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

| Does anyone know which 220 middle school teachers are potentially going to be cut? Does anyone know if any middle school teachers got notifications that their jobs are at risk? Or is MCP$ keeping it vague for now? |

Here is what MCPS did in 2024 to solve the $30 million shortage:

I’m curious about this too. I’m guessing it will be those in schools where the enrollment declined. |

| What is the likelihood that the cuts will actually be implemented? Looking to hear from king time MCPS employees… At this stage in the game, are these positions actually going to be cut? |

No, that has already been accounted for in the original budget. This is roughly 5 additional teachers cut per school. Could be a class size increase but they also could just be cutting electives teachers or foreign language for middle school or something like that. |

Too soon to say. It's a scare tactic right now. |

SSIMS will lose teachers as Taylor is deliberately reducing the student population to less than 700, from the current 1,000. |

This is rough. |

| Where do you see 220 MS teachers being cut, I don’t see that on the linked document. Can anyone verify this? |

Yes, but other schools like Sligo (which is growing in size) will gain them. Also the changes don't happen until fall 2027. Nothing to do with these budget cuts which are for the 2026-2027 school year. |

| These budget cuts are for support staff positions mostly- the school based ones, anyway. |

MCPS needs to cut language immersion & programming like that.
Focus on the basics Trade programs College tracking gifted programming Special education General populace & education |

College counselor here. I disagree. The CCN role is very important in the high schools. This will be a big loss for seniors and puts even more pressure on the overworked counselors. |

Agreed. I’m at a HS, and the topics we talk about during staff PD bring zero value to my job. Complete waste of time. And I’m not blaming our SDT, I think she’s just delivering the message. They do NOT need to be fully released in my opinion. Have them teach 3-4 classes like RTs |
