Overview
- TABCO told a Parkville High town hall it will ask County Executive Kathy Klausmeier to provide funding to prevent layoffs and larger classes.
- The union says the superintendent’s proposal would cut about 595 full-time positions, including hundreds of classroom teachers, with 111 reductions tied to enrollment declines.
- District budget materials indicate a 73% drop in a discretionary spending line, falling from roughly $24 million in FY2026 to about $6 million in FY2027.
- The tentative $2.49 billion operating plan would shift staffing formulas that could increase class sizes for students in grades 1 through 12, the union warns.
- Klausmeier’s office says discussions with Baltimore County Public Schools are preliminary and the Board of Education has not approved a budget.
