And why not approve this grant funding? It's $4,999,634 for "education." Isn't that a good thing?
In actuality, this is $4,999,634 for 12 administrators for MCPS. (See page Circle 9) A whole new office has been set up to fulfill the terms of this grant. But the grant funding is only for 3 years.
So what happens to those administrators after 3 years? Do they go back to local schools and teach in classrooms? Do they disappear?
Grants are great. But when they are creating more administrators instead of classroom teachers is that really something that MCPS can afford long-term? Will the County Council actually discuss the implications of their actions on this Agenda item?
How many grants for more administrators can MCPS afford?
