		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Public Schools (CCPS) will get about a $4.8 million windfall from new state aid, designed to be a “downpayment” on new educational improvement initiatives recommended by the state Kirwan Commission, in its new Fiscal 2020 budget—undercutting school advocates’ claims that students would suffer because the County Executive did not give schools everything they wanted. Dr. Jeff Lawson, the CCPS superintendent, appeared before a budget worksession of the Cecil County Council on Tuesday (4/9/2019) to explain his budget. He presented budget summary sheets that did not account for the new Kirwan aid and when he discussed numbers, he quickly mentioned that he was “not counting Kirwan.” It was not until Councilor William Coutz (R-2) specifically asked him about how much Kirwan aid would be pumped into the new CCPS budget that Lawson acknowledged a figure of “about $4.1 million.” In fact, the updated “fiscal policy note” on the legislation—enacted last week&#8211; calculates Cecil County’s share of Kirwan-related special aid at $4.8 million in Fiscal 2020 and estimates the same amount for Fiscal 2021. The aid includes $1,624,000 for special education; $1,553,000 for teachers’ salaries; $441,000 for transitional support instruction; $83,000 for a mental health services coordinator; $498,000 to aid [&#8230;]]]></description>
