[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, her red ink on Schultz's letter was just nutty.[/quote]

Agree. Is being a bitch her campaign plan? [/quote]

Seriously.  Schultz is right to question why the Board always tosses any surplus money in the budget at random pet programs that primarily benefit poor schools.

More late buses at eight middle schools - all with over 40% FARMS.

Tampons in bathrooms at 12 schools TBD (but which surely will be mostly poor schools).

It’s non-stop virtue signaling.  Couldn’t FCPS have hired more teachers to provide classroom instruction with the extra $400K?  Or found some use that would benefit more students? [/quote]

I think from watching part of it, that her concern was that there was little study or data on the need.  She was particularly concerned about putting the dispensers in elementary school bathrooms.  Rightfully so, too.

Here are some things that have not been addressed with that:
Are custodians going to remove the supplies (assuming they have not already disappeared) each afternoon.  Has it been considered that there are afternoon and evening activities in the schools?  
Have they considered that they will be giving away these supplies to teachers, as well.  ( I worked in a school once where there was a teacher who took toilet paper from the supply room.  I don't think she ever purchased toilet paper. )

Do you know that even wealthy kids steal lunches?  Remember there was a child who got expelled from Langley as a result of that.

This is a poorly thought out program.  I am not denying that it could be a problem, but there are other ways to address it.  But, elementary schools, no.  The clinics are not that far away.

The SJW have gone mad.[/quote]
