Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses

The Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) is the allocated funds for public elementary and secondary schools that can be spent on activities and necessities (i.e. electricity and water) that support learning programs and help maintain a safe and healthy environment in schools.

A school MOOE budget is allocated to DepEd schools, providing for the cost of running these schools (e.g., utilities, communications expense, etc.) and for maintenance (e.g., repairs).
