[quote=Anonymous]I think that Maxwell inherited a shi@tshow and worked hard to make positive changes.  I met him several times and got the impression that he was a competent and hard working person who really had the best interest of PGCPS in his mind when making decisions.  Did he make some questionable decisions, sure.  Did some of the people he surrounded himself fail miserably, yep.  But, if I look back and ask if the schools are better than there were 5 years ago, I would say yes.  Unfortunately that's a low bar.  We had such a high turn over in Superintendents prior to Maxwell that no one was able to enact positive change.

I hope that PGCPS is able to recruit someone qualified.  Given the level of scrutiny that the position comes with I think that they are going to have a hard time finding a qualified person willing to take on the mess.

I think the only way to make a big change is to get rid of the dead weight on the BOE.  There are several very qualified people, including the appointed members, but there are also folks there who are completely incompetent.

Residents need to step up and pay attention.  Inform themselves before voting and not just vote for the person listed at the top of the ballot because their last name comes early in the alphabet.
