SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Schools at a Glance provides, in a single document, information about enrollment, staffing,
facilities, programs, outcome measures and operating costs. The information is presented for
each school, with summaries for the county and by level (elementary, middle, high, and special
schools)
The 2004-2005 Schools at a Glance has been significantly expanded to include many of the
school-related data elements reported in the Annual Report on Our Call to Action: Pursuit of
Excellence. Additionally, several of the data elements previously reported in Schools at a
Glance are now disaggregated by race, gender, and student group (i.e., special education, Free
and Reduced-price Meals, and ESOL).

EXPLANATION OF POSITION AND RESOURCE ALLOCATION COSTS
The individual school data reflect the cost of actual FY 2005 staffing allocations and per student
dollar allocations for textbooks, instructional materials, and media centers. Cost data for schools
reflect the initial budgetary allocations for most resources used at schools. Staffing reflects
school allocations as of November 30, 2004. The summary cost data reflect operating costs of
$1.19 billion allocated to the schools. The total MCPS FY 2005 operating budget of $1.61
billion approved in June 2004 exceeds this amount by $423 million. Below is a summary
explanation of major costs that are not allocated to schools:
• The funds budgeted in Category 1 (Administration) and the nonschool-based Category 2
(Mid-level Administration)
• Costs for a variety of systemwide staff development, instructional support, program
development, technology support, and student support activities
• Although pupil personnel workers, school psychologists, and other student personnel
resources are not allocated to specific schools, they are responsible for providing direct
services to students
• Tuition for children with disabilities placed in nonpublic schools, legal fees associated
with special education cases, centrally administered special education resources, and
special education specialists based in central/field offices who provide services to special
education students throughout the school system
• Utility/telecommunication, plant operation, and maintenance costs for all nonschool
facilities and all costs for the operations of the central supply warehouse
• Transportation costs
• Centrally administered grant resources, including instructional and other supplies
• Employee benefits costs for all salaries not allocated to schools
• Funds appropriated for future grants
