A proposed $7.1 billion dollar budget for Montgomery County includes $3.3 billion for MCPS.
That will fund about 98 percent of the school board’s request, but because it doesn’t fully fund MCPS that will mean a reduction or elimination of some programs.
One of those programs is the special needs program at the Darnestown Learning Center which serves children with autism.
Three other programs within MCPS may also see changes in the next school year or be cut completely without funding.
They need to get rid of at least 10 central office employees.
ReplyDeleteGetting rid of 10 stellar performers would be a heresy!
DeleteIsn't that where there are "special assignment" employees?
