To the Citizens of Frederick County, Maryland:
In compliance with the Public Laws of the State of Maryland, Frederick County Public Schools (FCPS) presents the Adopted Budgets for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2016, and ending June 30, 2017 (FY 2017). Budgets are presented for the following funds: General and Restricted (referred to as the Operating Budget), Self-Insurance, Food and Nutrition Services, and Capital Projects. The Adopted Operating Budget for FY 2017 totals $555,825,971, an $11.3 million dollar, or 2%, increase over the previous year’s budget. This budget includes expenditures that the Superintendent and Board of Education believe are needed to continue to provide quality educational services to the children of Frederick County. This budget was also created with the intent to align with the Board’s long-term strate-gic plan. It reflects the feedback obtained during numerous town hall meetings and extensive public engagement.
The FCPS Operating Budget was proposed by the Superintendent of Schools and reviewed by the Board of Education. The Board’s budget request was submitted to the County Executive. The County Executive then made recommen-dations and forwarded the budget to the County Council. The County Council reviewed and approved the recommen-dations from the County Executive which then established the revenues for the FCPS Operating Budget. The county allocated $258.3 million in FY 2017, which represents $10.5 million above Maintenance of Effort (MOE). State funding was $266.9 million; and the remaining sources of funding included $19.3 million in federal funds, $6.6 million from prior year fund balance, and $4.7 million from various fees, tuition, and interest.
This budget book is organized into four separate sections – Introductory Section, Organizational Section, Financial Section, and Informational Section.
The Introductory Section provides an Executive Summary of the complete financial picture of FCPS, as well as highlights and analyses regarding staffing and enrollment data and information on the budget process.
The Organizational Section presents the FCPS Five-Year Strategic Plan, the FCPS Master Plan, and additional infor-mation to help the reader understand the future direction of FCPS.
The Financial Section includes detailed data on the revenues and expenses of FCPS on multiple levels such as by fund, division, department, and program.
The Informational Section contains a wealth of current and historical demographic data that provides the reader a context for interpreting information throughout the book.
The preparation of this document could not have been accomplished without the skilled and dedicated services of the entire staff in the Department of Budget and Finance. Our appreciation is also extended to Communication Ser-vices, the Accounting Department, and anyone who assisted in the preparation of this report. We also recognize the Board of Education members for their continuing support for maintaining the highest standards of professionalism in the management of FCPS’s finances.

BOARD OF EDUCATION OF FREDERICK COUNTYIn Frederick County, seven elected members and one student member of the Board of Education (BOE) and the Superintendent of Schools work together as the school system governance team. The members of the BOE elect one member to serve as President and one to serve as Vice President during the annual meeting in December by individually recorded vote.
The Board of Education sets policy not otherwise controlled by federal and state laws. It also oversees expenditures from county, state, and federal sources.
The BOE hires and reviews the work of the Superintendent, monitors implementation of the school system’s strategic plan, and gives final approval to curriculum matters and materials, staff appointments, equipment purchases, land acquisitions and school construction, renovations, and repairs.
Elected BOE members serve four-year staggered terms. The student member is a high school student selected by the Frederick County Association of Student Councils.
As the chief executive officer of the Frederick County Public Schools, the Superintendent serves as the system’s curricular, fiscal, and community leader. The Superintendent is responsible for assuring that the school system carries out Maryland public laws relating to schools; the Maryland State Department of Education’s bylaws and policies; and the local school Board’s mission, goals, and policies. The Superintendent also serves as secretary-treasurer to the Board of Education.

About Frederick County Public Schools
For the 2016-17 school year, Frederick County Public Schools (FCPS) will operate 66 schools and serve approximately 40,819 students. We have 36 elementary schools (prekindergarten-grade 5), 13 middle schools (grades 6-8), 10 high schools (grades 9-12), 4 special schools, and 3 charter schools. Plans are underway to add two more elementary schools in the next three years. Additionally, we provide programs and alternative learning environments in the areas of gifted and advanced learners, English for speakers of other languages, and extensive intervention and special education opportunities and services. Nurses, counselors, psychologists, pupil personnel workers, speech pathologists, therapists, and other professional staff enhance our academic program, as do clerical, maintenance, custodial, and many other support employees. We are a people-rich organization, and our success depends heavily on our human resources.
The Board of Education of Frederick County is the elected body, corporate and politic, established under Maryland law to provide public education to children in prekindergarten through grade 12 residing within the borders of Frederick County, Maryland. The Board is composed of seven at-large members serving four-year terms and one student member serving a one-year term. The Board determines educational policy and employs a superintendent of schools to administer the school system.
FCPS is a successful school system in a diverse and growing community. Frederick County bridges rural, suburban, and urban lifestyles near both the Washington, DC, and Baltimore metropolitan communities. The racial/ethnic composition of the student body is White: 63.5%; Hispanic/Latino: 14.3%; Black: 11.4%; Asian: 5.2%; 2 or more races: 4.9%; American Indian/Alaskan Native: 0.5%; and Pacific Islander/Native Hawaiian: 0.2%. We serve students with varying needs, including students receiving special education services (11%), English Language Learners (7%), and students receiving Free and/or Reduced Price Meal Services (26%).
With approximately 6,000 employees, including 2,900 teachers, FCPS is the largest single employer in Frederick County. Our buses travel approximately seven million miles of city, suburban, and rural roadways annually. We operate and maintain approximately 6.6 million square feet under roof and more than 1,400 acres of property.
FCPS fulfills the promise of public education by working to meet every child’s needs. More and more mandated changes, along with the inflation we experience, mean that education dollars go shorter and shorter distances. Our average cost per student as calculated by the Maryland State Department of Education is the seventh lowest of the 24 school districts in the state.

Frederick County Public Schools FY 2016 Operating Budget10
Introductory
Our community has reason to be proud of its public education system and its proven success providing an excellent education for every child. FCPS continues to maintain a high graduation rate (93.5%) and a low dropout rate (3.5%), second lowest in Maryland. FCPS students who take the SAT consistently yield higher mean scores in critical reading, mathematics, and critical writing when compared to the state or nation. Student attendance at FCPS was higher than the state when compared across all school levels. However, for the amount spent per student, FCPS ranks in the bottom tier of Maryland’s 24 school districts. An independent audit of FCPS’s 2016 financial oversight and control resulted in a clean, unmodified report.

