MCPS utilizes relocatable classrooms on an interim basis to accommodate student enrollment in overutilized facilities. Units around 15-20 years old require general renovation if they are to continue in use as educational spaces. An FY 2021 supplemental appropriation was approved for $5 million to accelerate the FY 2022 appropriation request to provide relocatable classroom placement for the 2021-2022 school year. An FY 2022 supplemental appropriation was approved to accelerate the FY 2023 appropriation request to provide relocatable classroom placement for the 2022-2023 school year. An FY 2022 supplemental appropriation of $3 million was approved to implement the Wellness Program Initiative and provide Wellness spaces at high schools in Montgomery County that currently do not have a Wellness Center. An FY2023 supplemental appropriation was approved to accelerate the FY2024 appropriation for the placement of relocatable classrooms for the 2023-2024 school year to address enrollment growth and overutilization at schools throughout the county, to address increases in construction costs, as well as to implement the new Blueprint for Maryland's Future for schools that are currently overutilized. An FY 2025 appropriation was approved for the placement of relocatable classrooms for the 2024-2025 school year as a result of overutilization at schools throughout the county, as well as to fund the placement of relocatable classrooms for pre-kindergarten as a result of the Blueprint for Maryland's Future. As part of the County Council approved FY2025-2030 CIP, additional expenditures were included in the out-years to reflect a level of effort funding through the six-year CIP. An FY 2027 appropriation is being requested for this level of effort project. MCPS expects decreased expenditures in the out-years due to declining enrollment and multiple boundary studies that should balance building utilization (capacity vs. enrollment).
