[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no opinion on whether this is a good purchase or not, but there are about 157,000 students in MCPS, so that purchase is equivalent to about 5 cents per student. It might wasteful and sent the wrong signal, but it's not going to make a substantive difference to the overall budget.[/quote]

All these things add up.  They aren't going to teachers, they are for central office.  How about buying basic supplies like wipes, tissues, pens, paper with that money.[/quote]

What things add up? How much is MCPS currently spending on salaries? How much on supplies? Transportation? How much on t-shirts?

You can see all of that here: https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/siteassets/district/departments/budget/fy27_boe_operatingbudget.pdf

I don't know, but I'm pretty sure that whatever budget problems the system has won't be solved by not buying a few tshirts, just as my personal budget problems won't be solved by not buying a few candy bars a month.

Do you realize these shirts are for central office, those who make the highest amounts?  It all adds up.  You may have a high budget but teachers get very little and much lower pay.  [/quote]
