Memo McKnsey
Recommended School Finance
Changes DralU Sharp Fire

permit the school board to set its
own tax rate.
Proponents of the plan claim
the school board would hold down
expenses if made answerable to
the voters for each tax increase.
The Board of Education is adj
ministratively independent but
fiscally dependent on the county
government, a fact which has
caused much friction. Discussions
of McKinsey's recommendation in
the area of school finance have
been characterized by confusion
over the exact legal provisions in
the field.
Outside Funds to County
McKinsey recommends that the
county appropriate the entire APP
proved operating budget regard
less of anticipated receipts from
other sources such as the federal
government and the state of
Maryland" AS the outside con-
tributions are received, McKinsey
proposes, "They would be hanAled
over directly to the county treas
ury as deduction from the Coun.
ty Councils appropriation" Mr..
Benson calls the idea potentially
dangerous"
AS a precedent for this plan,
McKinsey and Co. apparently
made one of its biggest errors by
citing the capital burget appro-
priation method. 1.-THE County
Councils appropriation has been
for the total construction require
ments of the board and all re-
ceipts from other sources were re-
turned directly to the county
treasury" Mr.. Benson and Mr.
Hancock claim the McKinsey
statement is wrong"
The finance officers explain
that the stae incentive fund-a
contribution based on enrolment
and tax base-goes to the county
for application to school bond re
tirement. But other state anc
federal monies go directly to the
school system, they say. Fedora
contributions for construction are
often earmarked for specific prof
ects.
The county school system get!
federal monies under Public Law!

the capital budget field because
the practices of reallocating funds
from project to project and the
use of federal funds at will give
the County Council little control
anyway.
Again Mr.. Prettyman and
others feel that this recommends
ton could not be put into prac-
tice without change in state law.
Section 65, Article II, of the An
notated Code of Maryland pro-
vides for an 'itemized and de-
tailed school budget" Mr.. Han
cock comments, "An itemized
budget is required, but how much
termination is the question. +"
Other officials hold that law
fully an itemized budget request
could be presented but a lump
sum appropriation made.
This latter possibility, apparent
ly, is what McKinsey had in mind
for the operating budget. While
the operating fund would be ap-
propriated as a lump sum lex
penditureS would be made accord
ing to a budget plan presented to
the County Council" Actual ex-
penses would be compared to the
plan monthly by "the County
Council and its administrative of
ficers." Ito be continued)

Up-COunty Leads
Red Cross Drive

The Montgomery County Red
Cross fund for $4,000 is blowing
along slowly, officials say, with
the upper part of the county do
ing better than the lower part.
One part of the Red Cross bud
get that affects every home is
the blood program. Last year the
Montgomery County Red Cross
supplied 1,465 pints of blood for
four county hospitals. The quota
for the past six months of 1855
was 1923 pints but only 756 pints
was collected.

was financed from state, not fed
eral, funds, says Mr.. Benson.
Mr.. Prettyman states that
change in state law would be re-
quired to implement this McKin
sey proposal. Mr.. Benson and
Mr.. Hancock agree that "the fed
eral government would never con
sent to the county handling school
funds" Mrs. Scharf suggests as
an alternative: The Board of Edu
cation could report federal and
state contributions to the county
and the amount could be sub
tracted from the school appropri
alton.
Lump Sum Appropriations
While the above proposal is de
signed to tighten controls on
school spending, McKinsey says
lump sum" instead of itemized
budgets will "instill some flexi
bility of expenditure"
In the area of operating expen
ditures, the consultants say they
make this recommendation be
cause, when it became neces
sary to change preconceived plans
because of current conditions and
increase the funds available to
any one category, the superin
tendent and the board had to use
federal funds to finance such in
creased requirements. Thus the
intent of the County Council tc
impose expenditure ceilings has
always been circumvented while
the budgetary process itself has
remained relatively inflexible."
Mr.. Benson labels the statement
false and misleading"

Memo on McKinsey

StdII htpOTttT
(This is the fourth i'm series
of articles on McKinsey and
Co.'s recommendation for I'M
proving the administration of
the Montgomery County school
system, the background on, and
the reactions to those recon-
mendations. This weeks article

Eds NOte.)
Probably the most revolution
airy changes proposed by the Nc
Kinsey report effect Board of Ed
ucation finance and budget proce-
dures. Consequently the con-
sultant's recommendations in this
area have drawn the sharpest
rebuttalS.
Because the school systems re-
quested capital and operating
budgets are being handed to the
county manager this week, Nc
Kinsey's recommendations for fl
nancial improvements have been
given quick study in an effort to
implement some of the ideas in
the new budgets. And the tax
payers of Montgomery County
have taken more than a passing
interest in McKinsey's financial
suggestions simply because they
want to be sure their millions are
spent wisely.
For improving finance and bud
get methods, McKinsey proposes:
/. Appropriation of the entire
approved operating budget by the
County Council with federal and
state contributions going to the
county treasury.
2. Lump sum" appropriations
for both capital and operation
budgets to permit the Board of
Education more freedom to shift
funds.
3. Establishment of yearly bud
gets for each school.
Monthly Budgets Asked
4. Establishment of monthly
budgets for each school system
operating division and better
monthly reporting methods to
catch potential overruns.
5. Establishment of an equip
ment budget.
6. Abandonment of all uncom
mitted capital funds annually an6
yearly review of the entire capital
program.
7. Improved budget prepare

5. Appointment of a director o.
