[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree and had the same fears, particularly on a day like today.  Must be nice for the W schools that don't have portables.  Damn you, Governor Hogan, for cutting school funding and making our kids stay in these damn portables.[/quote]

He didn't cut school funding.  In fact, he increased it.  He just didn't increase it enough for the county to continue to waste money fast enough.  So instead of cutting the huge overhead, wasted free programs, and county administrative, the board decided to increase ratios last year and spend time and money telling all the clueless people how awful it is that we don't get the money we asked for.  And people like you just believe it.   :mrgreen:  They have been telling overcrowded schools/districts for YEARS (prior to Hogan) that they need more money to build more schools.

Instead of blindly blaming the governor, do your research.  MCPS has more and more people in poverty.  That equals to higher funding needs for the schools with less tax revenue from the people.   They are also over building and there are no new schools for all the new housing.  How is this the governor's fault?  Time to start placing blame on the county government and the county board.  Stomping your feet and demanding more money doesn't always get you want you want.  [/quote]
