The Board of Education of Howard County’s Operating Budget Review Committee (OBRC) provides input and recommendations to the Board regarding the school system’s operating budget, including funding priorities, new initiatives, and other budget-related matters. The OBRC includes individuals appointed by community organizations and individuals appointed by Board members.

The Board invites community organizations and individuals to express interest in appointments to the OBRC for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. Meetings will be every other Wednesday from September 2023 through May 2024, except for weekly meetings every Wednesday in January and February 2024. Meetings will be virtual from 7 to 8:30 p.m., except for the first meeting which will be in-person from 7 to 8:30 p.m..
