[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The chance of a supplemental county appropriation is next to zero.  The county and state both have budget shortfalls.  Are they going to lay off police or fire?  Close parks?  The school is by far by far by far the biggest budget cost and there’s no place to make that up.  
A more realistic option is the McPS is forced to cut outside consultants and cut central office to the bone.  They won’t do that, but that’s at least somewhat realistic as a possibility.[/quote]

Central office in particular is bloated. They definitely could cut more positions.[/quote]

"This change, as well as the loss of 20 positions in the central services and the cutting or delaying of programs, will undoubtedly have an impact. In central services alone, when combining the superintendent’s proposed budget reductions from December of 2024 and including the most recent position reductions, the total reduction in central services is nearly 95 positions, a total of nearly $18 million."[/quote]
