[quote=Anonymous][quote]+1. I wish they would stop cherry picking our system. The expenses for special education are through the roof and the feds don’t pay their share for IDEA.[/quote]

I've no idea how the funding for IDEA works.  However, many years ago, I taught Title I kids.  The resources we were given was mostly equipment--and this was long before computers.  You only needed so many tape recorders in a classroom.
We had a very talented teacher who wrote up a grant for more teachers (you would have thought that the people running Title I would have done that.)  And, our school did get the funding for additional teachers--paid for through Title I.

I cannot help but wonder if FCPS is including grant applications for funds--in addition to how the money is dispersed through the law.

Later, I taught in another school where a teacher wrote up an application for a grant.  Sadly, I cannot remember what it was for, but I do think we got it.

Looking at the FCPS website, I am having a hard time figuring out who is in charge and where.
