Maintenance of Effort

20

SLIDE 21

Maintenance of Effort

The county is required to provide as much funding for

the new fiscal year as they did in the prior year, on a per pupil basis.

For several years within the last decade, QACPS was

funded at the minimum level required by the Maintenance of Effort law.

For FY 2021 calculations, Queen Anne’s County had

the 2nd highest increase in Wealth Per Pupil (5.8%) in the state.

21

SLIDE 22

Maintenance of Effort

Education Effort – For FY2020 the County’s Education Effort (1.22%) was not as great as the 5-year moving average for Statewide Education Effort (1.30%), therefore an additional amount of MOE was imposed. Which is: The lesser of:

County’s increase in local wealth per pupil: 5.8%
Statewide average increase in local wealth per pupil: 4.5%
2.5%
For FY 2021, the maximum allowed by law of 2.5% is applied to the per

pupil funding amount for FY 2020

FY 2020 – Per pupil funding - $7,934.04
FY 2021 – Per pupil funding - $8,132.39

We are requesting full funding of this budget…

44

SLIDE 45

45

Without full funding:

Full funding of negotiated compensation increases in

jeopardy

Possible Staff Reductions
Core instruction program resources may be stopped
Staffing - Recruitment & Retention problems
Minimum wage compliance issue
No instructional program improvements
State and Federal reporting and compliance issues
Continued underfunding of key services – Special

Education and Transportation

SLIDE 46

46

Without full funding: We remain Status quo

Status quo is Latin for "existing state.” When we talk about the status quo, however, we often mean it in a negative way. When people want to maintain the status quo, they are often resistant to progress and moving forward.
