Friday, January 23 Board of Education meeting

[Anonymous]

Anyone attending? What’s happening?

I’d like the Board to give greater attention and implementation of MCPS equity and diversity initiatives.

Retreat for norms/team building. Probably no meamingful record, despite it's touching on important matters, like governance, appeals and the repeatedly ignored advisory committee on comms/community engagement.

They meet again on Saturday. All day both days. No record of what they discuss or vote on. Any parents or students attending?

There wouldn't be any votes. That requires a business meeting, I believe. That doesn't mean they won't discuss the above on-the-agenda matters and come to an unofficial conclusion/consensus with a formal vote at a later time.

Today and tomorrow are just a retreat. But was there anything notable from the actual business meeting yesterday?

Just want they want. Parents who think the word retreat means nothing of substance will be done or decided. That’s never been the case in the past. A two day meeting off camera means a lot will happen.

It's open to the public, yes?
