[quote=Anonymous]OMG, are you serious??

The increase to 28 is for K. The higher grades increase more. This is the second significant class size increase in 3 years and both have been driven by prioritizing raises over class sizes. 28 is not the maximum. The formulas are done early and if kids add into the class a new teacher and another class is no longer created. Last year, there were 29 K students in one class at our school even though the size was supposed to be 27. The cuts to para educators and ESL positions are even worse. This is going to happen ON TOP of extending the school day.

I'm a parent that would vote to increase taxes for teacher pay. I would not vote to throw education down the toilet to keep giving raises anyway if the measure didn't pass. This is exactly what is going on. MCPS will give employee raises no matter what the impact on is on students. This is wrong.

Myself and many parents no longer trust MCPS. We are pulling out for private. I will vote Republican in the future because I can't trust that giving my tax dollars to our school system will ever reach the students. I hope you're happy with this outcome because you're bleeding your own system dry and killing off public education supporters. [/quote]
