[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed with several prior posters.  I'm a teacher in MCPS, so is my wife.  MCPS has the money to fund the teachers contract, but they just cannot muster up the courage to cut a lot of the waste in the budget.

There are still a great many teacher-level positions across schools that don't have teaching responsibilities.  And central office still has WAY too many people.  This can be done.

MCPS teacher and parent here and I agree. When I saw some of the rows on the proposed cuts I said - good!!  Not all of them, but a good amount. Lots of people at my school who aren’t in the classroom. Not sure what they do all day or how impactful they are.

Also, what happened to Cross Functional Teams? Do we see anyone from these teams in our building? Ours used to come maybe once or twice a month in the beginning of the year, but I don’t think I’ve seen her since January or so.

Another place to reevaluate. [/quote]

Interesting- are you at an MS or HS?  I know what every staff member at our ES does.  Based on the list sent the first on the chopping block would be our media assistant, who does way more than check out and shelve books.  Better than losing a teacher I guess but would still really suck.  I wish MCPS would make more effort to trim CO staff but they know that wouldn't generate as much outrage.[/quote]
