Hey, Pattee Brown - when people imply the state isnt paying its fair share of our education costs, try some facts: In FY06 Frederick County government funded 50% of the BOE budget while the state contributed 45%. As state education funding increased from 2003 to 2008 under the Bridge to Excellence Act, the state began to fund a greater part of the school’s budget. By FY10 the county was funding only 46% of the school system budget while the state contribution increased to 47%. By FY13 as MOE funding began to sink in, the county provided 46% of the budget while the state now covers 50%.
