[quote=Anonymous]I used to complain about the coaches, but now I think there are far bigger fish to fry…the Willow Oaks and Gatehouse bloat. If you read the vacancies every week, you start to find positions that are very clearly pet projects and positions that are heavily duplicated. There is FAR more bloat outside of schools than in them. FCPS likes to crow about how they have fewer non-school based positions than their area counterparts, but that is easy when they are so large…every county regardless of size needs a licensure specialist, an HR head, a food services head, a safety head, etc.
A few examples that could go: 
-There are multiple data specialists in some offices, yet we need a contract for some Harvard students. 
-We have a bunch of Get 2 Green coordinators, which in better budget years, was a nice to have. 
-We have a ton of special projects type people in Instructional Services…I’m looking at you, Global Classroom Project and POG POL. 
-We have a bunch of equity/cultural responsiveness facilitators in the Equity Office 
-The website/Atlas team is huge for the number of programs they run 
-We ran just fine without all the executive principals and their assistants. And without all the regions we have now. The current structure with all the region superintendents and executive principals is absurd and make it so our principals don’t stay in their jobs as long as they used to.

Pro tip for people within FCPS: You can pull specific numbers/look at job titles by going to the directory, looking at the asst supt or manager for a group, and then looking at who reports to them and then keep drilling down. [/quote]