Budget and Financial Management
Basis of AccountingThe FCPS Unrestricted Fund, Restricted Fund, Food and Nutrition Services Fund, and School Construction Fund are reported using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible with the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, FCPS considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability or encumbrance is incurred as under accrual accounting, except for principal and interest on capital leases, and expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, which are recorded only when payment is due. Capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds from capital leases are reported as other financing sources. All unencumbered appropriations lapse at year-end except for the School Construction Fund that is carried forward until such time as the project is completed or terminated and certain federal and state grants that do not have a June 30 year-end date.
The Self-Insurance Fund (Internal Service Fund) is used to account for the costs of maintaining FCPS self-insured health and dental programs. This fund distinguishes operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. The principal operating revenue of the FCPS Self-Insurance Fund is charges to customers for service. Operating expenses include the costs of services and administrative expenses. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
FCPS maintains a system of budgeting and accounting structure that meets the state mandate for local school systems. This system follows the guidelines established in the Financial Reporting Manual for Maryland Public Schools. Maryland law stipulates a Current Expense Fund composed of the general fund and all special revenue funds except the Food Service Fund. For FCPS, the Current Expense Fund consists of the Unrestricted Fund and the Restricted Fund, also referred to in this document as the Operating Budget. The Operating Budget covers the cost of providing and supporting day-to-day activities in the schools.
The School Construction Fund, for capital projects, is used to account for all financial resources related to construction of school sites and buildings and other major capital facilities. The Food and Nutrition Services Fund is a Special Revenue Fund used to account for the activities of the school food and nutrition services program. The Self-Insurance Fund, an Internal Service Fund, is used to account for the costs of maintaining FCPS self-insurance health and dental programs.

Introductory
Cash Management State statute governs FCPS’s investment policies. The Maryland Annotated Code Section 6-222 outlines the permissible investments and investment standards that FCPS follows.
FCPS maintains five main accounts with PNC Bank for normal operating needs. All FCPS balances are insured or registered (collateralized). FCPS also maintains two zero balance accounts (ZBA) with PNC. The payroll and imprest accounts are zero balance with the General Fund Account as the concentration account.
Excess funds over the immediate operating needs for all funds are kept in money market accounts with our main bank or with the Maryland Local Government Investment Plan (MLGIP). In FY 2016, the average rate earned on investments in MLGIP was .37%, and the average interest rate earned on money market accounts in PNC was .05%.
Risk Management The Board is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts: theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; error and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. FCPS has a program of self-insuring group health and dental benefits provided to its employees and retirees. FCPS participates with 16 other school districts in the State of Maryland to form the Maryland Association of Boards of Education Workers’ Compensation Group Self-Insurance Fund. This fund provides workers’ compensation coverage for participating school boards. FCPS purchases commercial insurance to provide coverage for property, boiler, general liability, life, vehicle liability, physical damage, and miscellaneous coverage such as bonds and accident insurance. FCPS transports approximately 30,000 students to and from school utilizing a fleet of over 340 route buses. FCPS attempts to prevent accidents through strict bus driver screening and ongoing training programs. These programs include compliance with U.S. Department of Transportation drug testing requirements, mandatory annual in-service training, follow-up training after accidents, and emergency evacuation procedures training. The cost of these coverages is include in the fixed charges and operations categories of the Operating Budget.
Budget Policies FCPS is required to annually prepare and submit a budget that is in legal conformance with Maryland state law. The Board-adopted budgets are submitted to the County Executive and County Council. The County Council may vote to approve or change the budgets. Any budget submitted to the County Council are deemed to be approved after 30 days if no formal vote is taken.
The school system chart of accounts fulfills state reporting requirements. The chart of account consists of these 15 major categories of expenditures:
Administration Student Transportation Mid-Level Administration Operation of Plant Instructional Salaries and Wages Maintenance of Plant Instructional Textbooks/Supplies Fixed Charges Other Instructional Costs Food Service Special Education Community Service Student Personnel Services Capital Outlay Student Health Services
Revenues may be received from many sources. Maryland statute mandated revenue categories are:
Local Appropriation State Revenue Federal Revenue Other Revenue
FCPS is not permitted to spend more than the appropriated operating budget or capital projects budget. Division and department managers are responsible for assuring that planned expenditures are within expenditure categories delineated by Maryland State Department of Education. During the year, expenditures are monitored and compared to the budget. Interim financial reports are prepared and distributed to the Board.
Budget transfers between categories in the operating budget and between projects in the capital budget cannot legally be executed without County Council approval. Increasing the total funds appropriated to the operating budget requires County Council approval prior to additional spending.
Frederick County Public Schools FY 2016 Operating Budget15
Introductory
The budget includes a budget for each fund with the exception of the Artificial Turf Fund, Retiree Health Benefit Plan, and the School Activity Fund.
The Budget ProcessMaryland statutes require that a budget be legally adopted for the Operating Budget and the School Construction Fund. Maryland boards of education have no taxing authority, so our public school systems depend extensively on state and local governments for revenue. State funding is established primarily during the annual January-April legislative session of the General Assembly, and funds are administered through the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE). Pursuant to state law, Frederick County provides significant fiscal support to FCPS. Due to this fiscal reliance, much of the budget process is built around the County budget timeline. Preparing the operating budget involves school system staff as well as citizen participation. In the fall requests are submitted and reviewed by the Superintendent and other school officials. After consideration, in January the Superintendent recommends to the Board of Education an operating budget for the coming fiscal year that is aligned with our strategic plan. Board members review the proposal, may make changes if they desire, take it to public hearing in February, and then reevaluate and modify it accordingly before forwarding it to the County Government. The County Executive recommends and the County Council approves the allocation to the Board of Education (BOE). Then the BOE adopts the detailed school system budget that takes effect July 1.
Budget OverviewThe FY 2017 budgets outlined in this document reflect our commitment to allocate our resources to meet the targets defined in the strategic plan. They cover the cost of providing and supporting day-to-day activities in our schools: instructional materials and supplies; program and services; salaries for teachers, administrators, and other staff; transportation; facility maintenance; and technology.

