[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The 2013-14 budget allocation for Lafayette show 1.7 APs? So why is there now this rumor/annoncement? And for the life of me I don't understand why people are talking about cuts when 15 schools have been closed so that funds can be used to improve existing schools. I don't buy that argument. And if enrollment in DCPS is less than expected (I saw Emma Brown's article) then the per pupil amount should be bumped up a bit if necessary to ensure things like a reasonable number of administrators.

It is a place holder. There is rumor-mongering because no formal announcement has been made to parents. It was announced at the HSA meeting and the HSA has not told the parents. The principal said she is cutting the vice principal to bring in another 3rd grade teacher. However bringing in a needed teacher should not cut a critical administrative position. There are good teachers at Lafayette and there are some terrible teachers who should not be in any classroom. This has been going on for years and parents have had it. The feeling in HSA is that if you want to know what is going on then go to a meeting, otherwise shut up.[/quote]

PP, you said the initial budget allocation sheet was a place holder. Updated school budget allocations have now been posted to DCPS and Lafayette's still reads 1.7 assistant principal positions. So what's the story Lafayette? Will there be an assistant principal next school year or not? And what's with the .7? A 3/4 AP too? Please provide some insight Lafayette folks.
