Maryland Board of Education denies appeal by MCPS, says electric bus contract is illegal

[Anonymous]

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. (7News) — Maryland's State Board of Education just upheld its decision on the $168 million electric bus contract awarded to Highland Electric Fleets by the Montgomery County Public School District.

Last fall, the state board called the deal illegal, saying the district violated its own procurement rules. The district appealed that decision, and today the state board denied that appeal. The district terminated the bus contract last summer.

I thought posters on this board in the Option H said that MCPS always follows the law and consults with the State BOE to ensure it is on solid ground.

Could you imagine electric busses unable to operate in this kind of weather?

Activists don’t think their plans through sometimes.

For some reason, people on DCUM don't get so worked up about the EV bus contract fraud and MCPS's refusal to comply with state rulings.
