[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What cost increases are driving budget pressures the most? I’ve read that MCPS is getting more money than last year, so expenses and costs must be much higher today than last year if such drastic cuts are necessary, I’d think. What’s driving it the most?[/quote]

Inflation, Blueprint mandates, higher benefit expenses due to medications like Ozempic, lack of competency from the head of HR on how use data to balance positions and allocations. [/quote]

The fact you continue to blame this on Ozempic lets me know you're completely delusional.[/quote]

Defensive much? 
It's not "blaming" on Ozempic, it's a fact. I have no problem with employees having access to any medication their doctor prescribes, but it is a fact that GLP-1 meds have increased the cost of benefits for employers, not just MCPS.  UMD just recently stopped allowing it for employees who are not diabetic and I know other employers have done the same. Not saying MCPS should do this but it's a cost factor that has impacted many organizations. [/quote]
