[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who are you voting for? No one in this District!!!![/quote] Disappointing candidates[/quote] Push for the County Council to make BOE full time senior professional pay and we might get someone competent who reflects family interests more broadly. Until then, expect a few single-issue folks, a few heavy partisans and maybe an independently wealthy socialite, each crusader-types in their own right. But, then, the heavily partisan County Council are just fine with that, with little chance for the first, the second being closely aligned and the third being the ones who have them in their pocket, anyway.[/quote] The County Council can't do it. It would be members of the Montgomery County delegation to the General Assembly introducing legislation.[/quote] In a way, yes, but unless this has changed, it starts with the County Executive and County Council appointing folks to the compensation commission, and we know how such appointments work: "MONTGOMERY COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION COMPENSATION COMMISSION In October 2018, the Montgomery County Board of Education Compensation Commission was created (Chapter 121, Acts of 2018). Salaries of the County Board of Education are studied by the Commission, which reports to Montgomery County's General Assembly Delegation. Commission recommendations cover not only the appropriate compensation for Board members, but also whether the Board president should receive an additional stipend, and what scholarship amount to award the student Board member. After receiving the Commission's recommendations, the County's General Assembly Delegation may introduce legislation to change the salaries of Board members. The Commission's first report is due September 1, 2019, and every four years thereafter. Five Montgomery County residents are appointed to the Commission by the County Executive with County Council consent. The initial members must be appointed by January 1, 2019, and every four years thereafter."[/quote] That commission already issued a report that recommended the increase.

I didn't realize this had been passed. What happens now since the commission passed this recommendation and nothing happened?[/quote]