Introductory
Operating BudgetThe Unrestricted Fund and Restricted Fund combined are commonly referred to as the Operating Budget. The adopted fiscal year 2017 operating budget totals $555,825,971, an increase of $11,295,555 or 2% over the fiscal year 2016 operating budget. The State of Maryland and Frederick County are the primary sources of revenue for Frederick County Public Schools. These two funding sources are significantly affected by property assessments and personal income. Together, state revenues and Frederick County appropriation account for over 94% of the total operating budget funding. State revenues are $2.3 million or just under one percent higher than FY 2016. Frederick County revenue of $258.3 million is 3.3% more than the prior year.
While this budget includes additional staffing for English Language Learner students, staffing to mitigate class size, a full-year salary adjustment, funds to support increased health benefit costs, and added teacher pension cost, it falls short in meeting the BOE budget request.
Unrestricted Fund (General Fund)The Unrestricted Fund is the main operating fund of the school system and is largely funded by local and state revenues. The FY 2017 Unrestricted Fund totals $486.9 million.
The FY 2017 unrestricted revenue estimate reflects an improving economic climate for both Frederick County and the State of Maryland. The county’s appropriation of $247,066,477 is $10.5 million above the Maintenance of Effort requirement. The State of Maryland funding of $230,248,089 is $1.7 million more than the prior year. Other funding sources totaling $9,557,119 include an estimated prior years surplus of $6,632,759.
For FY 2017, the Unrestricted Operating Budget totals $486.9 million, an increase of $21.3 million or 4.6% compared to the FY 2016 budget. The increase in expenditures includes the shift of the pension cost sharing of $9.9 million from the restricted fund to the unrestricted fund. The budget also provides an additional $3.5 million for increased cost of employee benefits, and an increase of $6.1 million for a salary resource pool. These increases were partially offset by a cost savings in regular salaries, mainly due to turnover, vacancies, and savings in fuel costs.
Restricted Fund The Restricted Fund accounts for grant agreements and other restricted agreements under special local, state, and federal programs. This fund totals $69 million, a decrease of $10 million or 12.6% from FY 2016. The decrease in the restricted fund is largely due to moving the employer pension costs to the unrestricted fund. The restricted fund mainly accounts for grants awarded to the school system to support specific educational programs and initiatives, certain pension payments, and in-kind services received from the county government.

Frederick County Public Schools FY 2016 Operating Budget17
Introductory
During a special session of the state legislature in 2012, legislation was passed to shift a portion of the increased cost to the Retirement and Pension System to the individual Maryland school systems. This shift was offset by increased revenues to the county governments, which in turn will fund the prescribed increases to the school system. Frederick County’s share of the pension cost was previously reflected in the restricted fund. Beginning with FY 2017, this $11 million cost, with offsetting revenue of $9.9 million from the county government, is included in the unrestricted budget. The remaining $1.1 million is reimbursement from federal grants.
Grant awards remain a significant source of funds for FCPS and an integral part of the educational program. Many of these grants are targeted to support specific student populations (i.e., economically disadvantaged students and special education students).

Frederick County Public Schools FY 2016 Operating Budget19
Introductory
Other BudgetsIn addition to the Operating Budget, there are the Self-Insurance Fund, the Food and Nutrition Services Fund, and the Capital Projects Fund.
Self-Insurance Fund Frederick County Public Schools operates the Self-Insurance Fund, an internal service fund, to provide health, dental, vision, and pharmacy services for employees and retirees. Claims processing and some administrative services are administered by a third-party administrator. FCPS purchases stop-loss coverage as a way to reduce risk of very high insurance claims. A reserve fund is established to offset periods when claims are higher than anticipated. FY 2017 expenses are estimated to total $97 million.
Food and Nutrition Services Fund This Special Revenue Fund accounts for the operation of the Department of Food and Nutrition Services, including all activities involved in providing food to schools, students, staff, or the community. The FY 2017 budget totals $11.6 million. This program is self-supporting with revenues from the sale of breakfast, lunch, and other meals; federal reimbursements for free and reduced price meals; and state revenues.
Capital Projects Fund FCPS operates 63 separate school buildings, 42 of which are in part at least 25 or more years old. Our Educational Facilities Master Plan provides a 10-year timeline for maintenance and systemic renovations to address deficiencies in these aging buildings, as well as for the construction of new schools to relieve overcrowding and growing enrollment. The FY 2017 capital budget of $38 million represents combined state and county funding mainly related to the Frederick High School replacement project and two new elementary schools – Sugarloaf and Butterfly Ridge.

CAPITAL PROJECTS
Debt Services The Board of Education of Frederick County has no taxing authority and may not issue long-term debt instruments. Consequently, the Board is fiscally dependent upon federal, state, and county governments to finance FCPS opera-tions. Debt services are paid by Frederick County Government and are included in this document for informational purposes. Debt results from the sale of bonds used for construction and renovation through the Capital Budget. FCPS has one long-term lease that has an appropriation clause.

FREDERICK COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLSMASTER PLAN
In 2002, the Maryland General Assembly enacted the Bridge to Excellence (BTE) in Public Schools Act. This legislation provides a powerful framework for all 24 local education agencies (LEAs) to increase student achievement for all students and to close the achievement gap. The BTE legislation significantly increased state aid to public education and required each LEA to develop a comprehensive master plan, to be updated annually. Each LEA is required to develop and implement a comprehensive master plan that describes the goals, objectives, and strategies that will be used to improve student achievement in each segment of the student population. Additionally, each annual update will include detailed summaries of the alignment between the LEA’s current year approved budget, prior year actual budget, and the master plan goals and objectives.
In 2016, the Maryland General Assembly passed House Bill 999, the Commission on Innovation and Excellence in Education, and House Bill 412, Assessment Administration and Provision of Information. House Bill 999 outlines the reporting structure of the 2016 and 2017 master plan annual updates, which limits specified requirements to be reported in the master plan for these two years. House Bill 412 outlines assessment reporting details specified in the new Education Article Section 7-203.3 for each assessment administered in each LEA, and the information that shall be provided for each administrated assessment.

