[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To balance the budget, the Chief Operating Officer, Brian Hull, and the Acting Superintendent, Monique Felder, say they will close the Virtual Academy, increase class size in all schools, and lay off teachers.  In addition to that, MCPS has signed open contracts with 200 new teachers and intends to break those contracts.

Increased class size affects most teachers.  Classroom teacher workload will be increased.  Specialist allocations could be reduced. The problems experienced from the sub shortage will get worse.  MCPS employees may have significant financial problems from being laid off so suddenly.

Executive leadership within MCPS must share in these cute. Eliminating redundant senior leadership positions should be prioritized before cuts impacting frontline educators.

And, yet they got a funding increase, are one of the better funded school systems, cannot seem to manage their money well so they cut critical things or threaten to cut to force the council to give more money.  They don't need more money.  They need to fire leadership and get the spending under control and provide a line by line item of spending so everyone can see where it is all going.[/quote]
