When stuff goes wrong, the mayor and chancellor and DME can just.... lie about it.  In fact, they DO lie about it.

----------

What we need is more democracy.  We need an elected head of education who is not the mayor.  Directly elect the DCPS Chancellor.

OR, we need OSSE split off from mayoral control so they can exert oversight over the mayor when her people are making mistakes and lying about them.

Do you have evidence of the lying?  I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility but it would good to see some expose or something.

There are too many people on DCUM who see conspiracies when what they are really looking at is ineptitude (see: Covid report timeframes).  [/quote]

Here's one example: this heaing.

For example, the DC Chancellor in that hearing said ventilation was fine in all schools.  That is just ... garbage. It's false.  Teachers have been waiting for 8 weeks with no fixes to the HVAC.

AND we know that ventilation and HVAC are a problem only because Robert White on Council ran a hearing about Dept of General Services (another agency controlled by the mayor!!!) screwing up maintenance tickets for school HVAC and got tons of testimony.