Data reveal a prevalence of positive performance trends among many FCPS student groups. However, in some cases, pervasive achievement gaps continue to exist. Table E displays the most significant and consistent gaps that are evident.
FCPS has been aware of and monitors achievement data throughout the transition of curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The FCPS local assessment framework has played a critical role in the system’s ability to monitor performance in a time of transition. Accelerating achievement and ensuring equity for all students have been at the forefront of the work as FCPS has created a new strategic plan. The following two sections present a high-level overview of the FCPS strategic plan, as well as core frameworks and actions to align the work across central departments and ultimately improve schools for students.

While FCPS is excited to celebrate its accomplishments, stakeholders also recognize persistent gaps in achievement for some student groups and embrace a mindset of continual improvement. After working with a consulting firm specializing in strategic planning, FCPS has completed its first year of work with new aspirations, priorities, and measurable goals. Figure 1 provides an illustration of the framework currently guiding the work within FCPS.
FCPS Strategic Plan and Measurable Goals

Aspirational Goal 3: FCPS will pursue and utilize all resources strategically and responsibly to achieve identified outcomes and inspire public confidence.
Aspirational Goal 4: FCPS will nurture relationships with families and the entire community, sharing responsibility for our student success and demonstrating pride in all aspects of our school system.

The 2016 Master Plan Annual Update will contain important progress updates. However, FCPS values a multiple-measures approach to the continuous strategic improvement (CSI) process. Therefore, strategic plan goal reporting provided to the BOE will serve as the most comprehensive and current review of system progress.

Continuous Strategic Improvement
FCPS’s Division of Academic, Communications, Technology, and Student Achievement (ACTS) has recognized that the CSI process must be focused- and research-based. Central office leaders have established a multi-year plan to focus professional learning across the school system for central office leadership, school-based leadership, and even-tually teachers. There have been significant efforts across the system to collaborate and coordinate such that any and all professional learning is connected and meaningful. Figure 2 illustrates the three areas that will be a central focus of the long-term professional learning plan.
Evident in the sections of the master plan, FCPS staff reference detailed plans to support struggling learners and special populations of students. In addition to these actions, FCPS staff will delve extensively in the Framework for Teaching (Charlotte Danielson, 2013) and the concept of cultural proficiency. Much research points to the critical role of the teacher in increasing student achievement. FCPS will be working with the company Frontline (costs: $39,999) to refine the observation and evaluation skills of all FCPS leaders. By deeply understanding the attributes of a proficient and distinguished teacher, FCPS leaders will provide more meaningful feedback to improve the quality of teaching in every classroom across the system. Related to this area of study, each FCPS leader will be experiencing a journey in cultural proficiency. Using a long-range professional learning plan, leaders will explore “The Dimensions of Diversity” wheel from Gardenswartz and Rowe (1991), along with the “Cultural Proficiency Continuum” from Lindsey, Roberts, Campbell, and Jones (2013). Most “distinguished” ratings in the 2013 Framework for Teaching require extensive understanding and consideration of incorporating individual student voice and needs into teaching and learning. Thus, the study of cultural proficiency is a perfect complement to the Framework for Teaching in FCPS’s work to eliminate achievement gaps. Training in each of these areas will also be provided to teachers, once system leaders are appropriately trained.

Organizational
While Figure 2 illustrates the “what” of the system’s work, it is important to also recognize the “how.” The ACTS Division has identified four critical puzzle pieces to ensure achievement of FCPS’s equity work (see Figure 3).
Leaders will focus on courage, conversation, capacity building, and coaching (the 4 Cs) as they lead school improvement initiatives in their buildings. To support conversation, capacity building, and coaching at the system level, there has been a critical alignment of human and financial resources to support the achievement of FCPS goals.
System Accountability and School Improvement. In the 2015-16 school year, a new department – System Accountability and School Improvement (SASI) – was created. SASI staff members have focused time on capacity building and assisting system leaders and schools with general data literacy. A new data access tool, Resource for Accountability, Data Analysis, and Reporting (RADAR), was developed to support system and school staff in regularly reviewing student, school, and system-level data to monitor progress and to respond to results.
System data reviews across departments have allowed for critical collaboration and coordination of resources at the central level with curriculum resources being adapted based on identified needs. Accelerated learning processes at the school level have assisted teams of teachers to clarify what students need to know and be able to do and in evaluating their instruction toward students meeting identified standards.
Finally, the ACTS Division has identified critical system targets that each school uses to focus its improvement efforts. These targets align to the measurable goals in the FCPS Strategic Plan. Schools set goals and monitor progress using multiple measures, including state and local assessments, attendance data, suspension data, data on access to advanced coursework, teacher evaluation data, and stakeholder perceptual data. A focus on disproportionality and closing gaps in achievement are inherent in the targets. Schools are required to select high-yield strategies to achieve their school-specific goals. FCPS will achieve the goals in its strategic plan with each school focusing on its own CSI efforts. In addition, FCPS central office staff will support the work in schools with pertinent trainings to support and reach its struggling students.
Accelerating Achievement and Equity Department. Also in the 2015-16 school year, the Accelerating Achievement and Equity (AAE) Department was formed. For the first time, FCPS has a group of leaders working together to eliminate achievement gaps for any underperforming student group. Key staff members were brought together from the previous Special Education and Psychological Services, Minority Achievement, and Advanced Academics Departments and the English Language Learning office. This has fostered collaboration and continuity in messaging, training, and support for schools across the ACTS Division. Staff in the AAE Department provide a critical equity lens to curriculum, instruction, assessment, professional learning, communications, and interpretation of results.
A strong alignment of staff and resources has only strengthened an already strong Response to Intervention (RTI) model implemented across each FCPS school. Strong partnerships among central office staff members [Curriculum, Instruction, and Innovation (CII); SASI; AAE; and the School Administration and Leadership (SAL) Departments] will ensure the best curriculum, instruction, and assessment resources available in FCPS schools. With the formation of the AAE Department, FCPS recognizes the need to improve instructional resources using the lens of special populations of students.

