Keep making up your own fantasies. She's still connected to her laptop and work phone.

You are making up fantasies if you think she was actually working via a laptop and work phone. She was on vacation. What exactly came out of that trip/visit? Please, share with us.

Let me guess you can't stand that an AA woman is in charge of MCPS?

Bingo

What was accomplished during the trip that could not have been done over the phone?

That can be said for all business travel, but people still feel it's important. Anyway, sounds like you have a beef with Dr. McKnight and are just looking for nits to pick.

Most business travel is unnecessary and many companies have significantly cut back except MCPS.

I don't have any beef with Dr. McKnight. I couldn't care less who runs MCPS but I do care about the wasteful spending when our kids are going without because they claim there is no money.

Your posts sure make it seem otherwise.

I would have an issue with any administrator doing this regardless of race. You can play the race game but it’s not about race but what is a good use of mcps money, taxpayer money and what it accomplished. You have yet to say what it accomplished.

Different poster, but no one here knows if this accomplished anything or not. Its an assumption either way unless you get a debrief from Dr. McKnight of possibly Central Office. The question that should be asked is why are people assuming ill will about Dr. MCKnight and this trip or this portion her trip with no evidence.

I agree with the posters who are supporting McKnight because I honestly don’t get the hate folks have for her. She obviously trying to engage with the district community, she has a Strategic plan, is improving communication, working to get kids caught up, and working with all parties on the benchmark curroculum. Like what really do folks want from her.

Back to the topic, how did this trip/college visit benefit MCPS.

Actually, she isn't trying to engage with the district community. She's holding public meetings, unmasked in large groups. That might be ok for your family, but not ours. She's done nothing to engage the community we are in, in terms of schooling.

The only positive thing I see she is doing is bring back the police/security to the schools.

Really? I get emails from her constantly about community engagement. I'm not keen about turning schools into prisons.

However, it seems like you just have it out for Dr. McKnight. Makes me wonder if you were poster calling her Monifa a week ago?

I know! This poster obsessed with Dr. McKnight and I'm beginning to think they have issues with an AA woman running things too.

Enlighten us, what did she accomplish on that trip?

Do you have evidence that this wasn't a legitimate trip or are you just obsessing over her?

So, basically you are confirming this was not a legit trip on tax payer money. Our kids go without basic things while she’s living it up.

You're assumption is this trip wasn't legit because she visited a HBCU? This fails any reasonable burden of proof and seems racist.

Actually you are making it about race. It has nothing to do with what an HBCU. It has to do with an out of state, no name nothing school that has less than 3000 students TOTAL, which means maybe a few hundred at most in their education program. Of those few hundred, what maybe one at most might consider moving so is that a good use of HER time and MCPS resources? Of course not. Visiting local schools, makes far more sense and there are several HBCU schools in MD/DC/VA that she hasn't visited. This was a personal trip. And, while she was there did she visit other schools, or just that one.

And, exactly, what was the purpose of the visit? Did she even meet with students? Or, just the head of school for a 5 minute visit? What was accomplished at the meeting.

What is offensive that you cannot understand is that many of us are still being very cautious and she's running around without a mask, traveling and not setting a good example to families as a public official (same issue with Biden and others). Central Office is seeing a high number of positives. Given all the needs of MCPS, visiting a small college most people haven't heard of is NOT a good use of her time. Her behavior is appalling and she should be setting a good example by masking especially in photo opps.

Tell me, beyond bringing back the security, what has she done to benefit our students?

And, for those of us with health issues, what has she done to make the schools safe for our kids to return? I see nothing.

They just keep casting these aspersations with no evidence hoping that if they just say it enough it will stick. They seem obsessed with Dr. McKngiht.

Who’s they?

Parents who are unhappy at the backward slide in education in MCPS?

Teachers and school administrators who gave Dr. McKnight a vote of no confidence for her lack of leadership?

People who have been retaliated against for reporting serious violations of civil rights to state and federal agencies?

Students, parents, teachers, and state administrators who see Dr. McKnight’s actions fail to make her propaganda slogans like Put Students First into reality in MCPS? Dr. McKnight is not a CEO of a private company, yet she wastes public tax dollars without any oversight or ethics. Actions speak louder than words and her actions show she is untrustworthy.

So now this is about something altogether different? Basically when you're caught making up these false accusations you change the subject LOL!

