I think PP is thinking of the brand new McArthur HS in DCPS. They don’t have many of the amenities of the other comprehensive DCPS high schools. |
There is no such thing as equity. Those kids can also try to lottery into other schools. Every school has different facilities and classes. |
Mcps science is a joke. And any of the better kids do music and arts privately. They can make it work. |
The schools all have swim teams without pools at the school. |
No, mcps wastes tons of money and refuses to get the spending under control. |
You have no idea what you are talking about. And, the private groups have scholarships. So, clearly you aren’t involve them. |
Both increased costs (look at regional inflation in the sub-categories related to construction and education wages) and waste can be true at the same time. |
Could be but definitely adding 30% more jobs at the Central Office under McKnight didn't help. |
Really?! You don't say! Thanks for making it clear that area private groups are well enough funded to take on the role of addressing the arts education needs (including associated transportation) for the 20k+ MCPS high schoolers who demonstrate need. Where's the website for signups? |
+100000000 |
Cutting central office, getting rid of grants to non-profits, look at every line item and see what can go. |
You can transport your own kids like the rest of us do... there are lots of private groups that offier financial aid. Somehow I doubt you need it but just too lazy to do extra things outside MCPS with your kids since it takes effort on your part. Swim is not at the schools. And, yet it still seems to work and MCPS will not provide transportation. Why not advocate for a pool at ever school? The decent parents are driving your kids since you refuse to. |
This is about the capital budget, not the operating budget. |
MCPS apparently does think it is too much. |
If the voters approve a larger CIP then the high schools can have black box theaters, auditoria with fly loft |
