[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why isn't the Equity Department on the chopping block?

https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/equity/

In 2024 the 8 current members of the Equity Dept cost MCPS $1,107,810 in salary alone. And that was two years ago! I’m sure it’s even more now.

While I believe equity work is important work, these overpaid 8 are basically never seen or heard from in central office or in the schools they are purported to serve.  They are working on "professional development" that the county could easily find online for free.[/quote]

I have had several trainings with them this year and they also teach PDO courses. Maybe we don't need 8, I honestly don't know, but to target a small department serving over 100 schools over a combined total of 1 mil dollars isn't fair either. Many of those have been with mcps for over a decade and have helped schools start programs like NPFH, ADL, and others. They are also responsible for submitting grants to the state for curriculum and programs.[/quote]