Organizational
A tremendous amount of work has been performed by FCPS staff in relation to a new local assessment framework. In the second year of implementation, central office staff will continue to partner with FCPS classroom teachers to use feedback to continually improve the framework. The local assessment framework provides quality standard measures to: a) monitor student progress in FCPS curriculum; b) ensure high levels of achievement for all students; and c) identify areas of critical need across the system, at the school level, and/or for a particular group of students. In an attempt to provide a balanced and comprehensive assessment system, beyond the minimal required assessments needed at the system level, a suite of optional assessments is also available for teachers to use as they deem appropriate. Of significant importance, ongoing monitoring of quality assessment items that provide useful feedback for students and demonstrate strong alignment to expectations on state assessments is occurring. This will ultimately ensure preparation of FCPS students for college and/or careers.

The FCPS FY 2017 operating budget outlines the system’s plan to efficiently and effectively provide educational programs and services, administer business functions, and operate school system facilities for the fiscal year extending from July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2017. The Frederick County Public School System maintains the highest standards of education and educational support. This budget was created with the intent to align with the Board of Education long-term strategic plan.
The Operating Budget is FCPS’s primary budget consisting of both the unrestricted fund and the restricted fund. The unrestricted fund (General Fund) along with the restricted grants accounts for the cost of providing and supporting day-to-day activities in the schools – instructional materials and supplies, programs and services, salaries, transportation, and technology. The operating budget also addresses several school system priorities: retaining and attracting quality staff, ensuring adequate and current instructional resources, and providing technology upgrade initiatives.
Funding, referred to as revenue, originates from county, state, and federal governments and other local sources. The school system’s FY 2017 operating budget is $555.9 million - an increase of $11.3 million from FY 2016.

* Technology service contracts were previously provided in-kind by the county. Starting in FY 2015, the county began appropriating funds to FCPS for the expense.
** Funds from the sale of surplus FCPS properties were used for principal payments on the central office lease.
*** Excludes county in-kind services.
Maryland’s Maintenance of Effort (MOE) law requires each county to provide local funds for the next fiscal year at the same per-pupil level as the current fiscal year. If there is no enrollment growth, local funding can remain the same as that of the previous year. The formula is known as the MOE funding level. This level does not address inflation or the added educational cost of students with special needs. In addition to the Maintenance of Effort requirement for fiscal year 2013 through 2016, Senate Bill (SB) 1301 required additional local monies to fund the retirement cost shift to local education agencies. The fiscal year 2017 local appropriation is $10.5 million or 4.4% above the required MOE.

Cultural proficiency is a key component of the FCPS commitment to educational excellence. A primary goal of the Accelerating Achievement and Equity (AAE) Department is to promote student achievement and equity through culturally responsive classroom practices and resources that best meet the needs of a diverse student population. An accelerated and equitable learning environment enables students to become empowered learners and to understand and appreciate our community’s diverse cultures. It prepares students to live, learn, and participate productively in our increasingly diverse society. Being culturally aware is a continuous, integrated, multi-ethnic, multi-disciplinary process necessary for all students to become college and career ready. Cultural factors include, but are not limited to, race; ethnicity; region; religion; gender; language; socioeconomic status; age; and disabilities.

This budget accounts for services that are generally recurring including employee benefits, property and liability insurance, and community use of facilities. Employee health and dental insurance costs are paid to the Self-Insurance Fund. Activities in this budget affect the system as a whole rather than a single building or department.

The Community Services category includes services provided by the school district for the community, or a segment of the community, other than the public school system and its programs. School facilities are made available to the community in an effort to maximize use of buildings and play areas in an economic and efficient manner. Use-of-facility fees are charged to offset the costs for maintenance, utilities, and other allotted costs.
Finance and Transfer reflects general fund supplements to several restricted grant programs. Also included are the contributions to the Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) Trust Fund and for FY 2017 a one-time transfer to the School Construction Fund.
Fixed Charges are employer expenses for payroll taxes, workers compensation, retirement, and medical benefits. Also included are funds for the lease payment of the central office building. Retirement costs on-behalf payments are reflected in the Restricted Fund budget.
The school system liability, property, and vehicle insurance costs are included in the Non-Departmental budget. Funding for substitute teachers is not allocated, but it is centrally managed by Fiscal Services.

The Community Services category includes services provided by the school district for the community, or a segment of the community, other than the public school system and its programs. School facilities are made available to the community in an effort to maximize use of buildings and play areas in an economic and efficient manner.
These facilities are made available in the evenings and on weekends to various groups, such as churches, colleges, civic groups, and other organizations. Use-of-facility fees are charged to offset the costs for maintenance, utilities, and other allotted costs.
When buildings are used for purposes other than regular educational programs, custodians are paid for their services by the groups using the facilities. If equipment and supplies are purchased in this context by community groups, they become the property of the Board of Education (BOE), and the purchases must be approved by the BOE.

FY 2017 Restricted Projects Funding Sources$68,954,286
RESTRICTED FUND
The FCPS Restricted Fund accounts for the numerous instructional and systemic projects funded by federal, state, and county governments and by local and national companies and organizations.
There are approximately 20 federally funded instructional projects. In addition, there are state-funded projects, along with several projects funded by the county and other sources. In most cases, these projects are designed to serve specific populations or educational initiatives. Instructional restricted projects are administered through project coordinators, often the curriculum supervisors who are responsible for the curricular area targeted by the grant or the person who submitted the proposal. The school system employs a grants coordinator to assist in the identification and development of grants, and all staff are encouraged to apply for grants on behalf of the students and the community.
Included in the FCPS Restricted Fund are projects designated as county in-kind services and state-funded pension contributions. Included in the county in-kind services are the school health, crossing guard, and school resource officer programs.
Frederick County Public Schools FY 2016 Operating Budget118
Financial
Within the 15 state-mandated categories, the operating budget expenditures are further divided into six objects, which define the nature of the expense. The MSDE Financial Reporting Manual for Maryland Schools is used to assign the appropriate object code to expenditures. The six objects used are:
Salaries and Wages are paid to staff in budgeted positions; wages paid to substitutes, assistants, work study students, and temporary staff; and wages paid for additional activities including workshops, school improvement teams, teacher leadership, coaching, and summer programs.
Contracted Services are provided for items such as renting land, buildings, and equipment; maintenance of specialized equipment and vehicles; software maintenance; printing, medical, and fingerprinting services; legal and financial consulting; and various other technical and professional services.
Supplies and Materials are items that are consumable, are better to replace than repair or have a per-unit cost of less than $5,000 (e.g., textbooks, instructional supplies, tools, office and technology equipment, and postage).
Other Charges are expenditures for employee benefits, travel, fuel, insurance, utilities, telecommunications, licenses, permits, dues, staff development, and other costs not attributable to another object.
Equipment is fixed assets such as land, buildings, machinery, vehicles, and furniture and fixtures. Items considered equipment have a per-unit cost of $5,000 or more, are depreciable, and are repaired rather than replaced.
Transfers are payments to other LEAs or transfers between major fund types within the LEA. Transfer accounts represent the release of funds from one account to another account where the expenditure will be reported.

