Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS)

In case anyone had plans at RM tomorrow. This is a DNC sponsored political event and it does impact school activities and obviously traffic around the school.
https://bethesdamagazine.com/2022/08/24/biden-democrats-richard-montgomery-rockville/ From the article: “The event impacts pre-service week activities for teachers who are preparing for Monday’s start of classes, Cram wrote in an email. Teachers will be offered a monetary adjustment to cover time lost, Cram wrote, and the exact amount has yet to be determined.” |
| Saw them leaving Rehoboth in a helicopter today. That was very cool. |
|
i hope the dnc and not the school system/our tax dollars covers the monetary adjustment.
also, dr jill just got rebound covid, so i wonder if it will be cancelled or modified to virtual (or without her in attendance) |
There was a very detailed letter sent out to the community (staff, families, etc.) explaining this event. Are you not connected directly to MCPS? Our school facilities are rented out all the time and it generates money. |
| Will it be on the local news or watchable somewhere on line? |
The detailed letter sent out states that teachers will need to be compensated for their missed pre-service time. That will be taxpayer funded by Montgomery County taxpayers, not by the DNC. Not sure how Jill will be there when she has rebound Covid. |
DP. I actually have 2 kids at RM. This event definitely impact the RM community. Today is not the most convenient time to do it, for about a billion reasons. But, I guess the DNC runs things in MoCo, so it is what it is. |
Like the PP said, organizations, including political ones, are able to rent out many county buildings, including schools. https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/CUPF/info-reservation/MCPS.html |

Not money for MCPS. |
And RM is a solidly Democrat school - teachers, staff, families. Predominantly Democrats. So this was the high school for the Bidens to choose. Who doesn’t like Biden? Go Democrats! |
I doubt it had anything to do with that. More likely it was good security wise for whatever reason. |
My guess is Jill will just wear a mask and come anyway. Unlikely they go virtual. |
My neighbor said they were choosing between 3 options - Blair, RM and Great Seneca. Ended up at RM. |
