The public is invited to voice their comments about
the proposed budget directly to the Board of
Education at two public hearings. County
residents are also invited to attend the Board of
Education workshops.
No public
testimony is taken at the workshops. Rather, they
provide an opportunity to hear staff and Board
members discuss issues affecting the budget. |
There are no public
discussions with the County Executive at the time,
however, county residents are encouraged to
communicate their views to the County Executive
via phone, letter or email during this time. |
The
County Council will schedule three public hearings
in mid-May to hear residents’ comments on the
proposed budget. |
The
Board of Education reviews the budget as recommended by the
Superintendent. The Board may make changes at this time.
The County Executive reviews the budget as recommended by the
Board of Education. Again, the County Executive may make
changes during this stage. 
The
County Executive’s proposed budget is reviewed by the County
Council, who has the final authority to make changes. The
County Council’s approved final budget is then provided to
the Board of Education.
