MCPS is one of the top per-student in spending. Washington County is near the bottom.

MCPS $16,859 vs WCPS $14,289 - 18% more.

The Economic Policy Institute family budget calculator ("the income a family needs in order to attain a modest yet adequate standard of living") for 2 adults and 2 children per month calculates Montgomery County $8,705 vs Washington County $6,357 - 37% more.

IOW, it costs much more to live in this area, which means MCPS has to pay teachers more, which means per-student spending (total budget divided by total number of students) is higher.

So much for the idea that MCPS has more money to fling around, compared to WCPS.

Ahh, so that's why MCPS can't even come up with a phased reopening plan or metrics. Because they lack the funding to be able to write a plan.

Now do it for Anne Arundel, Baltimore County, Howard, Garrett, and Allegany. They all have plans and have started doing in-person schooling or will in a few weeks.[/quote]
