What are the list of MCPS positions set to be laid off (assuming the budget cuts go through)?

We don’t know yet. But the cuts happening this year are only a fraction of what’s to come for 2028.

And you know this how?

BOE mtg

When? Timestamp? We haven't heard anything like that.

I’m not looking that up for you. It’s in meeting when they start to talk about the buyouts.

Exactly. Because it didn't happen.

There was definitely a mention of next year’s budget being even more difficult - not sure if it was in the last BOE meeting or in an email. This also matches the messaging from the county council - they moved money around this time that won’t be possible next year.

Mentioning the budget next year will be difficult does not explicitly state that: EVEN MORE teachers are being cut. The PP just interpreted something, ran with it, and tried to claim it as fact.

It's not a sure thing but I would certainly expect that teacher cuts are coming in the future given the enrollment drops. They avoided it this year with the class size increases, but with tighter budgets they're not going to be able to afford to keep shrinking class sizes to keep all the teachers.

I agree with you, but there is definitely a clear message from both the council and BOE that more is coming next year. I’m a support staff member whose position is in play - if it’s not cut this year, I think it may be next year. I very much hope classroom and special ed positions are not cut.

They avoided it with the ES class size *decreases*, I mean. Although I expect there were a number of MS and HS positions lost due to enrollment drops and some of those teachers had to move to elementary.

For next year do people think classroom support positions are most likely to be cut? Are most tenured classroom teachers safe from cuts?

There will 100% be more cuts next year.

Tenured positions are not safe from cuts. They can just eliminate the positions like they plan to do with HS SDTs.

Tenured positions are not safe from cuts. They can just eliminate the positions like they plan to do with HS SDTs.

But if those SDTs have tenure, doesn’t their contract ensure that they will be placed (“involuntary transfer”) in a teaching position somewhere in the county? HS SDTs are not being “fired “, right? Just relieved of the position?
