[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Watching SB meeting…. Rachna Sizemore Heiser asked HR to prep information on how FCPS may be lagging many other counties on pay and benefits and then Megan McLaughlin shot her a withering look with a protest. Why does this woman never go away? I am not sure she gets it, and seems to think we can continue to attract a workforce when many are already leaving. [/quote]

McLaughlin represents the Braddock district which is largely good schools located close to more affordable parts of the county and an easy commute from Prince William. I doubt her schools are having as much trouble as other areas of the county [/quote]

Yup and she strikes me as the "I've got mines" type. So over that mentality. If this is the attitude let's break the county down into smaller pieces. FCPS is too big and it's a mess![/quote]

So your solution to the "I've got mines" mentality is to permanently cement it? I guess if you cut loose the poor parts of the county it will be easier to increase salaries and building funds for the richer parts [/quote]

Don't speak for me or insert what you think are my opinions. I think this county is too big. I think decisions are made that hurt certain areas and certain schools-we are not the same as you have mentioned so decisions that are one size fits all do no work. I grew up in an area with smaller districts-they were good schools but people could do their job because there were clear paths and an understanding of what was needed to be successful. Please stop with pretending not to understand that this county is too big and a lot of kids and teachers are lost in a broken system. Teachers are leaving.  I know people in this county want to bury their head in the sand and say not my school....well it's happening at the school ten minutes away. So just stop.[/quote]
