		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Commissioners will provide at least the same level of per pupil schools spending in the upcoming county budget as provided this year, Commissioner Diana Broomell (R-4) said Tuesday, even if the state passes on some of the costs of teacher pensions to the county. During last year’s budget deliberations, Broomell advocated “keeping the option open” of asking the state for a waiver of the so-called “maintenance of effort” rules that require a county to provide at least the same level of per pupil funding as in the previous year. But county budget officials pointed out that Cecil County’s economic situation was not so dire that the state would consider a waiver and eventually the commissioners agreed to abide by the maintenance of effort requirement. In response to a Cecil Times question, Broomell said that the commissioners have “collectively agreed we will not be seeking a waiver” for the Fiscal 2013 budget. She noted the costs of school maintenance, repairs and other costs will require adequate funds in the new budget. (However, since school enrollment is calculated at 111 fewer students than in the current budget year, the ‘maintenance of effort’ level will be $485,000 less in county funds [&#8230;]]]></description>
