Our current superintendent, Dr. McKnight , did not create this problem. I want to be clear about that. It's always convenient to, you know, blame the person who sits there, but this isn't the problem she created, she's inherited it, and I hope that she'll institute the consequences for the people who ignored the seriousness of the problems we're dealing with as well as implement the changes that are going to be necessary so that nobody has to go through this again."

I know! McKnight fixing things is the only silver lining to this mess.

We're so lucky to have such a strong leader in this crisis.

She’s probably getting promoted because that’s how MCPS addresses leaders who fail.

Hopefully they interview his admin secretary. They were known to have an affair.

Yes, it's reassuring to know McKnight is taking corrective action to clean up this mess.

What is the corrective action?

Probably had a candidate lined up and pulled it after they applied

Then why is the former director still listed as being the director?

Based on what I've read here, McKngit seems determined to investigate this matter with transparency and integrity and hold those responsible to account.

As far as I can tell, this is accurate despite the vicious rumors circulated here by the haters.

She is one of those responsible—what is she planning to do to hold herself to account?
