[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Starting cuts:

- AAP centers and associated multi-million dollar transportation apparatus. Students currently attending can finish their time through 6th grade at ES. No new admissions. All ES have local programs to meet this need. The cost is redundancy in transportation and staffing cost is INSANE when there is no longer a reason for ES centers to exist now that all schools have it. A poster above referenced "Nice white parents". This budget item is your posterchild and I won't be able to respect any FCPS budget until it's removed.

- Reduce DEI staff by 75%

- Hopefully cut a lot of overstaffed ESOL positions this summer with enrollment going down

- Remove 8-hour contracts for special ed teachers. They were fine for COVID when supplemental paperwork and workload was added, but the pay inequity is no longer defensible. Maybe take a look at the specific sped positions where turnover is highest (severe disabilities, emotional disturbance, etc.) and keep only that small %

- Reduce SBTS positions to .5 per school, unless school is over 1000 students.

- pay remaining staff more, when possible, to continue to retain top talent[/quote]

This strikes me as a reasonable, bipartisan list and for that reason I’m sure it will never happen![/quote]
