Maintenance of Effort 20

Maintenance of Effort The county is required to provide as much funding for • the new fiscal year as they did in the prior year, on a per pupil basis. For several years within the last decade, QACPS was • funded at the minimum level required by the Maintenance of Effort law. For FY 2021 calculations, Queen Anne’s County had • the 2nd highest increase in Wealth Per Pupil (5.8%) in the state. 21

Maintenance of Effort Education Effort – For FY2020 the County’s Education Effort (1.22%) was not as great as the 5-year moving average for Statewide Education Effort (1.30%), therefore an additional amount of MOE was imposed. Which is: The lesser of: County’s increase in local wealth per pupil: 5.8% • Statewide average increase in local wealth per pupil: 4.5% • 2.5% • • For FY 2021, the maximum allowed by law of 2.5% is applied to the per pupil funding amount for FY 2020 FY 2020 – Per pupil funding - $7,934.04 • FY 2021 – Per pupil funding - $8,132.39 • 22
