UTTER OUTRAGE: Teachers cut while artificial turf installed

The Montgomery County Council has released the final version of their Artificial Turf Work Group Report. Included in that report are the public comments that were received.

MCPS tried to pack the comments with "pro" artificial turf e-mails when it became apparent that there had not been a big response to this report. But included in the comments is the e-mail below. Not exactly what MCPS was hoping for when they put out the call for comments.

This parent noticed that classroom teachers were being cut at the same time that MCPS was installing over-priced, no-bid artificial turf on football fields. She titled her e-mail to the County Council "UTTER OUTRAGE".
...There is a boil beginning to happen in Damascus (the forgotten part of Montgomery County) over the proposed cutting of a teacher from Damascus Elementary in the 2011-2012 school year. The public and parents are outraged about this decision...
