| I am hearing of budget cuts in maryland and VA. Has maxwell stated what he will cut yet in pgcps? |

He was supposed to have a public meeting yesterday to talk about it. I'm guessing it got cancelled. You could probably call and see if it has been rescheduled.
"Dear Friend of PGCPS: As you know, we are facing a critical time at both the state and local levels when it comes to education funding. Potential looming cuts to our budget could have a great impact on the services we provide to our students and families and could hurt the great progress we are making. I’d like to invite you to a special discussion about education funding on February 17, 2015, 7:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. at Kenmoor Middle School, 2500 Kenmoor Drive, Landover, MD 20785. In this session I will share with you our current budget status, what the potential impacts of cuts to education funding would be and strategize ways we can work together to send a message that we must adequately fund our public schools. Now is the time for us to all raise our voices on this vital issue. As someone who has already done so much to advance PGCPS, I hope you will join me on February 17, 2015, for this very important discussion. Please RSVP to communications@pgcps.org. I look forward to seeing you. Kevin M. Maxwell, Ph.D. Chief Executive Officer Prince George's County Public Schools " |
| I thank you for the information. I will try to see if I can find a reschedule date. I cannot imagine what pg county could even cut. |
| I just got an email about the rescheduled meeting. It will be Thursday, March 5, 2015 - 6:30 p.m. at Kenmoor Middle School, 2500 Kenmoor Drive, Landover, MD 20785. |
| Thank you for the update. Do we need to email someone or can we just show up to the meeting? |
|
I think you can just show up. Unfortunately most meetings like this don't have particularly good attendance so I don't think that over capacity is a problem.
This is the complete text of the email. "Dear Friend of PGCPS: I'm sorry the weather prevented us from meeting on Tuesday evening to discuss our critical budget situation at the state and local levels. Our session has been rescheduled for Thursday, March 5, 2015 - 6:30 p.m. at Kenmoor Middle School, 2500 Kenmoor Drive, Landover, MD 20785. I hope you can make it. Working together, we can mobilize to adequately fund education in Prince George's County. I look forward to seeing you on March 5th. As always, if you have any questions don't hesitate to send me an e-mail at ceo@pgcps.org. Thank you. Kevin M. Maxwell, Ph.D. Chief Executive Officer Prince George's County Public Schools " |
