A nightmare budget is looming, and a long shadow creeps over our school system. Unions may have to renegotiate their contracts and accept smaller increases. We may have to fight to keep transportation for our kids to get to school. We will certainly have to fight for smaller class sizes, parent outreach services, special education programming, gifted programming, greener schools, healthier school lunches, and anything else that might cost money.
In the meantime, here are a few quick fixes to improve our schools without necessarily spending more money. All of these strategies are being used at some, but not all, Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS). We need the Board of Education and MCPS to make sure these affordable innovations are reaching all of our students. We can and must keep improving our schools, even in lean times.
These kids need yoga! ...after lugging around such heavy backpacks all day.
