https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/Laws/StatuteText?article=ged§ion=5-115&enactments=false
Each county annually reports payment information about any payee who received an aggregate payment of $25,000 in a fiscal year from a school board.
This started with Fiscal Year 2019 payments. We now have payments data through Fiscal Year 2024 (6/30/24).
Baltimore County is also required to provide the purpose of the payment and whether the payee is a minority business enterprise.
Montgomery County and Howard County data goes back to 2010. Baltimore County and Prince George’s County goes back to 2012. 2019 is the first year where are all counties were required to submit the data with payee names and amounts.
Separately, Prince George’s County is required to provide additional detail from Education Article §5-101. That info is not part of this dataset.
