Analysis of Howard County Maryland Expenditure on Public Schools, FY2009 – FY2025

by Anthony Debella

The factor discussed here is: HCPSS funding from the county divided by county total operating budget. I did not cross-check the data. However, I had similar conclusion when I was on the school board.

From the analysis, we can see that the share(percentage) of county funding used for HCPSS is decreasing over years, from high of 61% to 54% now. Now, 1% means 15 million dollars.

If the county could restore 61% operating budget to HCPSS, that is 15*7=105 million extra money for HCPSS.
