[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]

What planning could have been done to anticipate staffing issues due to COVID? Lack of testing has been a national problem, not an MCPS problem. The super committed to in person learning, and MCPS has powered through it and things have turned the corner. The votes of no confidence are by teachers' unions who want to take advantage of the situation. And I fail to see how MCPS is responsible for a student brining a gun to school. Unless we want prison like schools with metal detectors and daily pat downs, there is the possibly. We all know your agenda, OP., you and the pro-virtual "chaos" crowd. Stop persecuting Dr. McKnight.[/quote]

It’s called pandemic and epidemic plans. I’ve written them before before there was even a thing called Covid. I’ve done tabletop exercises that involved planning for staffing shortages, budget changes due to cash-flow issues, lack of accessibility to executives, etc [/quote]
