[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw a post on AEM that we should all go to the county board meeting and ask the county for even more money. This is insane to me.  APS needs to live within its means.  Make the hard choices, have the tough conversations and move on. [b] Not one more penny from the county until the Syphax bloat is cut.[/b][/quote]

[b]Reducing a few positions in Syphax isn't going to materially affect the discrepancy in the budget.

If our community values education (it should) then it should appropriately pay for it.

Think again...APS Organizational Chart 2023 - 2024 [url]https://apsva.us/wp-content/uploads/sites/57/2024/02/APS-Organizational-Chart-020124.pdf[/url]

Superintendent’s Cabinet: 8 people
Executive Leadership Team: 30 people (includes Principals)
Chief of Staff Office: 18 people
Chief Operating Office: 23 people
Chief of School Support Office: 38 people (includes Principals)
Chief Academic Office: 26 people (not including Supervisors, Specialists, etc.- maybe another 40 people?)
Division Counsel Office: 3 people
Chief Diversity, Equity & Inclusion and Student Support Office: 13 people
School & Community Relations: 10 people

Not included above: administrative assistants, others.
It's not just the number of positions, it's also all the additional paid leave Syphax positions were granted.[/quote]

EIGHTEEN PEOPLE in the Chief of Staff office??? What, pray tell, do they do?? Please enlighten me.[/quote]

I'm sure if you looked across all the county departments, which have a similar budget and similar number of employees, you would see a similar number of executive/management positions (although they would not have the same titles/organization). Regardless of what these people are currently named/titled, it takes a lot of people to run a $0.6B agency with 5,000 employees, multiple "divisions," and 30-something buildings. [/quote]

Aaaaaand clearly one of the 10 PR people has entered the chat.[/quote]
