[quote=Anonymous]I did some homework and dug out Stafford County Public School (SCPS) FY27 operating budget. Taylor served SCPS where he introduced the original regional program idea, called "specialty centers" in SCPS. Here in MCPS, the regional model is 6X that program in SCPS (SCPS only has 5 HSs), plus more criteria-based programs. The specialty center rolled in with a 3-year phase (FY24-FY27). So now we can look at some realistic operating cost.

Transportation excluded, the operating cost (staffing, material, coordinator, training, etc.) is $4.8 million/year. That translates into $28.8 million/year for our regional programs (transportation excluded). And Taylor's estimate is $9 million/year (transportation excluded, see Page 2 here: https://go.boarddocs.com/mabe/mcpsmd/Board.nsf/files/DNLJXC4F4A19/$file/Regional%20Program%20Model%20FY2027-2031%20Budget%20251120.pdf)

$28.8 million vs. $9 million, this is a huge discrepancy and this is what you should expect as a taxpayer to pay. [/quote]
