[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guys. The County Council is not going to give MCPS more money. They already increased MCPS's budget by a lot and had to cut other things to do it. If you want more money for schools, we need economic growuth to bring more revenue.[/quote] How was MoCo able to fund MCPS so much better in the past?[/quote] They weren’t. In the last 18 years, Council only gave MCPS 100% funding 4 times. It’s often just 98% of what they asked for. MCPS received 99.2% of what they asked for this time but mismanagement of funds and staff have led to this mess.[/quote] Adjusted for inflation, MoCo spent about $5k more per student in 2000 than we do today.[/quote] Where are you getting these numbers? In 2000 the operating budget was $1.1 billion and enrollment was 131,000. That works out to $8,400 per student or about $15,600 per student in 2024 dollars. Current per pupil funding is about $20,000. [/quote]
