[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Y'all suck. You're talking about real people. I know a few of the folks in Central that have been cut. Their positions are valuable and they are doing meaningful work. The issue is not that cuts need to be made, it is which cuts. And to be honest, there are some Divisions and Offices at Central that provide very little service. And the same can be said for some positions at some schools which have bloated budgets, too. DCPS schools have an incredible amount of resources compared to the rest of the nation... and for what? Where's the data showing that any of it is working?[/quote]

I’m sorry they are losing their jobs.  But if they would like to stay employed in DC, they can certainly apply for a teaching position.  [/quote]

This is factually inaccurate.  The issue is cutting the administrative support for already struggling teachers.  The schools will be very hurt by the Central Offices cut.  It is the wrong move.[/quote]

Our teachers constantly complain that they get no admin support from DCPS Central. Leave requests never approved. Paychecks that are wrong or don't come. [/quote]

So...definitely a good thing that there will be less.[/quote]

Well it is already zero support. So it'll still be zero. Basically no difference. [/quote]

This is not true. I’m sorry not all divisions have been doing their job. I know many hardworking central services staff who bend over backwards to support teachers. They take calls at all hours of the day, respond to emails immediately, are flexible to support in person when asked, sub in challenging classes, etc. Of course, those people were cut from the budget.[/quote]
