[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a MoCo homeowner, an MCPS employee and a parent of two MCPS students. The ONLY way I support that increase is if there is some serious oversight on how that money is spent. If it’s actually 100 percent going to supporting teacher and support staff salaries to lower class sizes and make it easier for kids to get the help they need? Great! Want to spend it on breakfast and lunch for every kid? Also great in my book. Let’s raise school psychologist salaries too, so we have a chance to hire the mental health supports so many kids desperately need right now.

On the other hand, if one penny of that tax increase is going to yet another central office position, bullshit like Leader In Me, the absolutely atrocious online FEV Tutoring program? Then I am one hundred percent opposed.[/quote]

The fraction of this increase that makes it back to MCPS will likely all go to various studies that will never be used for anything, more LIM training, and more Central Office administrative staff because that's where it always ends up. Nothing will improve unless they're forced to deal with their wasteful2 spending. They've made zero effort to combat these issues. Their solution is to pass the burden to the taxpayer.[/quote]
