[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cut gatehouse staffing by 50%, reduce superintendent pay by 20%, eliminate IB or at most offer at 1 school.  [/quote]

Congrats, you've cut 1% of the budget.  What's next?

The reality is that the only way to substantially cut costs is to reduce the biggest part of the pie, which is in-school staff.  Since nobody really wants to do that, we should just raise taxes.[/quote]

Is it even 1%?[/quote]

We don’t know because they are not transparent about the budget and manipulate the numbers to hide how much admin is really costing.  Admin costs a lot more than FCPS is making it out to be, all kinds of costs are getting lumped in with costs that are actually for students in the classroom. Before anyone can make suggestions about cuts, the public needs real transparency about what the taxpayer money is currently being spent on, not a bunch of manipulated numbers and data  on costs lumped into categories where those costs don’t belong.
