The MoCo School Board has just released its 2009 school system budget. Topping 4.2 billion dollars the school system will have to absorb a slimming down of just over 44 million from their original request which included an increase of 129 million. This seems like a minor consideration from so large a budget but their are many complaints on what will be lost. To see for yourself go to this Washington Post article that describes it all:

Do you think that ways could be found to slim down this huge expenditure? Submit your thoughts to Supt Weast himself or to the MoCo School Board. You may win an award for creative thinking; there doesn't seem to be any coming from the school authorities themselves. One area of substantial savings could come from use of Open Source software which is free to the user instead of the expenditure of the commercial stuff. Give this some thought!
