According to the presentation, for the 2026-2027 school year, it would cost a total of about $57,400 to hire a part-time program coordinator and provide professional learning. During the 2027-2028 school year, implementing the program would cost a total of roughly $69,700, with the addition of a stipend for teachers who participate in after-school activities.

Over the next three school years following the 2027-2028 school year, the program’s cost would increase from about $92,100 for the 2028-2029 school year to roughly $156,500 for the 2029-2030 school year and approximately $151,000 for the 2030-2031 school year. The largest cost increase over those years would be making the program coordinator position full time plus costs for additional materials. The additional materials costs are eligible for grant funding and partial costs for professional learning could be covered by grants, according to MCPS.[/QUOTE][/quote]

This is an extremely low-biased naive bulk estimation. They need to spend 2 million to just re-fingerprint and print out a new badge for every staff member. How could one believe implementing this massive amount of plan will only cost less than $200K first year? [/quote]
