Yes, there must be structural changes to how MCPS is run.

Ask each BOE candidate whether they support structural changes and vote out those supporting the status quo.

Can you elaborate on structural change? Can you provide concrete examples of how this would help the county function?

Start with this:

Point out for us which of these things is not already included in the McPS budget?

There will be a national search but the finalists all will have MCPS already on resume. It’s too highly paid to give to outsider. Likely, all finalists will have connection to Discovery Channel education and/or Pearson.

It seems like they want someone who will focus on everything but education.

Look at what is boldface and in all caps in the proposed bill. Key section is requiring county government approval for transfer of money that is 1% or more of budget from one part of the budget to another part of the budget.
