[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't the better path here for MCPS amd MCEA, across the board, to come to an arrangement in which teachers are more reasonably compensated for addressing differential school needs?  It seems clear that delivery of magnet programs at the MS level might best be done with an 8-class block schedule due to the extra course inherent to the magnets.

Not just TPMS, but others: language immersion, MSMC, presumably the Humanities magnet -- each has management challenges that result from the inflexible central budget allocation algorithm that is based, in part, on the MCEA-negotiated contract.  The dearth of seats available for these is another matter, of course, and one that likewise should be addressed.  While that would be a considerably more cumbersome initiative for MCPS, taking far longer to implement than compensation/budgetary adjustment, efforts to bring that to reality certainly would be supported by more flexible staffing paradigms.

For that matter, they should be doing the same to allow more reasonable differential compensation for subjects for which or situations in which there are teacher shortages.[/quote]

Now get MCEA to agree to that.  Parents and Central Office already do.[/quote]

It would be a good test to see if the Apple Ballot BOE candidates can encourage MCEA toward such an end or if they, instead, avoid the issue.[/quote]
