[quote=Anonymous]I understand the anger and frustration- really, I'm right there with you. I have a caretaker lined up who is literally leaving the country on August 19 so I am screwed as well if we find we have an extra 2 weeks to find childcare for. If I can't line up family to help, my plan is also to put them in their old daycare and pray they have space!

But all I am saying is that if you're angry about this, well, call the governor, call or write your state delegate, contact attorney general Frosh...let them know how angry you are. PGCPS is in a bind here and it's the governor's fault.

As for why they couldn't file suit earlier? I don't know specifically, but I heard through the grapevine a while back that they were hoping the state legislature would act. Now that the legislative session is here, it doesn't seem like they are going to do anything about it, forcing the school boards themselves to take on this fight.
So again- contact your state delegate and state senator and give them a piece of your mind.

And most importantly- VOTE. Hogan has been HORRIBLE for pgcps. He cut $20 million specifically from PGCPS's budget. That is partly why the county had to do layoffs and struggled to quickly backfill vacancies after all those scandals at the beginning of the year. It is also partly why they struggle to fund an enough TAG and other specialty placements for all the students who qualify.

So yes. This is all infuriating but direct your anger at the right targets. And do something more than complain on an anonymous message board![/quote]
