Anne Arundel County school board members will propose “a large number” of amendments to the superintendent’s recommended $1.26 billion operating budget, said board President Terry Gilleland.
Superintendent George Arlotto’s budget includes requests to hire 201 teachers, increase substitute teacher pay, and expand services for non-native English-speaking students.
The superintendent is asking for $1.4 million to hire 13 guidance counselors, social workers and psychologists; and $1.9 million to hire 29.9 special education professionals.
