Garrett budget includes increase for school board

Funding at same level as fiscal 2014

Elaine Blaisdell

Cumberland Times-News

 

OAKLAND — Mostly Garrett County Board of Education staff attended a public hearing on the county’s fiscal 2015 operating and capital draft budget and most of the comments were based on funding for the board, according to Monty Pagenhardt, county administrator.
The county commissioners committed additional funding to the BOE that will maintain an operating funding level equal to that of fiscal 2014. The Garrett County Public School system was faced with a $2.2 million projected deficit for fiscal 2015 due to the loss of state funding and had initiated the required process to consider closing three elementary schools.
“The board of county commissioners then committed to a funding appropriation that would assure that the $2.2 million deficit would be eliminated,” said Pagenhardt. “This commitment by the county would prohibit the closing of these schools.”
The school system’s deficit would be funded by directing $1 million of the BOE’s escrowed funds in the Coalition Health Care Trust, $500,000 in additional county funding and $500,000 in potential state funding and a $200,000 reduction in current operating costs, according to Pagenhardt.
“The county had agreed that if the additional state funding was less than the projected total, the county would be responsible for the difference  — a net difference of $1 million,” said Pagenhardt. The county was also required to fund $235,544 in additional teacher pension costs for fiscal 2015.
The fiscal 2015 budget will confirm a $535,897 increase in operating funds to the BOE thanks to $464,103 in actual state funding, which equals the net difference of $1 million. The BOE is seeing a more than $770,000 increase for fiscal 2015, and funding of all other county agencies is being held at the same level or less this year, said Pagenhardt.
The draft budget contains an estimated $5.4 million difference in revenues and estimated expenditures, according to Pagenhardt.
“This is the biggest gap of revenue loss from one year to the next,” said Pagenhardt. “This was without a doubt the most difficult budget review and approval cycle that we have been faced with. Fortunately, our financial policy and past budget practices have positioned the county to maintain the high quality of public services that our residents, taxpayers and visitors ex-pect.”

Full economic study of Md. gas drilling due

TOWSON, Md. (AP) – Towson University researchers are preparing to release their full study of the prospective economic impact of hydraulic fracturing for natural gas in western Maryland.

The scheduled release on Tuesday follows a presentation earlier this month by the school’s Regional Economic Studies Institute to a state commission charged with making recommendations for safe use of the drilling technique.

The presentation to the panel said gas drilling could create as many as 3,600 jobs in Allegany and Garrett counties in the next decade.

But researchers said the boom would likely end in the late 2020s, and could leave the area less appealing to tourists and vacation-home buyers, especially near Deep Creek Lake.

O’Malley signs bill for added state funding to schools

Law mandates supplements for shortfalls in aid formula

Matthew Bieniek

Cumberland Times-News

CUMBERLAND — A bill that will aid Garrett County Public Schools and other school systems hit hard by the state school funding formula due to declining enrollments has been signed into law by Gov. Martin O’Malley.
The new law will supplement state funding by adding $464,103 for the coming year. The cash-strapped school system has been forced to consider school closures in the past few years.
“This should be very helpful to the school system and we are still waiting for the legislation introduced by both Del. (Wendell) Beitzel and I to pass that would help the county out financially until the wealth study is completed,” Sen. George Edwards has said. Edwards was the Senate sponsor of the bill.
A study of the wealth formula is planned to begin in the fall of 2014 and is slated to be complete in 2016. The existing state funding formula can hit school districts with declining student populations hard. The bill applies to the whole state, not just Garrett County.
“At the rate we have been impacted by the wealth formula … any help we can get from the state is appreciated,” said Janet Wilson, Garrett County superintendent of schools. The money will help the system move forward and restore some services that have been lost, she said.
The bill mandates the state to supplement shortfalls in the state aid formula. “For fiscal years 2015 through 2017, if a county board’s total direct education aid in the current fiscal year is less than the prior fiscal year, then the state shall provide a grant to the county board equal to 50 percent of the decrease in total direct education aid from the prior fiscal year to the current fiscal year,” according to the language of SB 534.
The state budget provides $1.7 million in aid for affected districts in fiscal 2015, according to a floor report on the bill by the Senate Budget and Taxation Committee.
