[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He cut the composition assistants - the ones helping with college essays, with in-class writing, the ones making well below the poverty level. He cut social workers and psychologists. He is on his way to trying to outsource college & career counseling to Worksource Montgomery, a for-profit company.

This is DOGE, MCPS edition.

Taylor is sneaky AF. He didn’t touch any MCEA or teacher positions because he knew parents would mutiny. He went after all sorts of tiny line items on the budget that he counted on people not understanding.

The students in my building deserve college counseling. They deserve social workers. They deserve writing help.

No, WorkSource Montgomery (WSM) is not a for-profit company; it is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization.

As the designated workforce development agency for Montgomery County, it serves as the fiduciary agent for federal funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)[/quote]

OK, so it's a nonprofit company. But MCPS isn't paying the salaries (or benefits) of its employees, that's the point. It's a "partnership" that reminds me of the Purple Line.. and not in a good way! And, WSM is a truly terribly run company - the stories I have heard from multiple current and past employees are insane.

So, MCPS got a bunch of money from the state for this career readiness initiative and ... didn't invest in its own employees.

Plus, the org chart in central office of MCPS employees "supporting" this effort is crazy, too. Those high paying jobs? Not touched. School-based employees making peanuts? Canned.
