An increase in reporting does not mean an increase in incidence. Many cases predate smith. |
He hits nothing but homeruns in my book. Not sure why the cranks hate him but you know DCUM got to DCUM. |

Ah but what exactly has he done? Not enough to say he’s great. Full stop.
Also, correction on Starr’s tenure. Although Starr was a dud, Curriculum 2.0 was not his baby. It was the ‘great’ Jerry Weast - who got a nice trip to Australia and New Zealand out of the deal (and likely some capital for his consulting business) |
Funny, because someone keep posting this nonsense. But you never actually lost the great things that Jack Smith has done. Feel free to back up your posts and maybe we could take you more seriously. |
There is some truth to that. But, Smith certainly has not made things better. |
Yep. I look forward to the results of the $450K anti-racism study. Surely that will lead to revolutionary changes. Great way to spend money during a pandemic. I can’t roll my eyes enough at how much Smith has wasted taxpayer money. |
Damascus? Seneca Valley? Blair? Einstein? Magruder? That's just a few of the top of my head all during the wonderful Jack Smith era. Code of conduct has not been updated since he has been at the helm. There is no consequences for serious offenses of violence, sexual assault, racism, etc. The fact that he saved the Damascus principal by bringing her to central office when she was caught red-handed trying to cover up crimes. If he couldn't push to have her dismissed, it shows it's not a priority for him. |
Improving education for all students should be a priority for MCPS but what would actually help black and brown students more, spending $450k to put an extra teacher in 9 elementary schools to lower class sizes, put $450k into weekend/summer support programs for struggling students or spending $450k on a study. Jack loves paralysis by analysis. Beat a topic down with anecdotal data but not actually put money into fixing the problem. |
Jack stop complementing yourself on DCUM and actually do your job. |
| How would he be fired? Does it take a unanimous vote from BOE or just a MJ majority? |
| Board said they wouldn't renew Starr's contract and he left early. Unfortunately Smith was just renewed (4 more years). Chances are he won't finish his term and Monifa will take over. Everyone knows and expects this. For him to be fired at this point, it would have to be something egregious. |
Jack, you tired? |
| Damascus. The fact no one was fired for this horrific incident is damning. He had his leadership moment - and blew it. Real leader would have resigned. |

That Jack Smith and/or Jeff Sullivan are still employed shows a stunning lack of ethos |
| Jack Smith is eliminating zeroes for missing work. You should love him! |
