[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Come to the County Council meeting on Monday, April 8, 7pm and help protest the delayed auditorium![/quote]

+1.  It would also help if you had another plan for where to make non recommend reductions.[/quote]

I hate comments like this. Passive aggressive move to shut down any push back. [b]It is not the job of parents to figure out the minutiae of the budget[/b]. And no one would listen to them any way. The school district should be more open and transparent on where $$$ go. They should not have planned a move to Woodward when the school is only 70% completed. They should have delayed the move one more year. And why is the construction moving at a snail’s pace any way? [/quote]

It kind of is their job to figure out the minutiae of the budget if they're going to engage in advocacy to the board in favor of them making a budgeting decision they're advocating for. Sorry, but that's how it works.[/quote]

+1. You have questions or concerns that is all well and fine.  The BOE and Facilities department have email address and phone numbers that you can reach out to.  The BOE has a meeting you can come to.  MCPS presented its options for Non recommended Reductions.  If you don’t agree with those choices, it’s on you to present why and then present another solution.[/quote]

Nope. Highly paid administrators can work out solutions. That is what we pay them for.[/quote]

This. The pp who always claims parents have to come up with the correct solution is nuts. First of all, you could spend all your time finding the most effective solution and it would most likely be rejected by MCPS Central just because. Are they going to include parents as equal partners in their work meetings? I don’t think so.
Also, stop asking parents to do the jobs of senior administrators at MCPS who are paid very well. It is on them for screwing up the high school experience of a large number of Northwood students. And for refusing to share pertinent information earlier. It is practically too late to change course now but if they had openly and honestly shared the full implications of the move last semester, parents, staff and students would have had time to react and advocate for themselves [/quote]
