[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If we can't find the money for after-school programs for middle school kids, we absolutely should get rid of TJHSST, IB, and AAP centers.  There is absolutely no justification for a magnet HS or these "extras" if we can't cover the basics for middle school kids.  [/quote]

To be fair, I’m not sure the after school program is a basic thing. I’ve taught in 3 districts in 3 different states and my kids attended school in a 4th. FCPS is the only one that had any sort of middle school after school program. Is it nice? Sure. But definitely an extra.[/quote]

A lot of middle schools have clubs and sports. FCPS is very middle of the road in what it offers after school. The buses are a nice touch for those that don't have parents to pick up. They only run a couple of days a week and run the same days as afterschool academic help.[/quote]

FCPS needs the money for  DEI Chief Nardos King, and her 60+ person full time DEI staff.

FCPS cannot afford after-school programs or middle school sports.[/quote]

Look, another clueless parrot who doesn’t understand there are two budgets.[/quote]

No you don't understand. The board is asking FCPS to fund these programs on their own this year. The DEI office is enormous and cuts to it could increase FCPS 's contribution to the programs. $6M for DEI. Make it make sense.[/quote]
