Calling for an "independent audit" sounds nice, but it's a silly way to react because you disagree with policy decisions or views expressed by individual employees.  It wouldn't be free, either; if you want an "independent audit" you have to pay for someone to perform it, and then someone else gets paid to address the recommendations, etc.   All of that is money that could be spent on teachers and classrooms.

So, unless you have specific reason to believe that FCPS isn't spending money on what it says it spends money on, or that FCPS is paying people who never show up to work, etc., an "independent audit" is probably a waste of money, an excuse to plant a critic inside FCPS to criticize employees, or both.

Yes, I'm aware that independent audits aren't free. As you know, they cover more than people not showing up to work. As I stated, I'd like to know what each paid slot entails and how much that person is paid. I'd like total transparency regarding the "studies" FCPS is constantly doing. Although I'm not a teacher, I come from a long line of teachers, and I know the consultant piece in the public school system is mostly rotten to the core.

Why is Karen Garza "continuing" to look into scheduling changes for elementary and middle schools? What could possibly be served by more changes, who is getting paid to do this work, and outside of the SLEEP faction, who asked for this scope of study? SLEEP got what they wanted. The matter should be well over and done with by now. Just ONE of the areas I would like to see covered in this audit. These are not frivolous questions. If FCPS has nothing to hide, it should not mind its business truly being made public.

Your raising "an excuse to plant a critic inside FCPS to criticize employees" is so far out of left field that I'm curious about your own affiliation, if you care to share.
