If dollars are spent on "education" does that mean that the money goes to classrooms?
Absolutely not.
Did you know that Superintendents and Board of Education members belong to many clubs? The clubs involve paying dues, plus expenses for meetings, travel, and conferences. Dollars spent on these clubs are dollars that do not go to teacher salaries, school supplies or school buildings.
Here's today's example of how "education" dollars are actually spent. It's AASA and every superintendent needs to join! Why? Well, watch the promotional video below. Basic membership is $447 per superintendent. Add the conferences, travel, etc... on top of that.
There are 13,588 school districts in the USA. This club is looking at membership fees that could divert upwards of $6 million dollars from public school classrooms.
Watch the video. You will see a former MCPS administrator, Stacy Scott, is one of the salespeople for this club.
You guys get incensed for no reason. #getalife
ReplyDeleteThanks! So the MCPS budget is FULLY FUNDED and NO ADDITIONAL DOLLARS are needed! Good to know!
DeleteObviously, if there is plenty of money for fluff clubs then students have all the resources they need! Teachers never have to buy classroom supplies out of their own money and parents do not have to donate any more to schools! How exciting! This is great news!
And this must mean that after school activities are FULLY FUNDED! Wow! That is fabulous news! Thanks for letting us know that administrators can spend as they like on personal perks for themselves! The students have everything they need! :)
DeletePlease give us your name and position with MCPS so we can cite you as our source when we post this exciting news! Thanks!
