The OIG finds that Biedleman violated MCPS policies and code of conduct

[Anonymous]

I’m not defending the abuser, but why isn’t the mainstream reporting more about his financial indiscretions. Might explain why some faculty/staff keep defending him.

There are also many men who were mistreated, bullied and retaliated against by this man and his enablers.

He didn’t care about the kids. He barely dealt with them. He cared about the power he held over everyone in that building. He cared about being the most powerful man in the room at all times. He cared about sleeping with his secretary and getting whatever he wanted by manipulating and intimidating.

So is that what happened? Jane Doe found out he was allegedly sleeping with the Secretary and got upset.

Did you even pay attention. It wasn't just the secretary, he harassed multiple women and students. That's not ok. And, its not ok he was having a public affair while married.

Are you assuming it’s the secretary? I believe it’s the social studies teacher that willingly sent him nude pics. Maybe you are getting your information incorrectly. All consenting adults and yea against the code of conduct but consensual.

The report says, "In 2017, Beidleman was
reimbursed for a hotel room he reserved in connection with a Farquhar leadership team
development event. The expense was later determined by MCPS’s internal audit unit to not be in compliance with MCPS policy, however they did not require him to repay the funds."

There's a few questions with this portion of the report. Did other leadership team members get reimbursed for their hotels rooms?

Why are they going to Baltimore? And how much of the school's funds were spent over the years for the leadership team to go to Baltimore for "development"? Development is really a vague term when he was actually holding his summer ILT meetings in a hotel in Baltimore. He would get a conference room, have the majority of the ILT book a hotel room and after their meetings, the partying would start. Meanwhile, summer ILT meetings at most schools are conducted in school buildings. What else was paid for by MCPS?

Are a school's funds public information? And did any of the staff members care about these events while they were on ILT? Are any of those staff members now saying he mistreated them?

This! I’ve learned that he really bullied and railed against the male staff. Someone said there were only 5 male classroom teachers most of the time he was there

No. He should be fired for repeatedly sexually harassing and retaliating against staff members he supervised. He created a toxic workplace environment. This was a Title IX violation of the victims’ civil rights.

Ok so you agree these are not criminal acts…. Let’s stop the exploitation of a black man and trying to lock him up for non criminal acts. Should we look into some of the “victims” complaints and whether this is retaliation or women scorned? Should we look into the true reason why some so called victims felt the need to turn on him when things didn’t go their way? In my opinion some of the instances are just out right ridiculous and some are a true case of neglect and retaliation on the so called victims part.

Thank you for your comments, Joel.

Holding his ILT out of town, at a hotel. Huh.

I’ve always wondered why we can’t see every penny a school spends. They are public so it should be readily available

And yes, how is it that he didn’t have to payback that money. Just another example of how he was protected. The next IG report is going to be fire

Yes, there will be a second IG report about how MCPS promoted him when there was an investigation going on at the same time.

At least he is out of that building but it skewed Paint Branch over.

He was definitely shady with money. Even last year, weird fundraising, requesting end of year activity money be sent directly to the main office, selling extra tickets to the 8th grade promotion. He was very demanding of the pta as well.

Because it's none of your business that a principle used their discretionary funds to help the xx number of students whose families couldn't afford school field trips, or other items
