MCPS is capable of doing several different things at the same time.
Nope. Actually it’s not. There is only so much money in the budget. MCPS does not have an unlimited source of funds.
+1 It costs money and effort to change the name of the school. If you are so offended by it, then
maybe the NCAA could foot the bill. MCPS has *much* bigger issues that they need to deal with. They requested a huge budget increase, and Elrich wanted to raise property taxes to help fund the huge budget. If I knew that the increase in my taxes was going to go to pay for teachers, I would be fine with it. But, I do not want my taxes going to pay for renaming a school because ..exactly who was offended by the name of the school ?
Every penny should be used for teachers and closing the achievement gap and dealing with disciplinary issues (or lack thereof) -- now, those are highly offensive issues in MCPS.
I guarantee that almost no student cares about the name of the school, nor does it impact their ability to learn.
