And yet no one will be fired for this gross oversight and failure.

It's ok, the county council will just give them more money upon demand... no accountability.

Brian Hull?

He is long gone. I truly hope Dr. Taylor will be hold accountable, given his intentionally ignorance of the issue that appeared to his face since he took of the leadership last summer. He has nearly a year to deal with it, but he failed by intentionally hiding away from in-person meetings and then pointing the gun to the State Dept. of Education.

But I know nothing will happen to him. BOE will treat him like a god because they can't fire another superintendent in a roll.

The BOE also needs to be held accountable countable for the lack of accountability. The problem is finding people competent to run such a large school system.

He promised accountability and transparency.

Very true. Sets a bad example for students. Do as I say, not as I do. They are pushing for more accountability with students….

I wonder why that is?

Yup. Dr. Taylor was notified by the OIG directly of this non-compliance in December of last year. He did not make moves to fix the problem until the report's release was imminent in July of this year. You can't pin this on Brian Hull given that set of facts.

Taylor knew and did not immediately sound the alarms once he knew. He owns that.

You could find people who would do the job if the BOE either compensated competitively (corporate board seats typically pay on average $250,000) or was full-time with moderate compensation (similar to the County Council).

????? Paying the BOE does nothing to hire competent staff in MCPS.

Paying the BOE allows them to be accountable for true oversight.

Also, the BOE votes on a SLEW of administrative appointments. Maybe they could start by vetting and rejecting some of the candidates the superintendent puts forward for those positions instead of rubberstamping all of them.
