[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop allowing criminals with “emotional disabilities” and illegal immigrant parents in our schools.

Do this and you will reclaim at least 1/3 of the budget.

Let the prisons pay for them. [/quote]

It isn’t PC, but this is a fair point.  There is a lot of money going towards this population and there is a limited budget.  The influx of undocumented immigrants has clearly had an effect on the MCPS budget and needs to be addressed.  You can’t have a legit conversation about the financial situation without discussing this aspect of it.  [/quote]

It’s hard to have a conversation about this because it’s fraught with strong emotions on both sides. It’s a conversation we need to have.[/quote]

Emotions are not why this is a hard conversation to have. It's a hard conversation to have because one side wants a unicorn and one side is aware that unicorns do not exist.

That is, one side would like to stop educating undocumented immigrants and the other side is aware that educating all children is a federal and legal mandate.[/quote]

Having all of these populations in schools is the floor.  It will never be less than this. In all but the most extreme situations they arent receiving a vast amount of services.  Schools are basically focused on maintaining them until graduation, and then they become society’s problem.
