Please stop spreading rumors that are unfounded.


Info from a teacher at our school.


So...you're spreading rumors like a middle schooler.


How is reality a rumor?


"Info from a teacher at our school"..on an anonymous forum...after Taylor already specified to the public it's not based on seniority. Sure, Jan. Sure sounds like reality to me.

It will. His mismanagement is crushing the schools.

There is likely insider information swirling around, but I don’t know we are going to have anything too accurate on DcUM yet.

The BOE hasn’t officially rubber-stamped any cuts from Taylor yet. The do officially have to vote on whatever budget he provides them to approve.

For the older teachers, this is their second or third round of economic downturn. We don’t have a lot of sympathy. We survived those early years on the chopping block. Be flexible. Get second and third certification areas. Move districts. Go private.


There was no economic downturn. MCPS got an Increase over last year!

He needs to "prove" he wasn't bluffing. We all know the money can be found.

New employee is less protected so easy to lay off. It happened last year to pretty much every federal agency. It has nothing to do with personal performance or workforce growth.

What is the point of pouring money into recruiting and training to attract more teachers into the profession when they come to MCPS and Taylor sends them notices they are being let go because he is pouting?

Way to kill off the next generation of teachers TT. All because you didn’t get a few extra dollars in your $3,775,000,000 budget.
