[quote=Anonymous]The schools that are seeing the cuts are some of the "smaller" (by MCPS current standards) high schools in the County. So they may not have as many participants as the larger HSs in the County. It can be a self-fulfilling prophecy - if you don't give the allocation, or you are always tweaking and reducing/increasing it, you will see a lot of turnover as the people who get hired for a full time position want a full time position and leave when it is tweaked downward. Then you have no stability in the program and every year is the teacher's first at that school and you get low participation. In one of the articles it said the teacher whose position was reduced had really grown participation in the classes, but will those kids stick with it under a new unknown teacher? Some of it is about building a good program over the course of years, which can't be done if the position is reduced each spring even if it is "given back" during the summer.[/quote]
