This is the time of year when the QACPS fine tunes the 2015 Budget Request that it will present to the QAC Commissioners in March. The School Board Superintendent and the Board Members confer on the needs of the system in a series of meetings which results in the Budget Request. The Commissioners will review this document and make their recommendations. This process concludes when the final Queen Anne’s County Budget is adopted in June.
The public is invited to participate in the process. The Budget Workshops and General Meetings are broadcast on QACTV Channel 7 and available online at qactv.com. Direct links for the February 5th Board Meeting and the February 10th Budget Workshop videos may be found at the QACPS Website Budget page mentioned below.
The public is encouraged to make comments and suggestions about the Budget at our website: qacps.org. Click on “QAC Board of Education Budget Request for Fiscal Year 2015” in the Headlines section in the middle of the page. The Budget page features links to the printable Budget Request document as well as links to the Meeting videos. The easiest way to access all this information is by going to the Budget page at https://qacps.schoolwires.net/budget.request.fy2015
Comments may be made at the same page. Comments may be anonymous if so desired. All comments will be read and shared with staff and Board Members.
We hope citizens take advantage of this opportunity to review the 2015 Budget Request and share their input.
