3/26 Board of Ed meeting live thread

[Anonymous]

Shocking they clapped for Julie. Clearly she only voted no because she wants to be voted onto the county council. And she missed an opportunity to engage in Chinese.

It was Montoya.

Her claims of racism are rich since she was the loudest voice in favor of closing the only Black-run charter in MCPS: MBLI.

She’s a fraud and a hypocrite. She doesn’t care about Black people. She’s just using them as a talking point to stick it to the people who are against the superintendent’s recommendation.

This would be more meaningful if the analyses was done by a third-party.

Spending more money on outside consultants seems like a waste of precious funds that could be used to rebuild Damascus and Magruder and eventually the old Wootton.

They pass it all. No objections except Yang.

Oh please. They coordinated her “objection.”

Yup.

Which one of them has asked for a racial equity analysis of the program model? Nobody has done that yet or even uttered the word "race" yet they keep screeching equity

They were unanimous in amending the resolution to include accountability. It was vague. Wish it it pulled directly from OLO Report 2026-2 but it’s something!

To all you Richie riches that complained about my kid going to school with yours, get ready!!! We remember your names and faces.

The sad part is they don't even want the students whose parent make more than they do as they look down on zipcodes. So, now Whitman will get DCC kids... that's going to be interesting.

probably not a lot. Whitman is not an easy commute and Einstein, Northwood and Blair are decent schools

I fully support H.. that said, Montoya should be called out for saying what she did. Just because one doesn't support H doesn't mean they are racist. I mean, I'm sure there are black/brown parents who are against H, too.

IMO, Montoya is the racist.

So, modified H option is passed?

There is no accountability in having MCPS report on its own performance. Accountability would come from an entity other than MCPS doing the evaluation.

Unless they adopt the policies and consequences outlined in OLO Report 2026-2. Why is everyone trying to reinvent the wheel? Our tax dollars already paid for this! Thank Council member Luedtke for requesting it

It’s not a waste if you value accountability and transparency.

Also, the money that would be used to pay an outside vendor for that work wouldn’t even come close to the money that is needed to rebuild a high school.

Also, that money would come from the operating budget. The money to rebuild schools comes from the capital budget. Two completely separate buckets of money so your claim is baseless to begin with.

Wring. Those parents should have been escorted out the third time they interrupted Wolff.

Pass what? Can someone please list what they have passed?

They passed the Crown and Woodward recommendations and the regional program model.

I’m surprised at Karla.

I'm surprised Julie stood up and voted no. Karla needs to go. She's ruining MCPS.

She will be gone, she’s running for county council.

Keep buying analyses until you get the answer you want!
