Weren’t there only two years left on her contract?

Yes that is how you know that is a troll.

I'm sure we're at least paying one year severance. Maybe more if MCPS was worried about a lawsuit.

I wouldn’t say at least that much. They might have settled for as little as 6 months or even less if the redacted stuff in that report was worse than we think. I’d think 6 months would be a good deal for everyone to move on with no further dirt slinging but a year would not totally surprise me. If we paid more than a year I think we got ripped off.

Given her contract terms gave her 1 year severance, it is hard for me to imagine her agreeing to any less.

Not if they were going to fire her for cause.

Whatever the settlement, thank goodness she is gone and we can move forward.

Hush money

Taxpayers should know what was spent on this

Right. The Board wants to wrap this up before too many people ask about their complicity.

That definitely would have led to a lawsuit that wouldn't have looked good for the Board. There was effectively no chance of that.

Alexandra robbins we need you to investigate what’s happening at Travilah elementary!!!

Teachers leaving in DROVES, front office admins who have been there for 20 years retired early, teachers have been trying to get help from union and BOE alleging hostile work environment, walking on eggshells around angry and demanding principal who drowns them in paperwork and creates a miserable work environment, written up for anything that happens including encouraging teachers to speak up dj things are going wrong.
We are seriously worried as parents about our wonderful school, teachers are afraid and they are leaving and teachers are our treasure and our MVPS, we need them supported and cared for!!!

They still have to show up before the council next week, so it's not over.

Alexandra Robbins is MOCO WOMAN OF THE YEAR in my book.

Amazing work. A superintendent vanquished by a sub.

Is that a real number? That makes me so mad. That is funds that could have gone to actually educate students and pay teachers and staff.

+1 I am so grateful for her work. I don't have much hope for MCPS honestly but what little is left is thanks to Robbins and Asbury
