[quote=Anonymous]Agree that MCPS education has been in a downward slide for at least 10 years; Part of it is lots of Superintendent turnover (from Weist to Starr to Bowers to Smith in a very short time). Have mixed feelings on Smith to date, but he hasnt been around long enough to know one way or another for sure - MCPS is so big (too big?), and I have to hope he's getting his finger in it now... Funding has been cut by Hogan, some was put back by our delegates; Don't think there is so much bloat - in 2008, when things got tough, cuts started at MCPS and every other public agency - it never came back, and yet thousands more kids are in MCPS Dr Smith has made many cuts - even this year, the 15 OSSI heads became 9, and 6 from central office returned to the schools. There were also cuts in Central Office in ESOL and Spec Ed and Long Range Planning [/quote]
