That would be crazy. She’s only entitled to 1 year of pay under her contract.

Rumor is the settlement will be around $750k. Let's see.

The pressure is on from the county council for testimony under oath, so I don't think taxpayers should have to pay that much to have McKnight move on.

For what?

To not speak badly about the board and expose how they are complicit in MCPS's rot. Similar to the agreement they struck with Starr, who remains mum on the specifics of what happened between him and the board that led to his ouster.

If the white Starr dude got $$$ before he left so should I, says sorority sister McKnight.

There is some dcum thread I just tried to comment on and it's now locked with a note to join the existing thread. Maybe this one? Not a tech person...

I'm on here to try and have ppl take responsibility for and not deny antisemitism (never give up...) and just want to say that Dr. McKnight has been absolutely targeted in a racist way. I went all through MCPS. Literally have witnessed sexually harassing white male teachers *of students* in front of the class. Whatever that principal did was wrong but McKnight is being so targeted and it is so obvious. She should not resign. Stay strong.

$750K There is no way she is walking away with less than $2M

I hear Beidleman’s brother is a superintendent in New York. I wonder if all of this is affecting his job.

There's probably some legal reason why she might have to resign, but I am really upset at the racist targeting I've seen. From literally social justicey people (who are probably antisemitic too).

What!??? Have you been paying
attention? She doesn’t get a free pass on her lack of leadership. She couldn’t hack the job. It’s time for her to leave. Otherwise 160,000 students and their families are being held hostage to poor educational outcomes because of her failure at creating effective directives and her delegating important responsibilities to unqualified and unprofessional candidates. She was a horrible fit for the job and many of us saw it. She needs to go. Now.

I have no doubt that racism has affected this situation in some ways, but mostly it was McKnight's choice to promote Biedelman that led teachers to go to the press. It was a risky and brave move. It's a real shame the leader of the system that victimized them is getting paid off so quickly while they have to go through the courts to get compensated for what Biedelman and MCPS did to them.

There are also the growing legal ramifications, if she doesn’t leave. This is going to be an unholy mess, regardless of what happens today.

Well she denies anti-semenitism herself so there is that. And what is "so obvious" that she is being targeted? The only thing so obvious is that she is awful at her job and has ruined both the academics and culture of MCPS. Almost FIFTY administrators and executive staff have left MCPS since she started.

This is all so sad.

Are there ways to better support future supers?

I'll still call out racism even if the person is antisemitic (which affects me personally).

Can you please describe the racial targeting you've seen?
