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

Some people would be perfectly OK with that.

Sorry. He said decried the lack of equity while comparing Gaithersburg to Potomac.

Another confident mediocre white man.

White are people too.

Why is everyone always slamming the white man. Some are capable just like a brown or black man. Keep up the racism. It will get you nowhere.

Disagree! Love snow days and virtual school so more work for parents (lower ES here). Really don't care about a couple extra days at the end.

Not sharing your preferences doesn't make someone stupid. Get over yourself.

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.

Yes please to the bolded.

I like him already.

surprised they didn't hire the outgoing superintendent from Boston who was let go after a scandal where she hired an elementary principal who was accused of intimidation.

Cambridge Schools to pay $200,000 to terminated superintendent https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2024/06/13/cambridge-schools-to-pay-200000-to-terminated-superintendent/

I guess Boston isn't as wealthy as montgomery county since she's only getting 200k.
But she previous gpt 700k in a racial discrimination suit so

Mediocre would be a step up from what we've had recently. I'm ready for dull, functional, and uninspiring. MCPS needs to master the basics again without becoming embroiled in continuous scandals and constantly chasing new fad initiatives and pilot programs that exhaust everyone and change with the wind blowing. Maybe a mediocre superintendent can accomplish supplying copy paper, glue sticks, and paper towels.
