[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As far as I can see, foot-dragging on this is a good thing. No one from the state has explained how anyone is supposed to fund and staff this pie-in-the-sky Blueprint mandate. The 25% funding release is probably about 2% of what would actually be needed. The legislature can tell everyone all it wants to have universal pre-K and class sizes of 15 and magically include every special education student in gen ed and make them achieve a diploma. The paper that's written on, and the paper the school systems are writing to claim how they'll achieve it by making 2+2 equal 5, are worthless.

The AIB can squawk all it wants and it won't change those facts. It's unrealistic and underfunded. People have been saying this for awhile. Now it'll magically be OK if we write some plans on paper? Uh-huh.[/quote]

Increased services are worth increased taxes[/quote]

We already did. We just increased taxes to fund public education last year:  https://dcist.com/story/23/05/25/md-montgomery-county-council-property-taxes-hike/

It is unrealistic to keep taxing the public to fund unrealistic and reckless choices that MCPS feels entitled to make.

MCPS has a lot of money. They lack competence, discipline and leadership, which more money will not and cannot fix. That’s a culture problem.

And Taylor needs to root out the cultural rot ASAP and improve results before even thinking of asking taxpayers for another red cent.
