[quote=Anonymous]Here's the document that was shared with the County Council's Education and Culture Committee that listed some of the non-recommended reductions that Felder put forth for MCPS in the event the fully requested budget was not funded: https://montgomerycountymd.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=169&clip_id=17381&meta_id=178364

Specifically:

[QUOTE]Possible budget changes: The Interim Superintendent communicated possible areas where the budget could be adjusted below the level requested by the Board if needed to meet affordability levels set by the Council’s appropriation level. The letter identifies the following as possible approaches:
o Class Size: The letter estimates that an [b]increase in class size of one student would achieve savings of $10.5 million[/b]; excluding Title I schools from this increase would result in savings of $7.3 million.
o Staff Development Teachers: The letter proposes a [b]reduction of the current allocation of staff development teachers from a full position at every school to a 0.5 position[/b] at each school. MCPS estimates this would achieve a [b]savings of $8.2 million[/b]; $6.1 million if Title I schools are exempted.
o Central Services: The letter indicates that additional savings would have to be taken from central services, but does not specify further details. [/QUOTE][/quote]
