MCPS doesn't even have an outside auditor. We don't know the extent of the waste/fraud. But sure, keep pretending like everything is OK.


The system is audited. But it needs more. MCPS should have a dedicated inspector general.


Can you think of any other multi-BILLION dollar enterprise without one? Cannot fathom how MoCo got away with good governance awards with such a gaping hole.

Fairfax county - equivalent budget has had an independent IG for 50 years.


Superintendent Taylor says IG report on waste is not relevant. MCPS wasting millions can continue under his administration.


Huh? Citation please.

I hear what you're saying but can you back these claims up with anything aside from anecdotes?


Maybe this PP is talking about Monifa? She got a big pay out and then got promoted to a cushy job at UMD, after leaving MCPS in shambles.


You can hate on Dr. McKnight all you want, but, MCPS was in shambles way before her.


She was a huge part of the problem, but the BOE is an equally big part of the problem. She inherited a mess, did nothing, and left it a bigger mess. The BOE scapegoated her (probably with good cause but still)... they need to be held accountable now.


I know! She used her time machine to create these problems decades ago.


Her job was to fix the problems, regardless of whether they were already in place or created during her tenure. She didn't do that, and in fact made things worse.


Her brief tenure was spent mostly defending against the constant attacks from the Karens who post here. They seemed to be against her from day 1 and never gave her a chance. Some speculate it was because she was an AA woman.


You're never going to convince us that Monifa was some victim in her downfall from MCPS. She failed. Own it. Move on. To state otherwise really strips her own agency and whether you realize it or not, that is actually just as bad. If you believe she is a competent, capable leader, then you also can't simultaneously portray as a helpless, powerless victim. She could and should have done things better and differently, but she didn't. That's fine. Life goes on.

We wished you guys would move on...but every week, you guys start a new thread related to Dr. McKnight.
She's living rent-free in your heads.


Hard to move on from Dr. McKnight when we keep learning about the negative consequences her poor decisions at MCPS have meant for students, staff, and taxpayers.


No new thread but new fraud in contracting under McKnight.

Parents coalition analysis is spot on.
That is why the MCPS budget was $30M short this year.
It will be worse next year the more buses they lease from the disreputable company.

MCPS is not MoCo.
MCPS is audited.


Post a link to the audit you think exists.
