PTA Council of Howard County | General Membership Meetings 2024-2025

First Monday of the Month at 7:30PM in the Homewood School Cafeteria

 

Monday, September 3rd

Speaker: Bill Barnes, new HCPSS superintendent

  • Discussed his 90 day plan, including but not limited to:
    • Blueprint (the Maryland law requiring county school districts to offer certain programs) - funding, community education;
    • Transportation
    • HR - speed up the hiring process
    • Budget - look for new revenue streams.
  • Capital budget plan: there is a committee trying to establish criteria which will rank the capital projects in terms of when they’ll be done relative to one another. Rather than in the past when projects would fall down the list to further & further out years, Mr. Barnes would like to see the list stay consistent year-to-year.

Speaker: Ben Schmitt, the union president, reminded that the union contract will be renegotiated with regard to salary for next school year.
