[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cut gatehouse staffing by 50%, reduce superintendent pay by 20%, eliminate IB or at most offer at 1 school. [/quote] Congrats, you've cut 1% of the budget. What's next? The reality is that the only way to substantially cut costs is to reduce the biggest part of the pie, which is in-school staff. Since nobody really wants to do that, we should just raise taxes.[/quote] Is it even 1%?[/quote] Probably, if you truly Elon'd them. General support and facilities management (Gatehouse!) is 5.4% of the budget. There are 26,000 FTEs in FCPS, 1895 of which are non-school based. Teachers and IAs make up ~19,000 total. The 1895 can be broken down here on page 176 of the .pdf (164 of the document) https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/pdf/FY-2026-Proposed-Budget.pdf [/quote]
