MCPS Brian Hill Dissembles

[Anonymous]

To be honest, when I saw a message from him come via email I assumed it was his resignation for his reported role in the sexual harassment cover-up that was in that article last week.

School administrators were expecting tomorrow to be virtual but in the end MCPS could not get their act together. I’m not sure why they didn’t prepare for this in December.
With virtual, you need to be ready to go.
Prep should be done way ahead of any storm threat.

If parents only knew what a cluster today was for school admin trying to prep for a potential virtual day tomorrow. The lack of communication from central, rumors, various offices sending out conflicting information. etc. His email at the end of the day was a nice slap in the face. Just bold face lies.

Did you notice how the last paragraph/sentence is written in a different font color?

I've been on the authoring side of these kinds of messages. Obviously this went through multiple rounds of drafting and review by administrators and public affairs staff. But it's pretty disappointing nobody apparently bothered to point out there was no reason to include the "as a reminder" phrase, which was so obviously a lie when it was clear schools were told to prepare for virtual.

Seriously. Admin were all told to prep for code purple and email staff and families, then when many schools said they couldn’t make it happen at the last minute, Hull claims it was never on the table? What the heck?

Yeah. I believe this because our elementary school was clearly prepping for virtual.

Didn't you read his message. Obviously they never considered virtual because, as he reminded us, virtual was only intended for multi-day events.

You don't think MCPS would lie to us, do you?

That would require him to have shame or a boss a who insisted on integrity.

I think we can imagine but I’m really sorry you ran around like that and then got gaslit.

To be fair, it was predictable. Anyone familiar with elementary schools knew they couldn't do virtual. And the central office was never going to fess up to their incompetence.

What needs to be done besides taking home your Chromebook from the cart and a charger? Some younger kids may need password help. Are they set up with the right program for the online learning (zoom? Canvas? Other?)? Seems like the start of the next quarter would be a good time to make sure everyone is set up for this.

Or make sure there are make-up days in the calendar.

Oh great! We already did that one!

You're obsessed with make-up days. Posting in every thread you can...there are other options and they should be used.
