Funding structure, how it compares to peers, and where major projects stand.
How the district is funded and governed
County school district governed by an elected five-member board
Montgomery County Schools combines state, federal and local revenue. Its elected Board adopts budgets, policies, calendars, contracts and construction actions. Regular-meeting outcomes below use official recordings paired with Board agendas.
Latest collected budget publication
The collected FY2026 working budget appropriates $42.765 million in the general fund, including $9.8 million of beginning balance. The September 22, 2026 recording separately records approval of an FY2027 working budget, but no precise FY2027 budget publication was collected.
Financial position
The FY2025 audit reports $41.14 million in districtwide net position, $27.37 million in governmental fund balances, and $52.04 million in outstanding debt, with a $196,761 premium reported separately.
Student technology rules
Policy 09.4261 restricts personal-device use during instruction; Policy 08.2323 requires responsible, ethical AI use and distinguishes inspiration from cheating or plagiarism.
Next meetings
The official calendar lists Board meetings October 27, November 17 and December 15, 2026, and January 26, 2027, at 6 p.m.
The district posted agendas and recordings but no approved-minutes archive was located. Special-session reports therefore describe proposals unless a recording was available.
