Also, PTOs are paying for most of the technology in the ES classrooms (at least this is what's claimed by my ES)? [b]So where does the FCPS technology budget go??[/b]? Parents already have to pay extra to get "basics" in their schools via PTO fundraising. I don't need to pay more taxes, and more to the PTO, while not getting raises, or potentially having one of us lose of our jobs, because FCPS administrators aren't capable of higher math. (Not a troll, but am a Democrat who doesn't believe in blank checks)[/quote]

Large percentages of the technology budget fund the universal issuance of laptops to every FCPS student, with guaranteed replacement
When the student breaks or loses the laptop.

Also rolled into the technology budget is FCPS’  translation of online documents, websites (including updates), services to students and parents, etc.  FCPS is highly diverse, so it is important that anything FCPS does online needs to accessible in every language, to provide equitable access.[/quote]

Then why did FCPS just drop $119,000,000 on textbooks for 2024-2025??   An unusually large sum.[/quote]
