Part of each individual schools operational budget is only around $50k-$70k depending on school. Again, I said PART of their operational budget.

Not the majority I have met. Just because you didn't have a great experience doesn't mean it's that way across the board.

Nope, we're (even though I don't classify myself as a liberal) shocked that these people with such high moral standards and beliefs in not wasting money would do such a thing.

Can't place all of the blame on the unions. Come on both sides have to agree on contracts and deals. Like AD said "Very likely in a time when there were far fewer state employees and the long term hard and soft costs were much more palatable."

THAT is ridiculous. Pension should only be based on actual salary, never take OT into account.

I wouldn't doubt it. I have seen some lazy, corrupt union people in my life. However, I have also seen a lot of great union people too. I'm just not one to lump everyone in with the bad like many people here do.

As long as they don't grab him with the 9th pick I'm cool with it. Maybe 2nd or 3rd round.

Of course it's only a small portion of the budget per school. As I have been saying all along that their school will only receive roughly $56k for supplies, overhead, maintenance, blah, blah, blah. $56k is not a lot of cashola.

I was looking numbers as they broke down per school jackass.

Base numbers but it makes sense... and who really knows if the budgets will exceed those numbers as you say.

If I am reading the formula correctly it looks like some schools will receive funding around $61,956 for FY2010.

Scratch that... I know you gained it via FCPS online posting of their budget. An interesting part I found is there allocation formula which from what I see determines how much funding each individual school receives to cover: Equity Total available for distribution - $194,590.00 Base Amount for each school - $6,200.00 Guidance - $291.00 Per Student Allocation - $57.18 Textbook/Materials - $14.43 Library Books/Supplies - $6.51 School Office Medical Supplies - $0.64 * All factors except "Base Amount" are adjusted annually based on CPI for Education Books & Supplies annual percentage change (June). However, for the FY2010 Operating Budget no CPI inflationary changes to the rates were applied.

Yes, everyone is a liar. I know. 450 million dollar budget for schools? Where did you get that?

If they can trade down and gain a 1st and early 2nd round pick. I'd be happy with that.

No actually I didn't. I should have been more clear, I was saying that their actions within the video reminded me of the Town Hall Meetings.

Almost as bad as those town hall meetings.

Grow up? Nahhh, posts keep me young. And you are right... just busy and careless to proofread. Ooops.

Ok. Board Members were not there.

Of course, everyone is against the republicans and tea party people. Angels!! Yes, Democrats are going out their way to bait protestors, etc. HAHAHAHA!!!

How was initially wrong ass hat? I have stated ALL ALONG the part of budget I was talking about did not cover salaries, etc. The $56K covered other daily operations. So kiss my butt d-bag.

This was not an official meeting, so highly doubt the notes were published. The meeting was intended for teachers, some staff and parents. I hope you people put this much effort into your careers.

Thank you for correcting my spelling. I appreciate it. I gave them clarification... a monkey could understand that post. Especially the part: "Salaries for teachers, administrators and other staff; transportation... was OBVIOUSLY NOT PART OF THE EQUATION. According to what was said, the funding left over to cover the rest was roughly $56,000."

Probably true and sad. That is why I wish unions would open their eyes a bit and redo some of their contracts. It would be in their best interest to do.

maybe if one is sick and it's the green gooey type?

READ A BIT MORE OR THIS TO HARD FOR YOU!!! The budget also covers the cost of providing and supporting day-to-day activities in our schools: instructional materials and supplies; program and services; salaries for teachers, administrators and other staff; transportation; facility maintenance; and technology. Salaries for teachers, administrators and other staff; transportation... was OBVIOUSLY NOT PART OF THE EQUATION. According to what was said, the funding left over to cover the rest was roughly $56,000. With that being said. Next time their is a meeting I will let you know.
