Travel for 5 to Cincinnati

There's always room in the MCPS Operating Budget for travel! 


On May 23rd and 24th at least 5 people from MCPS (shown in tweet at left from Superintendent Starr) traveled to Cincinnati, Ohio for the 2012 Labor Management Conference.  The U.S. Department of Education was paying for travel and lodging for 3 representatives from a school district.  
Of course, MCPS sent 5.

Do we think they carpooled and slept at a budget motel?  No. 
In keeping with MCPS past practice local taxpayers would be footing the bill for airfare, limo to and from airports, meals, and luxury accommodations for the 2 extra travelers not covered by the Dept. of Education for at least 2 days and 2 nights.  


What's a few thousand dollars when classrooms are overcrowded and teachers are buying their own supplies?
