[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is preventing the state from relaxing the charter school restrictions and attracting the same momentum that is happening in DC to the county.

We don't need charter schools.   We need to continue the improvement being seen in the central offices -- payroll, HR, curriculum and instruction.   These departments have become more professional, but  there is still a lot of room for improvement.

And we need to raise salaries to encourage stronger teachers and principals to apply.   [/quote]

I disagree with the last part.  Salaries of PG County teachers are extremely competitive.  In fact, they exceed AA County salaries, and AA County has more expensive housing.

Example, an elementary school teacher in PG makes approx. $65k.   There's a website where average salaries are broken down in Maryland by county.  PG County and Howard County teacher salaries are about the same.  PG County is higher than AA County (and AA County schools have consistently higher scores).

So, NO, teacher salary is NOT the issue.  In fact, money is not the issue.  The amount of money spent per child in PG County is not the problem.  [/quote]
