[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s definitely not malice or intentional, sure it’s fun to make it seem like everything is some John Grisham-esque deep conspiracy, but the truth is those who do this work A). have no personal stake in it (what do they care if a check says $50 or $500) B). are definitely not compensated well enough to participate in something like that C). are aware everything they write is FOIA-able, and last but not least, D). are in some cases FCPS parents of Special Education students themselves.

I always crack up at these threads that paint county employees as some nefarious childless beings imported from a foreign place, as if they aren’t also sending their kids through FCPS.

It’s crazy in this area, of all areas, that people don’t recognize that a large bureaucracy is just naturally prone to large oversights where different departments just pass the buck going “that’s not our responsibility”.

As far as I can tell the positions tasked with being compliant to this ruling didn’t really exist prior to the ruling itself. The few contacts they had provided early on seemed to turnover pretty quickly (not a shocker the position probably sucks).

There’s very obviously a lot of potential cracks for things to slip through in how this is as run. I can assure you, the county that had to do this because a lawsuit didn’t just turn back around and go “okay, how do we defraud s as ll those eligible” and get a litany of underpaid public servants to jump aboard.

Its just strange to me that the incompetence is exactly the same in every case: (1) the family was shorted X amount from what FCPS agreed to pay, in a way such that amount made no sense and (2) FCPS asked for receipts to be electronically submitted multiple times per family. Law of averages would be some people got overpaid, some people only sent in receipts once, etc.  [/quote]
