[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They have [b]achievement specialist who used to be teachers but now, go around schools and meet with leadership[/b]. They could be cut. They have about 60 parent community coordinators who work from home. They could be cut. They have social workers who work with immigrant students,  they should be sent directly to schools and supervised by principals. The social workers work out of Rocking Horse Road Center. Rocking Horse Road Center is another building filled with Central Office staff. They have a Spring Mill office off Kemp Mill Road filled with Central Office. English Manor filled with central office. Some of the Central Office positions are needed, but others are not. Just look to see who gets their PHD while working for Central Office. Those are the people that should be cut. [/quote]

I had dinner last night with my sister who is a staff development teacher with MCPS. She said at her meeting yesterday, there were over ten achievement specialists just sitting in the back of their all day meeting. Of the ten, only about a handful took turns presenting content throughout the day. She couldn't understand why so many twelve month specialists were just sitting there all day when there are so many teacher vacancies in MCPS.  I'm a former teacher myself and the bloat at central office always bothered me. I'm sure people are well-intentioned when taking those positions but it seems so wasteful given the staffing crisis in MCPS right now. [/quote]
