I was very impressed by Joftus though which says a lot because I was really skeptical of him when he was selected to fill in on the BOE. I also liked Gianc(can't remember his name) but he was good - seemed passionate, smart and like a really hard worker.

It is weird as mcps is about education. They are not social services. She has zero platform on education or academics. My kids don’t need mcps as therapists. They need them as educators.

America thrust public schools into supplying social services decades ago. That horse is over the horizon.

Eh, more like Dawn has no idea what she is doing and the only thing she can rest her laurels on is mental health because that is what she does for a living...she needs to appear to be an expert in something, so she keeps pushing mental health as her platform so when asked about it she can throw her "expertise" at it. "We need THIS, so we need ME because I have knowledge about it as I work in this field." She just needs something to stick so she doesn't look like the clueless,unhinged person that she actually is.

Thought this was a helpful read about the different responsibilities of the BOE vs MCPS staff:
