BOARD OF EDUCATION OF HARFORD COUNTY

Approval of the Board of Educations

Fiscal Year 2015 Unrestricted Operating Budget

June 4, 2014

Background Information:

In January 2014, the Harford County Public School (HCPS) Board of Education(BOE) approved a Proposed Unrestricted Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2015 totaling$454,174,160. This proposal included a request for new funding from Harford County

Government totaling $31,990,220.

In April 2014, the County Executive released the Proposed Harford CountyBudget for Fiscal Year 2015 which included $2,366,573 in new local operating fundingfor HCPS. On Tuesday, May 27, the Harford County Council approved the Fiscal Year2015 Budget for Harford County including new funding for HCPS in the amount of$2,366,573. The balance of the request $29,623,647 was unfunded. The BOE proposedbudget for fiscal year 2015 must be amended accordingly (Amendment R1).

In addition, Maryland State revenue figures have declined by $35,100 since thepreparation of the BOE Proposed FY15 Budget in January (Amendment R2).

Discussion:

To balance theBoard of Educations

Proposed Fiscal Year 2015 UnrestrictedOperating Budget to actual funding levels, the following amendments are proposed:


2/21

Proposed Amendments to BOE Proposed Operating Budget for FY2015:

*In the 2013-2014 school year, the Board of Education implemented interscholastic athletic fees and

provided a waiver of fees to students qualifying for the Free and Reduced Meal Program (FARMS). (Atotal of 852 student athletes qualified for the FARMS waiver.) During this same period, overallenrollment in the Free and Reduced Meal Program increased by 675 students, providing $1,575,687 inadditional funding to HCPS for fiscal year 2015. If the interscholastic athletic fees are not reinstated forthe 2014-2015 school year, there is a potential for HCPS to experience a decline in FARMS applicationsnext year. This would result in a decrease in Maryland State Compensatory (FARMS) Aid for fiscal year2016.

1 28.0 FTE Elementary Classroom Teachers - To restore elementary school teaching positions to the staffinglevel of the 2012 - 2013 school year. This wil l reduce the 2014-15 class sizes in kindergarten through 5thgrade. With current staffing, 28 classes are projected to be between 26 and 31 students. The addition of 28.0teachers will support the effort to maintain class sizes of under 25 students. 28.0 1,775,749 (28.0) (1,775,749) - -

2 17.5 FTE Middle School Teaching Positions - To restore middle school teaching positions to the staffinglevel of the 2012 - 2013 school year inorder to maintain programs and to alleviate class sizes. The reduction

in middle school positions has been accompanied by class size increases and limiting of course offerings,particularly in the areas of Unified Arts, physical education, and classes serving upper level students. The

capacity to offer needed reading intervention for at risk students has been adversely affected. Music teacherscannot offer individual lessons which will reduce the quality of the music program and limit opportunities fortalented students. World Languages offerings have been negatively impacted. The loss of a technology

integration teacher has reduced the implementation of technology across content areas. 17.5 1,109,844 (17.5) (1,109,844) - -

3 25.0 FTE High School Teaching Positions - To restore high school teaching positions to the staffing level ofthe 2012 - 2013 school year in order to maintain programs and to alleviate class sizes. The reduction in highschool positions has been accompanied by class size increases, diminished course offerings for upper leveland at r isk students, and a reduction in elective areas. Many class sizes exceed 30, which limits teacher

capacity to offer individual assistance and creates potential for safety issues in classes such as technologyeducation and physical education. Class sizes have also risen in math and reading intervention classes , andsome schools have had to eliminate certain interventions. Schools have had to limit upper level science and

Advanced Placement program course offerings; participation in such course offering had grown to where forSY 2011-12 seven of nine comprehens ive HCPS high schools had made the Washington Post lis t of Americas top high schools. Student opportunites are affected as programs with lower rates of participationwere cut or are at r isk of being cut, and the elective program has been affected. Many more classes are

being taught by teachers assigned outside of their content areas. 25.0 1,585,489 (25.0) (1,585,489) - -

7 1.0 FTE School Nurse -A second float nurse is requested to assist in covering schools during emergenciesand supporting large schools that lack team nurse support. Currently, HCPS has one float nurse, but therehave been occasions when the float nurse is placed at a school and a second need arises in another building.Generally, the Nurse Coordinator will cover emergency needs or secure a substitute nurse when the float

nurse is unavailable, but this has proved problematic. Additionally, we have two elementary schools and twohigh schools that receive no additional help and exceed our 1:750 nurse-to-student ratio. This year, we havebeen challenged by several students who require complex treatments during the school day, and these health

suites necessitate additional nurse support to avoid closing the health suite for an extended period of time.The second float nurse would also be used to support our vision and hearing screening program. Many of our

schools are challenged to complete the mandated screenings while managing very busy health suites; anadditional float nurse would provide the necessary assistance.
