[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Despite a substantial budget, APS has prioritized hiring administrators at high costs while neglecting critical investments in teachers, aides, and support staff who work directly with our children.  APS needs to reevaluate its priorities and focus on providing necessary support to those on the ground, making a positive difference in our students' lives. The practice of moving problematic administrators from one school to another without consequences must end. We have seen administrators take advantage of our county's resources until better offers come along, undermining the stability and progress of our schools.
A call for transparency in resource allocation and a renewed focus on investing in the people who work directly with our children. Our community deserves administrators who are committed for the long haul, not just until a better opportunity arises.
Our children and community deserve better. Build a school system that prioritizes the needs of our students and values the contributions of all its employees.

Should they look for administrative efficiencies? Yes.

Should they prioritize teaching staff? Yes.

Are they still significantly underfunded? Yes.

Arguing over vacation days or a few potentially surplus administrators isn’t getting us where we need to be to appropriately fund teaching staff (increase numbers & pay). It’s distraction from the actual issue. [/quote]
