[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was 6% which they said was about 100 or so positions. And that's on top of the past two years which they also had similar level reductions. There will certainly be even more for the next fiscal year given the cuts in federal funding.[/quote]

So DCPS Central Office has 1600+ employees???[/quote]

I have no idea about any current staff cuts at central office, but I can assure you that at no time (at least in the last 15 years) has central office had anywhere near 1600 staff. The number was less than 500, then it was reduced further [b]last year when the DC Council forced DCPS to reduce headcount at central office in lieu of reducing staff at schools.[/b] [/quote]

Np. No dog in this fight but it’s so disappointing that anyone would need to “force” central office to reduce their excessive staff of hundreds of people versus taking teachers and support staff out of schools. We need to have legal limits on how much money can be allocated to central office for their staffing and special projects. It should be mandated by law that the vast majority of funding (like 95%) is spent on things like facilities and teachers that directly touch kids rather than layers of bureaucracy.[/quote]
