[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS is not a good company to work for. I'm not talking about principals or teachers -- I'm talking about the MCPS machine.

In addition, they haven't adjusted at all to the change in circumstances the entire country finds itself in regarding teachers. They continue acting like they can afford to be choosy when they should be giving anyone who wants to be a teacher and passes a background check a chance. Of course a qualified teacher and a seasoned teacher would be better, but we simply don't have enough of them. And yet MCPS refuses to budge while other systems all around us are hiring.[/quote]

MCPS only offered us $60 per hour for Special Education private support that cost $350 per hour. We cannot make up the difference between what services actually cost and what MCPS is willing to pay so we asked them to provide their own Special Education Teacher to provide the services my child needs. We are now on the second year waiting for services to be provided by MCPS.

The bureaucracy of special education is so confusing that I don’t know who is dropping the ball? Are school principals supposed to be hiring the Special Education Teachers or is Central Office supposed to fill the vacancies to fill the required staffing hours based on IEPs at a school?[/quote]

I get that $60 is low for some services. But what service can you only find for $350?  For that money I was getting PHP services. [/quote]