School Construction FundFund OverviewThe FCPS Capital Improvement Program (CIP) funds major and systemic construction projects. In FY 2017, the CIP includes three major construction projects – the Frederick High School replacement project and two new elementary schools (Butterfly Ridge, located in Frederick City, and Sugarloaf, located in Urbana). Our systemic improvements include roof replacements, mechanical replacements (boiler, HVAC, chillers), flooring replacements, site work, generators, playground replacements, and technological upgrades. These projects are completed throughout the system based upon facility needs.
The CIP receives funding from several sources including the State of Maryland, Frederick County Government, and developer funds.
State of Maryland:CIP funding is provided by the General Assembly and administered by the Public School Construction Program (PSCP) on an annual basis. The largest capital funding program that the PSCP administers is the Capital Improvement Program. State funding matches up to 64% of eligible construction expenses for qualified school construction and systemic projects for Frederick County Public Schools. All 23 counties, Baltimore City, and the Maryland School for the Blind compete annually for CIP funds. In FY 2017, Frederick County was awarded $21,745,000 in capital improvement funds, including funds for the Qualified Zone Academy Bond program.
Frederick County Government:Frederick County Government provides funding for major newschool construction, renovation, replacement, and systemic projects. The County Executive released a proposed capital budget that includes the recommendation for the public school capital budget. The County Executive’s budget is reviewed and approved by the County Council. The net capital budget allocated for public school construction projects in Frederick County’s FY 2017 capital budget totals $16,215,681.
Developer Funds: To meet the requirements of Frederick County’s Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance (APFO), a developer had the option to fund the necessary additional school capacity needed by a proposed development to meet the county’s APFO standards or to pay a school construction fee. However, the provision allowing the developer to exercise the option to pay a school construction fee was allowed to sunset in July 2016. Developments approved with the condition that a school construction fee be paid when homes are built must still meet that condition. New developments not meeting the Frederick County APFO school adequacy standards no longer have the option to pay a school construction fee. The FY 2017 capital budget includes no developer-funded projects.
Impact on Operating BudgetNew construction, modernizations, and systemic renovations help to reduce maintenance and utility costs by reducing operating funds required. FCPS reviews mechanical systems and seeks to replace outdated systems with new high efficiency multiple staged systems. For new construction, FCPS incorporates energy efficient systems and materials to ensure they attain LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification.

Self-Insurance - Internal Service Fund
Program Highlights
• Provides high-level health insurance coverage and benefits while monitoring and controlling overall costs to FCPS and its employees.
• Maintains the fund at an actuarially sound funding level.• Continues to improve the effects of medical and pharmaceutical
cost inflation by adjusting the plan design, promoting preventative care over remedial care, and promoting the use of generic drugs in lieu of brand-name prescriptions.
• Provides Health Care Flexible Spending account and Dependent Care Flexible Spending account.• Supports employee wellness and engagement. Wellness initiatives include flu clinics, golf leagues, financial
wellness seminars, fitness classes, stress management, and other wellness walks and health fairs.
Fund Overview
This program supports Priority 10 of FCPS Aspirational Goals and Priorities by fostering personal well-being and health among staff. Specifically, the Self-Insurance Fund supports the following key activities:
• Provides high-level health insurance coverage and voluntary benefits while monitoring and controlling overall costs to the school system, its employees, and retirees.
• Offers wellness-related educational opportunities for employees on a variety of health and financial fitness topics.• Sponsors Health and Wellness Expos providing employees, retirees, and their families with health screenings,
educational workshops, and fitness sessions.
The Self-Insurance Fund accounts for all school system employees’ health and dental expenses and related administrative costs. Government Accounting Standards allow for the use of internal service funds for these activities. The Internal Service Fund is a proprietary fund, which utilizes the accrual method of accounting. The use of a separate fund for self-insured benefit activities can help smooth the impact of claim fluctuations that could adversely impact the Operating Budget.
The fund’s revenues come from payments by the General Fund, Food and Nutrition Services Fund, Restricted Fund, and retiree contributions. The Self-Insurance Fund maintains reserves to cover potential medical claim liabilities.

The Board of Education has no taxing authority and may not issue long-term debt instruments. Consequently, the BOE is fiscally dependent upon federal, state, and county governments to finance the operations of Frederick County Public Schools. The BOE has no contingent liability for the repayment of long-term debts incurred by the state and county to finance the construction of public schools in the county. Therefore, the BOE has no legal debt margin. The reporting of annual county debt services and related revenues pertaining to the BOE is required by state law.
Debt services is required for state reporting purposes to account for the payment of interest and principal on long-term general obligation debt. Debt results from the sale of bonds used for construction and renovation through the Capital Budget. FCPS has long-term leases that have appropriation clauses.

Teacher Staffing ModelFCPS allocates classroom teacher staffing for schools, programs, and grade levels according to the following models. Actual teacher-student ratios may vary from these averages.
In FY 2016 the ratio for classroom teachers was increased by 1 full-time equivalent (FTE) student at all three instructional levels. In addition, the ratio for kindergarten teachers was increased by 1 full-time equivalent student. The increases at the kindergarten and elementary levels also impacted the Art/Music/PE teacher allocation formula. The overall effect of the increases was a reduction of 81.70 FTE positions.

