At the start of the 2013 – 2014 school year, the budget process began internally with a significantly different conversation. All HCPS employees were given the opportunity to provide their thoughts on potential cost-saving, revenue-generating, and cost avoidance measures. In addition, an employee-only budget open forum session was held to allow employees the opportunity to provide their input directly to the Superintendent.

From there, the public was fully-engaged in the process. In addition to two public open forums, the dedicated budget email account, budget@hcps.org, was open for all interested community members to provide feedback in any form they felt appropriate. The email remained open until this Board voted on the final approved budget for FY2015.

The Superintendent and her Leadership Team spent countless hours reviewing and considering, in great detail, each proposal, suggestion and idea. Thoughtful consideration was given to each idea and many of the ideas were incorporated into this budget request. We heard very clearly from the public and our employees that our focus must be on the academic needs of our students and restoring our employees to a competitive wage package within the job market. With that in mind, the FY 2015 operating budget was driven by four core objectives: preserving the integrity of the instructional programs, preserving jobs, restoring our salary structure to ensure it is competitive with other systems, and preserving employee benefits.

The Board of Education’s budget for FY 2015 was approved by the board on June 9, 2014 and by the Harford County Council on September 2, 2014.
