Taylor/MCPS/BOE have managed to piss off so many school communities at once

[Anonymous]

They've hard a lot of schools, but not all are vocal about it. I don't get why you are just seeing this now. It was obvious it was coming when they started doing things like close the MVA claiming budget (which was clearly a lie), early education, and autism programs... hit the students who need those things the most. So, now its other's turn.

So, instead of complaining, what are YOU going to do about it?

And what about all the special ed teachers whose jobs are being cut and the families of special ed students?

And then there are all the people pissed about the regional programs being too quickly rolled out. Especially schools like Einstein which is losing its arts magnet.

And the woodlin families who got totally screwed in modified option b.

Taylor is a bully and a liar. He’s also a bad politician, not securing board or county council support before saying he would close SSIMS. I am hoping against hope the BOE realizes he is terrible soon. But I’m also not holding my breath.

The same thing that happened to the MVA. Teachers find other jobs or are forced out. Some families make do, some lea e. Nothing new.

The bigger issue with Einstein is the limited academics. With the dcc you had some choice. Now that’s gone.

I want to see if any of the Wootton Art teachers were poached. I heard a rumor that's where they got new resources?

If he is pissing off a lot of different groups, he’s probably getting most things right. No one gets everything they want.

OP forgot to mention the GT community, no matter it’s GT in stem, arts, or RMIB. Julie won because of votes from families who prioritized education over everything else. And she just became one of your typical politicians.

Einstein is not getting more funding and with the new programs will lose students and courses. The principal does not care about the arts. He doesn’t even attend things.

Wootton: More like "incredulous unrepresentative marginal segment" and the "city derelict in their duty to encourage MCPS asbestos removal within their city boundaries'.

Magruder: Taylor doesn't control the CIP, the County Executive and County Council does. Blame them.

MBLI: You mean Brenda Wolff (VP) and Grace Rivera-Oven (P)'s pet charter school that the Sup and everyone else on the BoE (to include even the student rep) voted to shut down?

Muslim MCPS Families: thanks to that, everyone got school pushed to the end of June. Happy now?

Arcola: you mean the one where 80 kids skip school in the summer because MCPS instituted the "innovative calendar" as a babysitting tool for parents?

Go fish. Not sure why you think Taylor's job is in trouble. The only one I hope gets pushed out of their job early is the OP.

It's unfortunate that you have no idea what you're talking about. While Elrich and the County Council have final say on the CIP, like the Operating Budget, Taylor and the BOE do make recommendations that get kicked over to the County Exec and Council to adjust.

Why don't you know this?

Um. Because I can recommend World Peace. Doesn't mean I'm gonna get money for it?

You think the County Exec and Council don't use Taylor's and the BOE's recommendations as the basis for theirs? You can see that they do just by looking at the two.

You must be trolling.

No, I just remember when Wootton's renovation money in the CIP was zeroed out, when the Kid Museum got millions (enough for an annual pass for several grade levels) yet no one can seem to remember what it was spent on, stuff like that...

Trolling is trying to get the guy fired with flimsy examples. It's not like he approved, oh I don't know, 160 million dollars worth of electric buses that are driving up everyone's electric bills...

If a post on DCUM cataloguing parent and community outrage in the news caused by Taylor/MCPS's blunders is enough to get him fired, then I'm more powerful than I thought!

I guess you don't know what 'trolling' means? I wasn't implying you're powerful. Quite the opposite, in fact. I meant that you're whining about relatively minor issues without examining the underlying facts behind them.

For example, the whiner about the AI purchase probably doesn't realize that Volt AI is on GSA schedule and most other camera AI systems are owned by / run by / located in / administered by countries that do not have the best interests of the US at heart. A security professional would know that, but not some whiny parent on an anonymous blog. Stuff like that.

You dismissive troll.

I love Taylor. I think you’re an angry Wootton parent who just wants your kid to be able to roll out of the bed 5 minutes before school starts so he can walk across the street to school in his pajamas.

There are huge disparities in the schools and many are untouched or aren't going to have significant changes. What isn't being talked about is the reduction of students, means a reduction of classes, which is going to impact schools with limited offerings.

Yes, we know... you put it on every thread. Wait to see what the Einstein offerings are, given that you aren't satisfied currently, maybe it will be better.
