[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, the County did agreements with police and firefighters that were connected to reality and available funds. FCPS entered into an agreement that didn’t remotely take available money into account. It’s such a failure on Reid’s part. She has screwed up two budgets and one collective bargaining so far. Not to mention all the other scandals like Hayfield.

Meanwhile the schools are getting another big increase in the transfer from the county this year. I really hope they use it to target raises to teachers and other student-facing jobs, not every employee like Reid put in her budget.[/quote]

Got it, ten percent for firefighters and police is reality, but 7% for teachers isn't.[/quote]

Yes- there are many fewer firefighters and police than teachers so the cost is much lower. Plus their vacancy rates were super high. The county didn’t give all of its employees a huge raise- they tailored it to the needs based on vacancies. Fcps wanted to give a 7% raise to every one of its employees! Not connected to vacancy rates or even market pay. They cut nothing from their budget. The county gave them $118 million more than last year even though enrollment is flat. Fcps should cut things they don’t need, including the five extra chiefs making $250K that Reid has added and focus raises on positions that need them based on data. [/quote]
