Very crafty of her to go right to the press. MCPS does not need a cat fight right now

The BOE cannot speak publicly at this time, because it is a personnel issue. She's out, she knows it, and this is her process for trying to get the best deal.

But making the board look bad, when they likely have the latest IG report in hand, and possibly have this, and possibly other cause, for termination, may not serve McKnight well in the end. If she still had friends on the board, she may not after this move.

Wow. Wow. I mean….Not totally surprised she knew. Didn’t the Damascus principal also wait to tell? Now we know why. It comes from the top. This is just horrible all around.

Is she alleging racism? Sexism? Other bias?

I don't blame her for pushing them to outline why they want her to step down. Let her know where she has failed and what they want her to do to improve it. We've had a revolving door of superintendents. Maybe they aren't the problem, maybe the school board is the problem? Or maybe NOBODY can solve the problems since we are stuck with large class sizes and large numbers of poor/ESL/special needs.

There is this:

And we don't even have the latest IG report publicly yet.

Breach of contract

Robbins is biased…mouthpiece for the union and this article is not the smoking gun she’s hoping for. Lots of innuendo and anonymous quotes. This is why the Post dropped her.

McKnight, Beidleman, and all the people who participated in the coverup. They're all done.

The Board has known for months that McKnight withheld information from them. What have they been doing all this time?

July 1, 2026. MD law requires 4 year superintendencies.

Really? State law micromanaging boards...

I looked through law and regulations and didn't see this. Although, I have no idea where to expect to find it.

Here you go - Boards hire superintendents on four year contracts (Md. Education Code Ann. § 4-201).

Or they now know something that they did not few months ago and at that time were advised to let the legal play out. And BOE members were not up for election a few months ago.
