[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of pta events are stupid wastes of time. And I don’t think ptas are the way to go to raise money for school. It’s not diffident or equitable. I volunteer by donating to and volunteering for political candidates that want to increase school funding via taxes.[/quote] Yet another MCPS leadership troll pretending to be a real parent? I think adding money to MCPS is the last thing they need. MCPS has a billion dollar budget and is one of the top-20 spenders per student in the U.S.. Think about that a second. Are you getting top-20 services? If not, you need to ask yourself why. I don't think it has anything to do with needing more money. I think it's all bad decision making by bad leadership and a bloated six-figure administration that isn't even competent enough to write their own curriculum materials so they have to outsource for millions of dollars. Either you pay for outsourced curriculum, or you pay for a staff to write your own. Not both. If anything, I think they need to audit their books and fire the incompetent leadership who mismanaged a billion dollars by spending 7 million of federal covid grant money on bocce ball, discrimination training, Kid Museum (and added another, what, 2m+ on top of that? I lost count) or spending $1.8m on "Leader in Me" instead of using that money to reduce class sizes or improve academic programs, hiring a divorce litigation attorney to be in charge of spec ed concerns, gamble with our children's future by making lottery programs instead of planning and focusing on meeting educational needs. I know the MCPS troll will now comment "oh, but I love bocce ball. Why are you so against disabled kids.. boo hoo." That's great. Go on Amazon, type in "indoor bocce ball set", click add to cart, then check out. You'll get your $50 set in a week or to. Now, either explain to me where the other $999,9950.00 went? Also explain to me why MCPS had a record year with open Department of Education OCR cases involving special education needs not met? MCPS has lost sight of their entire reason for existence.
