#HCPSS
@individiblehocomd.bsky.social @swinglefthocomd.bsky.social I’m an HCPSS parent who relies on bus service and I stand with the workers. If you feel the same way, please tell Zum and the school system that Zum needs to agree to workers’ reasonable demands. I’m not letting my kid cross a picket line!

Howard County parent here. My family relies on bus service, and we stand with the workers and Teamsters Local 570! I’ve called Zum and the school system to tell them I’m not letting my kid cross a picket line. I hope HCPSS puts pressure on Zum to meet drivers’ reasonable demands.

I had the privilege of kicking off the NYC WL teacher leader cohort today with @jillschimmer What an impressive group of dedicated educators! And among the group, one of my HCPSS teachers!

Check your email from #HCEA President Schmitt to volunteer! We’re kicking off #LeadersThatLearn, and we need YOU.
We’re looking for hosts to help elected officials see the real story behind the numbers & how their decisions affect our students & schools.

I have an HCPSS teacher friend who reported after her prep week that, “things are really bad.” And that’s here in a school system that in theory is better off than many places in the country. Folks have got to wake up and demand better.

We will share a couple Q&As throughout the week from her.

EXCLUSIVE: Howard County Exec. Calvin Ball went from giving HCPSS 52.7% of the county's budget in 2021 to 46.2% this year, an 11 News Investigates review shows.
If HCPSS had received 52.7% of county's budget in 2025--it would have gotten an extra ~$108 million. www.wbaltv.com/article/howa...
Emergency bill proposes $14.5M more for HCPSS amid dwindling funding
Budget documents reveal Howard County isn't funding public schools the way it used to.

TONIGHT AT 5PM: Is HCPSS getting a smaller percentage of the county budget than it used to?
Yes, per our review of county budget documents.
Howard County Executive Calvin Ball explains why, and County Council Chair Liz Walsh pushes back.

Three weeks of being unemployed. I’ve applied to 312 jobs since the start of the year expecting to be dismissed by this administration.

Positives of the day:

I grilled a turkey breast.

Both BCPS and HCPSS might be interested in interviewing me to be a high school English teacher under #FedstoEds

This is the second murderer to come out of the Homewood alternative school program. What is HCPSS running there, a school for thugs?

PART 2: For years, HCPSS has funded new special ed positions but hasn't filled them.
What happens to those unspent $$?
We've learned it often goes back into the general fund, meaning money intended for special needs students gets diverted to other students. www.wbaltv.com/article/howa...
Unspent special education funding diverted. Here's why
Unspent funding meant for vacant special education positions at Howard County schools sometimes gets redirected, 11 News Investigates has learned.
