The Board of Ed should require that you have a child in MCPS to sit on the board. Many of them don't have young kids or kids in MCPS so they don't know or
care.
Not having a kid in school is not a prerequisite for caring about kids or society.
Yes, but when you don’t, it makes it easier to hide from your constituents! This is a sham
I personally think that the Board is derelict of its oversight responsibility because they are part-time positions, many of whom do not have an educational background other than their service on the Board, and they are advised by the same General Counsel that advises MCPS. Often, they do not take time to objectively review issues or ask MCPS important questions. The Board members just rubber stamp whatever the Superintendent asks for and they wasted tax dollars on a Superintendent search that they created a predestined outcome for.
If you now look at the experience of many of the top leaders in Central Office, MCPS hired people that left some of the worst school districts in Maryland. Is it any wonder the quality of educating students has slipped?