However, it seems like you just have it out for Dr. McKnight. Makes me wonder if you were poster calling her Monifa a week ago?

I know! This poster obsessed with Dr. McKnight and I'm beginning to think they have issues with an AA woman running things too.

Enlighten us, what did she accomplish on that trip?[/quote

Do you have evidence that this wasn't a legitimate trip or are you just obsessing over her?

So, basically you are confirming this was not a legit trip on tax payer money. Our kids go without basic things while she’s living it up.

You're assumption is this trip wasn't legit because she visited a HBCU? This fails any reasonable burden of proof and seems racist.

They just keep casting these aspersations with no evidence hoping that if they just say it enough it will stick. They seem obsessed with Dr. McKngiht.

Your screaming racism because someone doesn't agree with you is absurd. You fail to see the issue that she traveled to her home town where her family is on tax payer money to have a few minute meeting with the head of the school. She didn't meet with students or anyone else per the photograph. It is also offensive she is traveling and being unmasked regardless of who she is when she should be setting a good example during covid. There are plenty of local HBCU that have much larger teacher programs that would make far more sense to visit. There are also plenty of other colleges with large teacher programs locally. How many teachers do you think she actually recruited. Given the distance, its not like she's getting student volunteers to work in the school... this was a personal trip on tax payer money. If you cannot see that as an issue and all you can do is scream racism, maybe you should look at yourself.

She is not doing her job if she is traveling.

Keep making up your own fantasies. She's still connected to her laptop and work phone.

You are making up fantasies if you think she was actually working via a laptop and work phone. She was on vacation. What exactly came out of that trip/visit? Please, share with us.

Let me guess you can't stand that an AA woman is in charge of MCPS?

Bingo

What was accomplished during the trip that could not have been done over the phone?

That can be said for all business travel, but people still feel it's important. Anyway, sounds like you have a beef with Dr. McKnight and are just looking for nits to pick.

Most business travel is unnecessary and many companies have significantly cut back except MCPS.

I don't have any beef with Dr. McKnight. I couldn't care less who runs MCPS but I do care about the wasteful spending when our kids are going without because they claim there is no money.

Your posts sure make it seem otherwise.

I would have an issue with any administrator doing this regardless of race. You can play the race game but it’s not about race but what is a good use of mcps money, taxpayer money and what it accomplished. You have yet to say what it accomplished.

Different poster, but no one here knows if this accomplished anything or not. Its an assumption either way unless you get a debrief from Dr. McKnight of possibly Central Office. The question that should be asked is why are people assuming ill will about Dr. MCKnight and this trip or this portion her trip with no evidence.

I agree with the posters who are supporting McKnight because I honestly don’t get the hate folks have for her. She obviously trying to engage with the district community, she has a Strategic plan, is improving communication, working to get kids caught up, and working with all parties on the benchmark curroculum. Like what really do folks want from her.

Back to the topic, how did this trip/college visit benefit MCPS.

Actually, she isn't trying to engage with the district community. She's holding public meetings, unmasked in large groups. That might be ok for your family, but not ours. She's done nothing to engage the community we are in, in terms of schooling.

If you have convinced yourself that a photograph of Dr. McKnight meeting with a university president proves that "she didn't meet with students or anyone else," then you are so far gone there's no point in arguing with you.

And others are so far gone that they fail to see how Dr. McKnight could make better use of her time by recruiting from the many leading institutions in the DC Metro area. Did she pay for the trip out of her own salary or take personal leave for the trip? Or did she have a one hour meeting and travel for free and without taking leave? If the latter then she is a truly unethical government employee.

Can you say anything of substance or will you just deflect?

And, that is the million dollar question! But, this is a tiny school so what kinds of connections is she forming when there are about 50 students majoring in education and all are out of state. Internships, employment, volunteering? What?

OR the ones complaining about Dr. McKnight’s trip fail to understand, 1) There is a national shortage of people applying to teaching colleges, 2) the number of people leaving or retiring from the profession continues to grow, 3) MCPS already recruits from the DC metro area, 4) They are competing with every other nearby MD and vA county/city and DC for teachers from DC area colleges and universities, and 5) minority teachers are needed. Given these 5 realities, reaching beyond the DC metro area is not unreasonable and in fact wise. Doing so with a university she gas a personal relationship with and can serve as a shining example of the success that could be had is also wise.

So what is the real issue????
