[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would start cutting ESOL[/quote]

The largest change in the budget was an additional 48 million in 2013 for ESOL.

Obviously this is the problem no one wants to deal with. Imagine the savings of eliminated 1/2 of ESOL, Remember 48 million is just the increase in 2013.

"Membership and Demographic Adjustments
In FY 2013, $48.0 million including 700.2 school-based positions are required
to accommodate membership and demographic adjustments. These costs
and the corresponding positions are based on staffing formulas and perpupil
allocations and driven by the change in the number and composition
of students from the FY 2012 Approved Budget projection to the FY 2013
Approved Budget projection. The FY 2013 projection includes 3,907 students
more than the FY 2012 projection. Additionally, due to a much higher than
anticipated number of ESOL services provided in FY 2012, FCPS is projecting
that it will need to provide 7,652 more ESOL services in FY 2013 than had been
projected for in FY 2012. Finally, FCPS has projected a continued shift in special
education toward greater levels of service (both intensity and hours of service
provided). These three factors are the largest contributors to the $48.0 million
cost of membership growth and demographic adjustments."[/quote]
