recruiting and retaining a talented workforce, with an increased focus on providing customer services and
student safety training for all staff and volunteers. We are committed to honoring our labor agreements and providing a competitive salary and benefits package for
employees. We have taken steps to streamline processes, increase efficiency and reduce costs where we can, such as negotiating lower costs with health care provid-
ers and reviewing key business processes.
Prince George’s County Public Schools has elevated its academic programs to new levels. Student enrollment continues to rise. Access to higher education and work-
place opportunities is expanding. We have an obligation to teach each and every child in a safe and secure learning environment. Teachers, administrators, support
staff, parents, elected officials and business leaders, working together as one community of resources, will help us meet the varied social and economic challenges
our children face.
We will provide every student with a world-class educational experience that prepares them for college and career opportunities. This proposed budget recommen-
dation is just one step in our journey to greatness.
