[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So did they decide to make the layoffs from the list on the other thread? I am close with our media assistant but don't want to ask her outright....[/quote]

We don't know yet.  On 5/21 we will find out how much the County will cut (although we will probably hear more about what way it's headed beforehand), and on 6/4 the Board of Ed will vote to finalize which staff are laid off as a result of those cuts.

Media assistants are likely doomed, though.  They are in the first set of jobs to be cut so the only way they will be saved is if the County funds MCPS at 100% of their request which there is basically zero chance of unless they raise taxes (which they refuse to because they believe County residents would rather see school cuts than tax increases.)

Some of the other positions like the 220 middle school teachers might be saved, though, although the funding level currently being recommended by County Council staff would require cutting all the staff on the MCPS list plus more.
