[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Salaries and benefits for in-school teachers and staff dominate the FCPS budget.  Everything else is in the weeds.  All the whining about security details, Gatehouse, etc. is really silly when you actually look at the numbers.[/quote]

Waste is waste.  And, with each of those highly paid staffers working for Reid there comes a staff.

How many people do you think work on her flashy photos and composing the website?  What do the photos posted each week have in common?  (a pic of our superintendent with children).
She spends her time going from school to school --yet pays no attention to what the communities need.

For example: the new high school has a community that needs and wants the school.  They also want to know who is in and who is out.  Yet, she is delaying that to summer.  Why?  I don't know, but my guess is that she still thinks she can make it into a magnet.  It makes no sense the way she has handled this.  Meanwhile, we get VERY long messages every week with glossy photos on the website.

Look at the staff and how much they make.  How many actually spend time on academics?  Not many.

Look at the mess of the boundary review.  It appears that they have given all this time to transparency--yet, in the end, the decision will be whoever is last to scream the most.[/quote]

Reid is just the obvious place to look at. There are whole offices full of people whose only job is making busy work for teachers or to present pointless slideshows full of meaningless jargon to anyone who will give them space. And even inside the schools there are many people in "instructional" positions who never see an actual student. FCPS needs to understand that teachers who work directly with students and programs that directly support students' needs are the only things that actually matter when it comes to student achievement.
