What is he going to do now?

You realize he is in charge of safety and compliance, right? You realize background checks fall under both safety and compliance responsibilities, right?

He was there when Taylor was alerted, in Dec. 2024, of the non-compliance by the OIG and advised by the OIG to address the gap.

Why are you racing to hold Marcus blameless? Get a life.

Marcus and Taylor are RESPONSIBLE for not cleaning up the mess. They don't have to have originated the non-compliance to be held responsible.

April Key needs to be fired, not just demoted. And if anyone is left in the chain of command that was letting this all happen between 2019 and today, they need to go to.

Good lord, it's going to take years just to unearth all the ways that Jack Smith and Monifa McKnight harmed this system, and lord knows how long to fix them.

No one is holding anyone within MCPS blameless at this point!! What a shame

Neighbors had asked their schools about substitut teachers. The F onus should not be on little Larlo to ask the full name of a substitute teacher, remember to write it down, know how substitute teacher Mr.Z's name is spelled, or to tell their parents how it is. The parents have a right to know who is teaching in their kid's classrooms. School provides names of regular teachers, do the same when there are substitutes, para educators and their subs, volunteers, interns, high school student, supervisor et al..

Full time classroom teachers have to cover for each other all the time. I ended up doing it 3-4x a week last year. Sometimes I was the first warm body that admin came across in the hallway and I got pulled into a classroom 15 seconds before the bell rang. Often students have two or more classroom teachers doing coverage on any given day. Is that really what you want your principal to spend their time doing?

No wonder Beidleman thinks he is entitled to appeal after the fact. Look at what Taylor is modeling for all of MCPS!

Taylor has known the issues since December and the OIG calls him out for all of his deflecting and I’m here for all of it!

Taylor seems to follow Beidleman’s lead with deflect-self promote-deflate as his game strategy.

Another Super change, already??
