Board votes to forward FY27 operating budget proposal to county commissioners
Summary
The board voted to forward its FY27 operating budget proposal to the county administrator and commissioners for allocation decisions, with staff to return with updated figures after county allocations are known and a final board vote expected later in the budget season.
The Queen Anne's County Board of Education voted on Feb. 25 to send its proposed FY27 operating budget to the county administrator and commissioners for consideration.
"Make a motion for the Queen Anne's County Board to approve the fiscal year 20 27 operating budget as discussed," Speaker 2 said; the motion was seconded by the Chair. Staff explained that after the commissioners set an allocation the district will return to the board with an updated budget and likely hold a final vote in June.
A staff member summarized next steps: the board's proposal is submitted to the county, the county will set allocations during the budget season, and the district will adjust and bring a final budget back to the board for approval. Board members debated strategy—whether to present a single 'ask' for the full amount the district deems necessary or to submit multiple options to give commissioners flexibility—but members generally agreed to forward the full request as presented so the district can later negotiate or adjust once allocations are known.
The motion to forward the operating budget passed with members voicing their approval. Board staff said they will meet with the county administrator as the county prepares its proposed budget and will return to the board when the county's allocation is released.
