7News has learned an error in the school system‘s submission for state aid could negatively impact school improvement projects.
Montgomery County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Thomas Taylor made the admission in a letter that was part of his recommended capital budget for Fiscal Year 2026.
In the letter addressed to the school board, he wrote about the Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
“My recommended CIP approach also reallocates unexpended funds from previous projects in order to mitigate the impact of a reduction in state aid that resulted from an error in the MCPS submission for aid in the Charles W. Woodward Project,” Taylor stated. “MCPS has been informed that we will not be receiving $39.3 million in state aid that was expected due to errors in calculating prevailing wage and bid award across the multiple phases of the project.”
