• #234 asks how I'd vote on current budget, I'd vote No. There is too much meat at top of system that has costs student servicesvia web 
• 234 asks about furloughs, I do not support any furloughs for those directly in the classroom. Schools have been cut 2 the bone
• 234 we cannot just look at classrooms to solve these budget problems.
• 456 asks if added money from state will restore busing, N short No. Restored funds from state was not enough to restore buses
• more 456, to specialty programs. @CountyExecBaker has promised to "try" to find additional 8 million instead from county.

• 340 I do not support N E changes in pension benefits. These retirement benefits are hard earned and shouldn't be taken away.
• 340 we know that one of the pressing cost drivers in the school system is health care costs. We have 2 get R hands around that
• 125 the public would grow very uneasy at the sight of 3% increase in state 3% from council and then another 3% from schools 
• 125 if the board became new taxing authority chances R slim they'd work w/ council & state 2 ensure taxes didn't climb too fast
• 125 I do not believe @pgcps should have special taxing authority
• 125 I don't support taxing power because b4 adding new taxes on people we need to look at their overall collective liability.. 
• 603 My choice would not be 2 charge 4 transportation but if it is the only option I'd offer it. I don't think it is right now.
• 603 I've heard about secretaries making double digit salaries and agree it must be at the top of the list to be stopped.
• 603 Q3 When writing the budget every non-teaching position should have to be justified every year along with the need 4 salary.
• 603 Q4 closing the salary gap between those in the classroom and those in central admin is who we balance the budget.
• 603Q5 I think that any office with more than one support staff should have to publicly prove why they need it.
• 603Q6 the problem 2day is the board often responds 2 the supers budget and never really give guidance 4 where he should go.
• 603Q7 as I said I don't support taxing authority at all for the board.
