Table of Contents

The primary sections of the FY2020 Proposed Operating Budget book provide a comprehensive overview of the BCPS budget. A letter from the interim superintendent and a thorough discussion of the budget are included in the Introductory section. The Organization section describes the organization's structure, provides an explanation of the budget process and presents the organization's vision, mission and goals. Detailed revenue, expenditure and fund balance information is provided for each major fund in the Financial section. The Information section provides historical information at the school and office level, as well as performance measures based on the key strategies of the Blueprint 2.0. A glossary defines acronyms and other budget terms used throughout the book.

In addition to the primary sections of the book, supplementary sections are provided to summarize the funding and personnel for all organization units in the school system. BCPS is organized in the following six major divisions:

- Schools - Board of Education - Superintendent - The Division of Business Services - The Division of Curriculum and Instruction - Special Revenue (Grants)

The following description of the supplementary sections of the book is included to help locate specific budget requests or items:

The Schools section includes a summary of the budget for instructional salaries and positions, non-salary budget data based on projected enrollment, a brief explanation of the allocation of non-salary funds to schools, and staffing guidelines. The positions in this section are allocated to specific schools prior to the beginning of the school year based on the staffing guidelines.

General Fund requests for offices and schools are located under their respective divisions. For example, the Department of Transportation's budget appears under the Division of Business Services.

Each division begins with a brief description of the division, budget by object categories, budget history graphs, and a budget summary. Divisions provide a higher-level summary of the budget.

Following division summaries, department and office pages include Mission Statements, Department Objectives and Budget Highlights. The Budget Highlights offer a brief explanation of major changes from the FY2019 budget to the FY2020 budget. Budgets for each department and office are subdivided into objects of expenditures. The objects are Salaries and Wages, Contracted Services, Supplies and Materials, Other Charges, and Equipment. Full-Time Equivalent (FTEs) position counts are identified as professional or support personnel.

The Special Revenue Fund section represents the appropriations for anticipated grants. The Special Revenue Fund aligns grants by program. Grant descriptions, revenue sources, and planned spending information are included in this section.

Several tables that present the budget according to Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) categories are included in the Supporting Documentation.
