Well, we don't have the answer. Superintendent Jerry Weast says it would take 22 HOURS of staff time to track all of the MCPS Consultants and their pay from 2009! He will only provide that information if a member of the public pays him $1,324! Anyone want to pay up out of their pocket to find out how much of your tax dollars were spent so that Superintendent Weast could pay Consultants to work for MCPS in 2009?
Here's a hint as to how much Superintendent Weast spends on consultants: At the June 8, 2010, Board of Education meeting the Board will authorize over $1 MILLION DOLLARS in payments to "CONSULTANTS."
What were the salaries of MCPS staff in 2009?
Oh, no, you can't have that information either unless you pony up $787! You don't think MCPS has a computer program that can just pop this information out, do you? Goodness, no. It would take Superintendent Weast 20 HOURS of staff time to pull up the list of all MCPS staff and their salaries.
Below is the answer to the Maryland Public Information Act request that revealed these facts.
An April 20, 2010, request to Montgomery County Councilmember and Education Committee Chair Valerie Ervin to make MCPS salary and consultant information available to the public has gone unanswered. Guess this information isn't important to the Council decision making.
Take a look at the public employee salary information that is available in New York State!
