+1. Montoya has just been a PTA president for a year, and that went badly apparently.

I’d take someone who didn’t do a great job organizing bake sales at the local PTA over Harris, the current BOE member responsible for losing $40 million for the school system due to her failure to fulfill her oversight role.

Very few PTA presidents do much but delegate and if the people they delegate to don't follow though...that's on them. Our current pta president does almost nothing and as a volunteer when you reach out it takes a week or two to respond and they don't follow through.

You seem to be uninformed about both candidates.

Naw. You just seem to be desperate to deflect this massive S show for Harris.

You know what the NCC parents say about Montoya's tenure as the PTA president there and are OK with that?

Yes. You know what MCPS has been like while Harris has been a BOE member with a track record of doing nothing and, most recently, overseeing the group that just lost $40 million and are OK with that?

You don't understand how board committees work. They don't "oversee" the central office staff. The superintendent and her/his deputies do that.

You don't seem to understand. Yes, they oversee everything. Ultimately they and Dr. Taylor are accountable

What were these NCC parents doing to support her? Were they expecting her to do it all?

You misspelled Dr. McKnight.

The key issue is that Montoya alienated other parents. She isn't a leader within a group. If she can't do it as a PTA president at an ES, she will not do it on the BOE. At this point in the campaign, she has heard enough from other candidates to say politically correct, general statements, but she knows nothing about the job. I would have more respect for someone who put in the time to learn the system, laws and regulations, and understand the in-depth issues (like budgeting) that board members must know to make an informed contribution.

MCEA called for a strike? Really? That would be truly amazing if it were true because MCEA does not have the right to call a strike. That’s part of the deal under the union’s collective bargaining agreement. In order to be the teacher representative in negotiations, the union gives up the right to strike. It’s illegal for teachers to strike in Maryland.

This is Just Moore of the same nonsense that a post with an apparant grudge against her keeps posting.

I’m sorry she didn’t choose you as head of the school party planning committee when she was pta president but you gotta let it go. It isn’t healthy to hold grudges like this.

Keep Brenda Diaz off of the BOE.

Yes. I'll be fine with any combination of the other candidates winning as long as Diaz loses.

I'm fine with Diaz losing if Zimmerman also loses.
