Don't be fooled by Julie. She is just pretending to pushback because she's running for County Council and knows it makes her look good with people who are critical of MCPS. When she was BOE president last year, she let MCPS run all over her and the board. |
She hired Taylor and has been bought into whatever he has done, until she had to consider the calculus of what voters might want, because of her run for county council. Julie is all about Julie, in the end. |
If she had wanted to do that, she should have done so whole she could have, including last year as president. Instead, she facilitated the ramrod approach, largely followed by Grace, accepting continuation of late/no board meeting materials posting, with limited rounds of & time for questions and an utter lack of circumspection/follow-up related to anything other than the items most dear to her. If it wasn't her intent from the beginning of her BOE candidacy to make that a springboard to endorsements for County Council, her use of the position in the interim to show that she would toe the party line has made it abundantly clear that that certainly became her intent. |

It hasn't started yet though |
It just started |
| Woof, looks like a packed room. |
Seems like its mostly staff protesting the budget/personnel cuts |
|
|
| Are the deep frustrated sighs coming from Grace? So inappropriate. |
| Do we need a new math curriculum? Resounding "NOs" from the audience. |
| Any cuts need to come from CO |
| That is so inequitable, a girls only sport that is only available at a few high SES schools. Needs to go. Gymnastics is niche and these girls can continue to pursue the sport in their expensive clubs as they have done. |
| Not gonna lie - some of these 5th graders speaking seem sharper than my current colleagues. |
|
R.H. could not have been the best public speaking option for the B&BC.
Really? |
What is RH? Why don;t you go do it. |
