...Each year, the Board of Education asks the County Council for additional funding over Maintenance of Effort to meet the needs of its increasingly diverse and low-income student enrollment. According to the OLO report, though, MCPS only allocated two-thirds of the $151 million it received in additional federal and state aid for low-income students to compensatory education programs designed to meet their learning needs. That leaves $47 million in funds designed to close the gap unaccounted for. Why should the County Council ask taxpayers to chip in more resources for closing the achievement gap when MCPS hasn’t used all the money it already has precisely for that purpose?...http://nancyfloreen.blogspot.com/2015/09/report-resources-and-staffing-among.html

Which accounting firm are they using?
ReplyDeleteThe Larry Bowers firm of Bait & Switch.
DeleteOr it could have been the law firm of "Dewey, Cheatem, and Howe."
DeleteIs that why the black - white achievement gap has grown wider than ever? Why is the gap growing between black and white students? Black students are not new to the nation or county. Black students speak English. The black population is not new to MCPS. Why is the achievement gap growing between black and white students? Why are the achievement rates of black students declining?
ReplyDeleteBowers (Mr. Money man) you've got some explaining to do.
Given his “I’m not really the superintendent” position, upcoming retirement and a corrupt/brain-dead BOE, Larry Bowers need not explain anything to anyone.
