[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]January was a horrendous month for MCPS. Lack of Covid planning that led to staffing shortages that affected learning and transportation for learning. Lack of testing that fueled a surge in cases after winter break. Votes of no confidence against the interim superintendent by two major unions in MCPS. Now a gun in one high school and a shooting that critically injured a student at another high school all in the same day.

Shouldn’t the Board be having an emergency session? Shouldn’t they be concerned about the lack of leadership in MCPS?

I am stunned by their silence and lack of response.[/quote]

Um why exactly is a special session needed??  The BOE and many im Central Office are having meetings and presentations to discuss the Operating Budget for the 2022-2023.  All while still focusing on what is occurring with Covid and shortages.  Shortages that are a national issue not specific to MCPS.  They committed to keeping schools open and have accomplished that despite temporary tougher points.

Dr, McKnight has already had a press conference about Macgruder HS.  Not sure what she or the BOE could have done to prevent it from occurring.  Its not like they have a direct line to every students thinking and guns are a big part of American culture. No one wants to send their kid to school that looks ir acts like a prison. And before someone goes commenting about SRO’s that was a County Council decision not a BOE decision and there is no guarantee an SRO would have prevented the incident, as incidents occurred when SRO’s were present in the building.  They too are not omnipotent.  The folks that need attention right now are those at the HS impacted.  Its my understanding they’re getting it.  Anything more public right now would be performatory.

If people want changes they should ask their politicians tough questions about relevant issues and stop electing them on wedge issues, one issue, or parry affiliation.

Working on a Sunday $130anhour?  Must have made a typo. Board of Education members ARE POLITICIANS.
