[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just when I thought it couldn't get worse for McKnight, there's this: https://moco360.media/2024/02/01/principals-administrators-depart-as-mcps-faces-cronyism-accountability-concerns/

What a failure in leadership. To combat harassment and bullying in the workplace, she installs her cronies who are themselves subject to bullying complaints or bff's with Biedelman.

"The [post-Biedelman harassment fiasco] action plan, McKnight wrote to staff, would lead MCPS 'toward a safe and welcoming work environment for employees.' In the same email, McKnight announced the five interim appointees — four of them MCPS retirees — who would accompany her “Framework for Change.” According to five current and former district leaders, at least one of the appointees was involved with Beidleman’s prior promotions and at least one was the subject of complaints of workplace bullying"

"According to interviews with more than three dozen current and former central office employees and school administrators, allegations of cronyism and a lack of accountability, collaboration and clear communication have been ongoing themes of McKnight’s superintendency that have eroded educators’ trust in MCPS leadership, as a disproportionately high number of district officials and principals have left the school system"

All true…Dempsey and Kimball were well known for outrageous bullying of underlings for many years. There was a collective sigh of relief in central office when they retired and an audible collective gasp when they returned! Just unbelievable! :-o [/quote]
