Why wasn't Felder there today? She's technically part of the BOE and Dr. Taylor thanked her by name.

The state already changed the rules for virtual weather days. Won’t see them unless we’ve exhausted all 10 built in make up days. Anyone paying attention to BOE meetings already knew this

If I did a job interim and you told me not to apply, I wouldn’t show up for the announcement of the guy you picked either. Good for her, frankly.

LOL Touché. I forgot they did tell her not to bother applying for the full-time gig.

These comments from the Washington Post are really concerning And seem credible. I was able to find a link to the heat exhaustion event that he talks about, and also to protest about removal of a certain principal. I don’t know about educators, leaving in droves.

From the comments, section in the Washington Post article:
Ummm…this guy gutted Stafford’s central school district’s office devolving so much work back on to school buildings and teachers that SCPS has been hemorrhaging teachers for the past three years.

He started his tenure, in Stafford, insisting on an expensive ceremony wherein he forced every teacher in the county out to the Fredericksburg baseball stadium in the August heat to hear a pep talk by some guy who, I guess, used to live in Stafford. This was after multiple people tried to stop him telling him that heat like that was dangerous for many of the teachers who would have no escape from the sun. Lo and behold: he didn’t listen, didn’t provide enough water or shade/cooling areas, and multiple people ended up in the hospital for heat exhaustion that day.

Taylor removed a beloved principal from a high school who had led the school through the pandemic saying that they “didn’t have enough experience” and replaced that principal with his secretary’s husband who had been principal of a middle school for a couple of years. That guy presided over the biggest fight the school has ever seen and made such a mess of it that it ended up on the national news.

Why bother waiting even four hours before deciding that MCPS made a terrible mistake?

You need a life. Do you even have a PhD yourself? Is that why you're so chagrined?

What an ignorant comment. Is MCPS expected to only hire black women as superintendents going forward?

The people who don’t understand that a virtual day in January is preferable to an EXTRA in person day in June are probably the stupidest people on the planet.
