[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s hard to overstate how incredibly wasteful and disruptive the boundary review has been.[/quote]

$500,000 for the no bid contract

10s of thousands at least for all the printing at all those meeting over the past 2 years, full color multipage packets on heavy weight glossy paper

At least a half dozen translators paid at every meeting to read the opening statement in a bunch of languages, as FCPS believes that bilingual parents and those that don't speak English are unable to read the written statement in their native tongue.  These translators sat for the entire meeting each time, even if every person in attendance, including the non native born parents, spoke fluent English.

Dozens of FCPS employees paid to attend every meeting.  Tech staff, AV, table monitors, door greeters, set up and clean up.  Was this overtime pay?  Staffing of the meetings over the past few years must have been thousands of dollars for each event, especially when you factor in the payroll taxes.

Were there contract overruns for Thru?

I hope FairFacts submits a fioa to find out how much FCPS wasted on this.[/quote]
