Any updates on Beidleman?

One of the speakers in the board meeting yesterday said something about a report that was supposed to be released in October and staff on hand proudly updated that it will come out in December. But nobody ever updates on delays or holds anyone accountable. That goes back to leadership who don't think they're accountable to anyone. She is responsible for that.

Another example - her contract clearly said she's supposed to live in Montgomery County and the contract generously gave her a full year to move (plus the months where she wasn't officially super but knew she had the job). She waited until the last possible minute ...supposedly...but there is some weird stuff afoot with her claiming her house in PG is her principal residence. You can't live in Bethesda to get residency for a job and have your principal residence for tax relief be in PG.

I agree with others you seem to have it out for McKnight. Why do you care soo much where she lives and when she moves. That has no bearing in her ability to do the job and housing is a mess right now.

The buck can stop with a leader and they shoulder the blame without them actually being at fault or having done anything maliciously. Especially when it seems that the transgression span years before then. McKnight hired some people but some she also inherited. It’s not like she fired the entirety of CO or the school system writ large and started from scratch.

Are there changes needed? Yes. Are there people that should be held accountable? Yes. Should we let the investigation finish? Yes

She signed a contract saying she would move to Montgomery County. If she doesn't live here and hasn't negotiated a new contract, she is in breach. That is unethical. The market is a mess, yes, and had she negotiated an extension to that clause, nobody would care. But she's unethical and thinks she can get away with being unethical because the board never holds her accountable. And that is DIRECTLY related to this Beidelman issue.

And all of you McKnight defenders probably think she's really sick, too.

Just like the old thread.

People post objective facts

example "McKnight's contract has required her to live in the county"

reply from central office bot "WHY DO YOU CARE WHERE SHE LIVES"

"Biedleman has been accused of 25 violations of sexual harassment"

reply "LEAVE HIM ALONE, WHY ARE YOU OBSESSED WITH HIM

Rinse, repeat.

You don't know she doesn't live in the county. Unless you're a stalker.

I am not one of the people who has been tracking this issue, but her home of record is something that is well documented in publicly available information.

We know from the hard work of local journalists that she changed her address briefly to a location in Montgomery county and then changed it back to a location in Prince George's county. One does not have to have it out for her or have an overly suspicious mind to look at that fact pattern and think she was trying to get away with something.

She makes $300k a year. The market is not a mess for people who make $300k a year. The problem is how it reflects on her integrity. If she didn’t want to move here, she shouldn’t have signed the contract.

I'm the poster above you.

No- i don't know if she is living up to one of the conditions of her contract regarding residency. I dont really care all that much given the much bigger issues facing herself, Biedleman and MCPS at the moment, but it is something that would be easy enough to comply with, given her salary.

Take a shift or two off of the "reflexively defending McKnight, and Biedleman" job. It's almost the weekend.

She has never been held accountable for anything involving lack of integrity and when anyone outside the MCPS bubble votes no confidence or questions her, she trots out her defenders (remember what happened when unions voted no confidence and people were expressing concerns about her candidacy and the MoCo Black pastors came out in force and said that was motivated by racism?). Right now, she's got multiple defenders saying the public needs to give her time to recover from her illness.

Most people don’t care where McKnight lives as long as it’s commuting distance to MCPS. It’s not something we’re going to harp on/investigate during the Beidelman debacle or any other time because there are more important concerns and interest.

There is nothing funny about the reporting from the Washington Post.

Thank God for it- because no one else in local media or politics had even scratched the surface of these fairly massive scandals.

They have done yeoman work.

I don't actually care that much about where she lives, but I care very much that she changed her residence just long enough to nominally comply with the letter of her contract, and then secretly changed it back for tax benefit.

That's a character issue. It also shows a contempt for the contract that she knowingly signed, and doesn't give me confidence in her integrity more broadly.

These people are McKnight Stalkers! It's been going on since she became super. They're looking for any excuse to find fault and have her removed. Pretty clear their hatred is racially motivated.

What concerns me is you are more concerned about things like these small details of her contract than you are about Bieldman harassing all these women.
