[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We contact the supervisors. Ours is Herrity and he insists the school budget is fully funded.

Perhaps the schools just need to make some big time cuts. My wife and I both teach for FCPS. I can see how every year the schools look like they are crying wolf. Changes are made, but overall the public doesn't see them. They aren't affected. [/quote]

FCPS has made 500 million in cuts and over 2100 positions since 2008. HALF A BILLION INC CUTS. There is nothing left to cut.

Will school continue to be in session? Sure. But if anyone thinks we can maintain any semblance of a high quality education, they are delusional. [/quote]

Nonsense.  This is BS. Actually.....

In 2008 the approved budget was $2,396,899,736
In 2014 the approved budget was $3,458,612,301

Reference: http://www.fcps.edu/fs/budget/budgetdocuments.shtml

The budget has increased 44.3% (by $1,061,712,565) in 7 years.

There have been no cuts. The $500M number is imaginary and is nothing but bureaucratic twisting of numbers based on supposed cuts to requests. Budgets are actually rapidly increasing (see the actual facts in the actual budget documents).

Please make your point honestly.  There have been no cuts.[/quote]

[b]Holy Christ. Where has this 44% increase gone to???? We haven't had a 44% population increase[/b]. [/quote]

Umm, no. That's not how it works. See page 11.
