[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why anyone is suggesting people become teachers. MCPS is going to get hit hard by the loss of federal funding and lower tax dollars. It's going to get ugly. And I suspect a lot of people are going to leave the area so lower enrollment.[/quote] only 3.4% of MCPS budget comes from federal government. A job is a job. A job with some sort of mission (like teaching) is something that is probably attractive to fed employees who have already accepted lower salaries for a mission.[/quote] How much of the MCPS budget comes from property taxes whose valuations are about to collapse? What about sales tax? When people lose their jobs en masse it will wreck the budget.[/quote]
