April 16, 2026: County Executive Klausmeier Releases FY 2027 Operating Budget Proposal
Dear Team BCPS—
This morning, County Executive Kathy Klausmeier presented her Fiscal Year 2027 operating budget to the Baltimore County Council. We are grateful for County Executive Klausmeier’s unwavering support of Baltimore County Public Schools and for proposing to fund the system above Maintenance of Effort (MOE), the minimum amount county government is required to fund. The FY27 budget proposal recommends an overall 4.5 percentage ($44.5 million) increase above MOE. It includes $9.3 million in additional funding for BCPS allowing us to restore critical school-based positions, as well as $5.4 million above the Board’s proposed budget to support increased healthcare and pension expenses.
We appreciate County Executive Klausmeier’s proposed additional funding for Team BCPS and thank her for her steadfast commitment. This investment supports our students, workforce, and key priorities across the system.
The County Council will review and take action on the proposed budget in May. We will keep you updated as the budget moves through the process.
Regards,
Dr. Myriam Rogers
Superintendent
