Leggett makes changes to fund school projects

"But the amendments are more of an aspiration than a reality, said Councilmember Craig Rice (D-2), head of the education committee. He said the council will get a better idea of realistic MCPS funding when Leggett sends the overall balanced budget to the council later this season.

“It is my assumption that the county executive is not going to be able to meet that full funding basically because we’re not going to be able to get that money from the state,” Rice said.

Rice said when the council receives the formal budget, they will then have to ask MCPS for a formal cut list of the order in which projects should be cut or delayed.

“They’re going to have to have some significant reductions,” he said.

As of October, MCPS had about 154,230 students enrolled, an increase of 16,485 students since 2007. MCPS also projects another 11,128 students enrolled by 2020 – growth that prompted Starr to describe the schools as “bursting at the seams.” "
