This is awful reporting - lots of incorrect information. Starting with her title which is Chief of District Operations.

She is not one of the 5. She's not in the Jackson Lewis report at all. HR had the no high season leave long before she came to HR.

Sorry mocoshow wannabe, this is a flop.

Thanks for the correction. I guess that is what we get for using MoCo360 article as a source instead of verifying with MCPS website. Lesson learned and will correct.

You know the identities of everyone in the report? That would be useful information which I'm sure you won't share.

Weak effort, throwing shade after plagiarizing!

Facts never really mattered here. There weren't a lot of them to begin with. It was always a witchhunt.

Seems like a lot of hype for 30 anonymous complaints and a teacher who was sexting Biedleman nude pics.

So, there are 30 or so victims, and 80 or so witnesses. Most of these are anonymous to US, the general public, but they are not anonymous to the reporter who interviewed them, her editors, or to the OIG investigators who found that JB violated the MCPS Code of Conduct.

Making anonymous claims doesn't carry a lot of weight. It's primarily unsubstantiated gossip being hyped by the people who would do anything to push their political agenda.

If you make them to journalists and inspectors who corroborate them, which has been the case here, then they do carry a lot of weight.

ABC7 followed up on MCPS - Council hearing last week

Poorly researched article. Handy is a MCAAP employee, not MCPS.

It never said Handy was an MCPS employee. It said she was appointed to the anti-harassment commission despite her checkered record on protecting people from sexual violence. MCPS is keeping her on the commission even though people are upset. One thing you can always count on MCPS to do is double down on indefensible decisions.

It seems pretty clear that Handy's on the commission simply because she's the president of MCAAP. If MCAAP wants someone else to represent them as their president, that's up to them, not MCPS.

McKnight set up the fake committee and defined the members as "experts." Nothing about the president of anything makes them an expert on sexual harassment claims.

I'm not defending McKnight. Just pointing out that the union presidents were obviously added to the committee because of their roles, not because they had specific expertise.

Of the two, the Handy placement on the committee is defensible for the reason you stated. MCPS, if it was wise, could've insisted on one of Handy's deputies serving on the committee rather than her for the optics. But that would require MCPS to be intelligent about that sort of thing, which they absolutely aren't.

I’m just surprised the QO principal isn’t on the committee!

Your obsession with the QO principal is weird. You can't take them down with you if they didn't make the same mistakes.

Same thing can be said about the group of posters that wanted to take down McKnight from day one and look where that got em...

If you have a legitimate complaint, go to the IG. Posting anonymous complaints on DCUM is pointless.

First of all, she was not the only person that complained about his toxic leadership. Second, a principal should absolutely be fired for having sex with their subordinates whether or not the affair included stalking and retaliation like it did in this case.

You can’t stalk someone that sends you nude pics, calls you babe and hangs out with you after work. Subordinates should be fired as well that engage in sexual acts with their bosses. These are not children. I bet that this teacher was afraid of getting found out by the higher ups and decided to flip the script. That’s when Beidleman got scared and in her mind she called it harassment. The social studies teacher is the main culprit. Everything else are anonymous complaints and were either dealt with or just plain dumb.

If I recall, the employee code of conduct condemns having a relationship with people you supervise, not having a relationship with your superior. It's a conflict of interest, but the supervisor should know better. It's a violation of that.

So are subordinates that dumb that they don’t know better? Are teachers looked at as dumb and irrational? I believe teachers are very smart and know better than to have a relationship or come onto their bosses. New policies will be implemented stating that subordinates too will be held accountable for having sexual relationships with their supervisors as the should be.

Dana Edwards is back on leave.

Not according to the staff directory. She’s still in charge of district operations.

Along with the QO Principal who is a known sexual harasser of male staff members in mcps but it’s ok for a woman to sexually harass a man and it is looked down upon to report it. I suggest mcps and reporters look into the current QO principal.

I think it's really irresponsible to say things like this with no evidence and no basis. This is someone's career we're talking about. You clearly have a vendetta.

This whole scandal was just a vendetta. Beidleman had to go, but this fuss over a few anonymous complaints seems unprecedented.
