[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a $13M difference for FCPS, which has an annual budget in excess of $3 billion.

I think FCPS can handle it.  Maybe they’ll have to spend less than $500K on their next sole-source contracts with equity consultants. [/quote]

Cool, go through the FCPS budget and tell us what lines items you would cut for existing commitments to make up the gap.[/quote]

Start with the surveys fcps pays outside consultants to conduct.  I think we are up to 10 a year (it might be more) with most of these surveys asking very intimate questions of our kids by companies not governed by FERPA, without parent informed consent (all are opt out, not opt in/permkssion required).  Millions could be saved by eliminating all or most of the surveys.

Do the middle schoolw still do the Positivity Project?  Get rid of that.  The kids hate it and thought what the staff and student groups did prior to the positivity prlject were mucb better (and free).

FCPS spends a ton on outside equity consultants who have such great ideas as showing videos to high school students that imply white kids and cops are nothing but mosquitos that should be shot with what looks like a machine gun by non white kids (this past week at our kids high school).  Stop paying the morons who come up with that kind of thing.

The facebook affiliate (Leadership Academy???)  That contract is worth millions.   Our brilliant school board broke the contract into dozens of smaller contracts under $200,000 so it would be harder to track and so the contract would not have to go under public scrutiny before signing.  Collectively, the contrqct is multi year, worth millions, and allows them to monetize our kids private information with no FERPA oversight.  Cut that terrible relationship.[/quote]
