Baltimore County Public Schools Superintendent Myriam Rogers presented her proposed $2.58 billion operating budget for the fiscal year 2025, a 21% increase compared with the previous year.
Rogers’ first budget request as superintendent comes as Maryland prepares for a slowing economy and federal coronavirus pandemic funding is set to expire this year. Mandated changes required by the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future, the state’s landmark education reform plan, remain, while the district will receive a smaller percentage of state funding for the programs.
“This budget has been challenging,” Rogers said Monday during an hourlong presentation in the auditorium of George Washington Carver Center for Art and Technology. County Executive Johnny Olszewski Jr., state legislators and members of the county Board of Education were in attendance.
