[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is the same start to the same dance we have every year. The School Board says "we need more money or we will close/cut/eliminate the following popular programs." Parents cry, "That's OUTRAGEOUS, we didn't move to Fairfax for blah blah blah." Then they storm the BOS and get a little bit more and all is right with the world. THe gap isn't as large as in previous years, yet they are saying it is more "dire" than in past years. I don't believe it. SSDY. The BOS has to stop shorting the county on ALL levels, not just the schools, and raise the rate enough to do so. [/quote] Actually it is a different dance this year. There are several costs that are "new" this year including a payment to the retirement system, more students and healthcare costs. As for the gap, $149 million is not a number I've seen before.
