Give Taylor's CIP recommendations a chance

[dony898]

$2.78 billion over 6 years and nobody in this thread is explaining what it's actually for, just arguing about trust.

That "gem" was already gone long before Taylor arrived.

Unbelievable that OP feels it’s their duty and job to beg the public to not be critical of the superintendent of our school system who is deciding how to use our tax dollars to educate our kids.

Are you insane?

Furthermore, if Taylor cannot defend his plans or ideas to the public, then they’re probably not sound.

OP doesn't even know Wootton is in Rockville.

He can’t defend them, but he doesn’t have to because he has the BOE votes in hand before he makes a move. The community is irrelevant unless they speak through the BOE.

Taylor is smart, practical, and while he’s more politically savvy than our last few supers, he’s not as plugged into the insiders as he needs to be. If he was, he wouldn’t be relying on Essie M as his liaison.

He’s not practical nor savvy.

Taylor was our own worst enemy when it came to presenting a coherent, rationale CIP proposal. Instead, he tries to give Sligo Creek ES the bums rush out of its facility, into a new school where they would share the property with a private school leasing from MCPS. He tried to take Eastern MS from 950 students to 1500, when he knows that the evidence clearly shows that 1200 students should be the limit. He set all these schools up like dominos, predicated on closing SSIMS in a five-week process.That didn't work.

March Elrich called him on his BS.

BTW, Taylor is exactly the kind of Bro who would lurk on a page like this and start anonymously posting in favor of his misguided (often racially biased) positions.

Im willing to give it a shot, the hysterics on here might not but forever will be the case. Its "not a home run of what I want", isn't the sound argument you think it is. Saying that every poor kid isn't better off the way you think they should be isn't a management plan either. Balancing modernization at the schools that are working and empowering programs that allow load balancing long term is putting tools in place that can be used going forward is a better plan than currently exists to incorperate flexiblity and student choices

You can pour billions over billions and the educational outcomes (reading, math, knowledge about the world) will not get any better. It is a fundamental problem all school systems are facing. MCPS could have been creative, but we end up in bickering and politics and BOE and this forum.

Sounds like Dr. Taylor when he recommended Option H - “I can’t please everyone “…. He doesn’t seem to want to please anyone but his political bosses.

I can't even figure out which political bosses he's pleasing though. Because he has pissed off every level of government in Rockville with his Option H decision: https://montgomeryperspective.com/2026/02/06/rockville-mayor-city-council-members-disappointed-with-superintendent-on-wootton/
