[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This county wants to provide everything for everyone. This is a fantastic goal but completely unrealistic. We need to trim expenses- cutting these non essentials makes sense.[/quote]

Agreed.  There is not an unlimited supply of money.

Also, even if you do feel that taxpayers should pay for everything, the school system needs to focus on education.  It is unreasonable to expect the school system to provide healthcare.  There are other resources.[/quote]

So do you also support cuts to occupational, physical and speech therapy services in MCPS? These to me seem like healthcare too.

Those services are limited to addressing issues that affect access to the curriculum. They are not comprehensive. MCPS does not offer therapy sessions as part of the IEPs for kids with anxiety.[/quote]

Ha. Even if it’s in your kid’s IEP, they STILL don’t provide it.  My kid has a biweekly session with the school psychologist and they never see him.  [/quote]
