Montoya will have trouble finding the bathroom at MCPS, she knows so little.

Clearly Harris has no clue about budgets given the mess we’re in. But, they have a new building and Lynne has all that flair 🤣

Montoya has never worked with a budget before, so if you think that she is a plum replacement, you would be mistaken. Mostly, she has her own type of up-in-smoke flair.

Don't see the problem. It's volunteer work for the public good.

Even if they got that $$$ there's no end to the random things they'll invest in since there's no oversight.

Yes, it was already posted upthread that campaign volunteering is SSL-eligible.

Here is the rule.

Can SSL hours be earned for service to political organizations or individuals running for public office?

Yes. Any student interested in earning service-learning hours for involvement in activities that support political parties or individuals running for public office must first submit MCPS Form 560-50, Individual Student Service Learning Request (formerly Request for SSL Preapproval). Once this request has been granted, the student may provide service within the SSL guidelines in public places under the supervision of an adult, not a relative, representing the party or candidate. Neither door-to-door neighborhood canvassing nor solicitation of financial donations are permitted for SSL hours.

Evidently, neither has Harris. Unless of course you include her budget for flare. 🤣

This seems fine to me. I would say that regardless of the candidate. Volunteering on a political campaign is actually a really cool opportunity for teens, and I assume any candidate could submit the form to ensure that their campaign is eligible.

If other candidates haven't done so, that's on them, not on the folks who managed to submit the form.

Who enforces this and where do we find out who filled out the forms?

Each MS and HS has an SSL coordinator.

Smondrowski is now a lame duck until her term ends on December 1.
