MCPS Gets $143M Funding Boost, HVAC and Roof Repairs Unfunded
StewartMay 15, 2026
The FY27 budget increases Montgomery County Public Schools' local operating funding by $143 million, a 6.1% rise over FY26. However, capital needs including HVAC systems, roof repairs, outdoor play spaces, and school security projects were not funded in the capital budget. Councilmember Stewart noted she had sought $44 million in one-time revenue from ITOC savings for school infrastructure, but the Council directed those funds to MCPS operating costs instead.
