[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any written information provided on the budget yet or just this meeting?[/quote]

I think it should go up here but hasn't been posted yet: https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/budget/[/quote]

The one page summary has been posted: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17GJKuduRVabGklonUKc2u7VmIcBsrbNW/view?usp=drivesdk[/quote]

Thank you. 50 people from central services is a lot. Did they clarify what jobs will be cut?[/quote]

That will hopefully be clearer when the full details are out. Based on other posters it seems like a lot will be from special ed and the social workers, which is concerning as he stated in his presentation that the cuts were to get rid of positions they didn't see as a "priority." Mental health, family support and special education seem to be pretty important! Even when you consider his own slide of what MCPS wants to focus on. And I believe special ed enrollment is increasing, so why limit its support? It's a clever trick to call any non-school based staff "central services" when many are clearly in the schools often, or are benefiting schools directly on a regular basis.[/quote]

DCUM: "Look at the huge bloat in MCPS central office!  Fairfax has a much lower proportion of staff in [i]their[/i] central office!  Cuts are in order!"

Also DCUM: "Categorizing staff who often are in schools [but who may work across schools] as central is a [i]trick[/i]!  There's no way we should be cutting [i]these services[/i]!"

Um...[checks notes from past DCUM threads]...it's the same kinds of functions, just historically categorized differently between the two systems from an administrative/budgeting perspective :roll:[/quote]