Staffing for Charter SchoolsCharter schools are funded via a per-pupil allocation calculated annually based on the approved operating budget. Although charter schools function as semi-independent schools with their own governance and instructional design, educational achievement is measured against the same performance standards used by the local and state boards of education. All school administrators and staff are FCPS employees. Actual staffing for charter schools is determined by their governing boards with consideration given to enrollment, curricular needs, and their operating budget. The chart below reflects staffing for fiscal year 2017.

STUDENT ENROLLMENTFCPS enrollments are expected to increase as the county’s general population increases. However, the projection for FY 2017 anticipates a net decrease of 50 students (including prekindergarten students). These systemwide enrollment projections for FY 2017 were approved in December 2015. FCPS projections utilize a “cohort survival method” (a cohort is the total number of students in a particular grade level). This method has three components:
1. Analyze the historical cohort progression from grade to grade. Future cohort progression is then determined based upon historical trends, land development/housing patterns, and pupil-yield trends.
2. Base kindergarten projections on ratios of kindergarten to births five years prior based on data supplied by the Maryland Department of Planning.
3. Determine the countywide total projected enrollment in prekindergarten through grade 12 for any year by totaling each grade’s projected enrollment for all schools.

The 21st Century Community Learning Centers provide academic enrichment opportunities during non-school hours for students attending high-poverty and low-performing schools. The centers help students meet state and local student standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math. They offer students a broard array of enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs, and they offer literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children.
FCPS operates the centers through three Fun Academics in the Summer Time (FAST) programs. Together, the FAST1, FAST2, and FAST+ programs provide academic support and enrichment to students at Monocacy, Hillcrest, Lincoln, and Waverly elementary schools; Monocacy and West Frederick middle schools; and Frederick High School. All participating FAST schools employ curriculum strategies that complement, rather than repeat, those in use during the regular school year. FCPS developed its FAST programs to reflect the unique needs of its target population. To address these needs, each FAST program also makes available a nurse, a family engagement specialist, and a community liaison to serve students and their families.
During the summer of 2015, FCPS served 317 low achieving students in seven high-poverty schools through 21st Century Community Learning Center grants. Three hours per day of academic instruction is provided by highly qualified FCPS teachers along with three hours per day of enrichment provided by community-based organizations. Breakfast and lunch are served free of charge to all participating students through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Summer Food Services Program.

Title lll is officially know as the English Language Acquisition, Language Enhancement, and Academic Achievement Act. It is specifically targeted to benefit limited English proficient (LEP) children and immigrant youth. The act states that LEP students must not only attain Engish proficiency but simultaneously meet the same academic standards as their English-speaking peers in all content areas.
In FCPS Title lll funds are used to help students increase and attain proficiency in English while reducing the achievement gap for English Language Learners (ELL). The funds provide for an ELL counselor and an achievement specialist. The additional counselor provides academic support, guidance, and mentoring to ELL students who otherwise might not be available. The achievement specialist role is to coordinate professional learning for implementation of instructional and assessment practices that support achievement of ELL learners. In addition, a supplementary summer program for secondary ELL students is provided through this funding. This supplementary event helps students hone their English skills during summer months, especially those immigrant students with little or interrupted education.

Title I, Part A, is part of the No Child Left Behind Act. This is a federal program that provides financial assistance to schools with a high percentage of disadvantaged students. All Title I activities must align to the school’s Continuous Strategic Improvement Plan and may include, but not be limited to, additional staffing, extended-day learning opportunities, family involvement, professional learning, supplemental instructional materials, and technology.
Title I schools conduct one of two models: Targeted Assistance or Schoolwide. In a Targeted Assistance model a select group of students who are at risk of not meeting grade-level standards receive supplemental support through Title I supported activities and resources. The Schoolwide program supports the learning of all students at the identified school. In this program model, all students at the school benefit from Title I purchased resources. In the 2016-17 school year, all FCPS Title I schools will conduct Schoolwide programs.
Participation in the Title I program is determined by a school’s percentage of students who are eligible for Free or Reduced Price Meals. In the 2016-17 school year, the Title I program will support approximately 6,000 students in 10 elementary schools who have a free or reduced price meal participation rate of at least 40 percent. The elementary schools are Ballenger Creek, Emmitsburg, Hillcrest, Lincoln, Monocacy, North Frederick, Orchard Grove, Spring Ridge, Thurmont, and Waverley.

Medicaid is a federal-state program that provides health insurance to millions of low-income Americans. It was established to help states offer medical assistance to persons with low incomes. In the effort to meet students’ educational needs, schools have become increasingly involved in delivering a broad range of services, such as medical, social, rehabilitative, and support services, to address barriers to learning.
For many children, schools are the primary point of entry to receive needed health and social services. Schools increasingly shoulder the costs and responsibilities for ensuring the health and well-being of children with behavioral, emotional, and mental health problems. Medicaid reimbursement is available for many of the services that schools provide. The program has no preset funding limit and no set number of students who can be covered. This program, governed by the State Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, reimburses local school systems for providing health-related services to students enrolled in Medicaid.

