[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tonight, Dr. Taylor will release his 2027 operating budget recommendations:

This is going to drive the rest of the conversation for the school system between now and the June, so you'll want to tune in, pay attention and take lots of notes.

I predict gimmicky props and cringey dad jokes from Taylor. But given the budget shortfalls at the state and county levels, I also expect some pretty sobering statements and decisions as well as we simply don't have the money to fix all that is broken with MCPS. At least not all at once and in the face of declining enrollments and stagnant growth in the county.[/quote]

I'm not sure why any statements would be sobering at this point.  Taylor and honestly people before him have been very clear about the state of infrastructure needs regarding the CIP and maintenance.  The CFO has been clear for two year about the EBP fund, rising special education and contractor services cost. Central Office already took cuts last year and sent folks back into schools. And anyone paying attention has send what's going on at the federal government level. Priorities have been made clear.

The only surprising thing might be teacher/staff cuts.[/quote]
