Expenditure adjustments
The Interim Superintendent, Dr. Monique Felder, wrote two letters to the E&C Committee on 
April 29, 2024, detailing two areas of expenditure changes (see circles 27-30):
• Special education: The Interim Superintendent states that the Office of Special Education 
now estimates that an additional $5 million is needed in FY25 above the level represented 
in the Board of Education’s budget to meet the requirements of students’ Individualized 
Education Plans (IEPs). 
• Possible budget changes: The Interim Superintendent communicated possible areas 
where the budget could be adjusted below the level requested by the Board if needed to 
meet affordability levels set by the Council’s appropriation level. The letter identifies the 
following as possible approaches:
o Class Size: The letter estimates that an increase in class size of one student would 
achieve savings of $10.5 million; excluding Title I schools from this increase would 
result in savings of $7.3 million. 
o Staff Development Teachers: The letter proposes a reduction of the current 
allocation of staff development teachers from a full position at every school to a 0.5 
position at each school. MCPS estimates this would achieve a savings of 
$8.2 million; $6.1 million if Title I schools are exempted.