It is estimated that 15% of children in the United States have a disability. The Individual with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) entitles every affected child in the United States from infancy to young adulthood to a free appropriate public education through early intervention and special education services. These services bolster development and learning of children with various disabilities.
IDEA has several key requirements: 1) local school districts must offer free appropriate public education to all children with disabilities ages 3 through 21 years; 2) school districts must identify, locate, and evaluate all children with disabilities; 3) each child with a disability who is deemed eligible will receive an individualized education program (IEP); 4) children with disabilities must be educated with children without disabilities “to maximum extent possible”; 5) procedural safeguards must be put in place for children and their families; 6) schools must collaborate with parents and students with disabilities in the design and implementation of special education services.
The Department of Special Education and Psychological Services serves FCPS by supporting systemic instructional programming focusing on eliminating the achievement gap, developing social competencies, nurturing independence, and preparing students with disabilities to become contributing members of a global society. These grant funds are for the purposes of initiating, expanding, and improving programs and projects for the education of students with disabilities at the elementary and secondary levels in their least restrictive environment. The funds will support the salaries of school therapists, special education instructional assistants, an early intervention coordinator, and a system community liaison.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Part B funds two separate sections – 611 and 619. Section 619 is available specifically for children ages 3 through 5. The preschool grant makes special education and related services available to children with disabilities ages 3 through 5. The funding is formula based on general population and poverty.
The preschool grant is intended to ensure that all preschool-aged children (3 through 5 years of age) with disabilities receive special education and related services. Funds are used to provide the full range and variety of appropriate preschool education and related services. IDEA requires that, to the maximum extent appropriate, children with disabilities are educated with children who are not disabled and that removal of children with disabilities from the regular education environment occurs only when the nature or severity of the child’s disability is such that education in regular classes, with the use of supplementary aids and services, cannot be satisfactorily achieved.

Informational
The grant provides funding to increase academic achievement by improving teacher and principal quality. Boosting academic achievement is carried out by increasing the number of highly qualified teachers in the classrooms.
In Frederick County Public Schools, Title IIA funds are used to reduce class size at the elementary level. Class size reduction positions are allocated to elementary schools based on classes that exceed the FCPS teacher-to-student formula. During the 2015-16 school year, a total of 11.3 class size reduction positions were placed in 12 schools. The elementary schools receiving class size reduction positions include Ballenger Creek, Centerville, Deer Crossing, Green Valley, Kemptown, Middletown, North Frederick, Oakdale, Valley, Walkersville, and Yellow Springs. Title II also supports professional learning for teachers and principals.
The federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires that local education agencies provide Title II funds for professional learning to private school teachers and other education personnel. Private schools choose whether to participate in Title II, assess their own professional learning needs, and submit a spending plan to FCPS related to those identified needs. During the 2015-16 school year, 9 Frederick County private schools participated – Brook Hill Weekly Preschool, Frederick Christian Academy, Good Shepherd Preschool, Hope Community Preschool, Lucy School, St. John’s Catholic Prep, St. John’s Regional Catholic School, St. Thomas More Academy, and Visitation Academy.

The Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act provides funding for career and technical education (CTE) programs, services, and projects as approved by the Maryland State Department of Education. This federal grant funds and strengthens the CTE programs at FCPS ensuring that programs are rigorous and that academic and technical content is linked with postsecondary education. These funds can be used to develop programs and curricula, upgrade or adapt equipment, and provide professional development to teachers.
CTE provides high school students an opportunity to pursue a sequential technical and academic program of study leading to advancement in a career field. High school programs of study give students the opportunity to transition smoothly into further education or postsecondary education and to earn college credit and/or industry credentials in a career field of interest. Using the Career Cluster Framework, students gain a better understanding of the world of work and what is required to prepare for a career. Maryland’s CTE Career Clusters are: 1) Arts, Media, and Communication; 2) Business Management and Finance; 3) Construction and Development; 4) Consumer Services, Hospitality, and Tourism; 5) Environmental, Agricultural, and Natural Resources; 6) Health and Biosciences; 7) Human Resource Services; 8) Information Technology; 9) Manufacturing, Engineering, and Technology; 10) Transportation Technologies.
As a recipient of these funds FCPS must ensure access for special populations who face difficulty in attaining education and employment, including individuals from economically disadvantaged families, individuals with disabilities, and individuals with limited English proficiency. The Board of Education is required to maintain effort from local funds for the amount of federal funds made available.

The Race to the Top program was provided under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). This was a competitive grant designed to encourage and reward states that created the conditions for education innovation and reform; achieved significant improvement in student outcomes, including making substantial gains in student achievement, closing achievement gaps, improving high school graduation rates, and ensuring student preparation for success in college and careers; and implemented ambitious plans in four core education reforms.
Race to the Top rewarded states that demonstrated success in raising student achievement and have the best plans to accelerate reforms in the future. Frederick County was one of two districts that did not sign on to the Maryland RTTT application. However, some funding was allocated to FCPS based on the state application.

Intergovernmental Transfers (IGT) is the state share of the service billed to Medicaid. Medicaid is a federal-state program that provides health insurance to millions of low-income Americans. FCPS bills Medicaid for the full amount, the state and federal amount, for each provider service. This program is governed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
Medicaid was established to help states offer medical assistance to persons with low incomes. In the effort to meet students’ educational needs, schools have become increasingly involved in delivering a broad range of services, such as medical, social, rehabilitative, and support services, to address barriers to learning. Reimbursed services include case management, speech and language therapy, occupational and physical therapy, and psychological assessments.

FCPS employees are members of the Maryland State Retirement and Pension System (MSRPS). Employees are members of either the Teachers Pension System of the State of Maryland or the Employees Retirement System of the State of Maryland. These systems, part of the MSRPS, are considered a single multiple-employer cost sharing plan. MSRPS provides pension, death, and disability benefits to plan members and their beneficiaries. The plan is administered by the State Retirement Agency.
The state’s contribution on behalf of FCPS is for the certificated employees and is required contribution for each year. These on-behalf payments are recognized as FCPS revenue and expenditure. FCPS also funds a portion of employees’ retirement expense. This expense is for the normal cost and does not include any contribution for past service cost. Active members are required to contribute to the MSRPS a percentage of their covered salary depending upon the retirement option selected.

The Frederick County public school system receives in-kind services from Frederick County Government. Funds are not appropriated to FCPS to procure these services, but the services are carried out by Frederick County Government for the benefit of FCPS. For FY 2017 the in-kind services include school health services, school-based occupational and physical therapy, school crossing guards at 15 county schools, school resource officers in 10 high schools and 1 alternative school, performance audits, and building evaluations. Beginning in FY 2015, FCPS no longer received in-kind computer services. Those contracts and associated costs were transferred through local appropriation to the BOE.
Beginning in FY 2013, the normal cost for the Teachers Retirement System was shifted to Frederick County for funding over a four year phase-in period (FY 2013-16). Beginning in FY 2017, the normal cost funded by Frederick County is reflected in the general fund.
