- Glass says MCPS budget process ‘broken,’ proposes 3 major reforms
Montgomery County Councilmember Evan Glass criticizes the MCPS budget process for lacking transparency and consistency, proposing three reforms: replacing the state’s 14-category budget system with more detailed breakdowns, transitioning the Board of Education to a full-time body with support staff, and adding a county executive-appointed representative to the budget advisory committee. He argues these changes would improve oversight and clarity for a $3.7 billion school system budget.
