[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The curriculum office that was expanded to provide 2.0 should go. The technology office is spending too much and on antiquated technologies. They need to modernize and slim down considerably but they don't have the internal talent or leadership to do it.

HR benefits are interesting 4M a year on tuition reimbursement? Is that common on top of MCPS benefits?

If you drill into any of the budgets you see lots of little divisions. This is where waste comes from in a government system. In a 2B budget, the internal thinking is the a few million spread across many units will not stand out and will be safe. Its a self protective mechanism. It also bloats the overhead costs because each unit has a higher level manager even if its small. System wide consolidation and reduction would make more sense.

[b]NP, so you don’t want teachers to seek professional development or get additional degrees to become highly effective and educated on best practices, got it. $4 million dollars dispersed through the entire county for teachers, admin and central office staff is not bad. If you don’t want the people who are in front of your children and/or running your schools to be well-educated, hop over the line to D.C. They like to start the year with 1,000 unlicensed teachers, teachers from conveyor belt lines a la TeachForAmerica, etc.[/b][/quote]
