Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski's upcoming budget proposal will include more than $2 billion for education.
Olszewski announced Wednesday that his proposed budget is $40 million over the required maintenance of effort, the single largest dollar increase over that line in the county's history.
“The pandemic has been especially difficult for our students, families and educators, and ensuring our education system’s recovery requires unprecedented investments,” Olszewski said in a statement. “My proposed budget includes historic investments to support our teachers, staff, and administrators as they work in the coming year to address the needs of all of our students.”
