[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So more of our tax dollars funding legal bills instead of going to the classroom. Give us vouchers![/quote]

If someone doesn’t utilize the police department or fire department, should they get a refund too?[/quote]

This is apples and oranges and doesn’t even make sense as a response to the PP. Tax dollars being used to fund a losing legal battle, after already funding a security detail for the superintendent, raises for central office, additional staff and office renovations for the school board, etc., is very different than spending those dollars in the classroom. It sounds like the PP would like to see tax dollars used to support classrooms, but instead we destaffed hundreds of teachers at the end of last school year, increased class sizes, and are using more of the FCPS budget for anything but classroom support. [/quote]

um, no. using vouchers diverts funding from FCPS to private schools. [/quote]

Um, you missed the point. FCPS is diverting funding out of the classroom at an alarming pace. The priorities that our school board and superintendent have for the FCPS budget are incredibly harmful to the actual education of children. You might not support vouchers, but supporting this board and superintendent is just as bad if you are concerned about the availability of funds for instruction in the classroom. [/quote]
