[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It comes down to money.  Are people willing to support a supplemental tax to give MCPS the budget they requested from MoCo?  Or an increase in property taxes?  Are people willing to acknowledge that some kids need remedial help and need a longer school day to accomplish that?  Everyone does not enter MCPS with the same educational background—if we acknowledge that, MCPS could provide a better education for everyone.

I can only speak from my perspective of having a child in a non public placement.  This placement is viewed as a last resort, detrimental to a child’s academic success, the place no one wants their kid to go.  But it’s the right fit for my kid, it’s the place where he is successful and happy, where he’s grown to enjoy school and learning.  Keeping him in a mainstream classroom in the name of equity would have been a horrible outcome.  Different kids need different things.[/quote]

We just approved the largest budget increase in MCPS history. How is it that you're honing in on taxpayer willingness as the problem here?

The budget is currently over $3 billion. If that's not enough, what is? And if we fund it at whatever amount above what we're currently funding, what accountability measures are in place to give we, the taxpayers, any semblance of ROI?[/quote]

MCPS gets more and more money every year and is one of the highest budgeted school systems.  Its not a money issue; its a management and accountability issue.   There is no excuse for the [b]poor conditions in some buildings[/b], teachers don't have the supplies they need, especially paper when they don't do textbooks, lack of textbooks, etc.  In the budget they should give each teacher 500-1K a year for supplies and other needs.[/quote]
