[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You may want to look up what the school board has budgeted the money for before you advocate against it because it's budgeted for the teachers.[/quote]

You think this school board is going to protect that money? Again, I've seen this all play out before over the years.

Cindy Anderson, the former school board chair, was really good at this - she'd say "it's for the teachers" and the teachers would get virtually nothing but central office continued to gobble up money unimpeded.

I can't take this seriously because 1 - I've seen this exact thing play out many times before and 2 - if no one is willing to have a serious discussion about cutting the bloat at central office then they are just taking the easy way.

You and I agree that most teachers in ACPS aren't paid nearly enough for what they do (and have to endure) each day.

But ACPS is grossly financially mismanaged and that shouldn't be ignored by this school board or city council or parents. [/quote]
