[QUOTE]MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. (7News) — At the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future Accountability and Implementation Board’s (AIB) Nov. 21 meeting, members approved 15 school districts that had submitted the required materials for their blueprint plans. That approval allows those school systems to receive 25% of Blueprint funds for Fiscal Year 2025.

Baltimore City and Montgomery County were not approved for funding and instead, received a warning from the board for a lack of compliance.

7News spoke to former Montgomery County Executive Isiah“Ike” Leggett who now chairs the AIB.

“Montgomery County had not completed its negotiation with the local union. It is my expectation that they will do that very quickly and if they are able to do so probably by December 11 we should approve them,” Leggett said.

7News asked AIB Executive Director Rachel Hise how much in Blueprint funding Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) is entitled to this fiscal year.

Hise explained if the proper paperwork had been submitted, the school system would have been approved to receive nearly $9 million in blueprint funding.

We reached out to MCPS and the Montgomery County Education Association to find out why the proper blueprint plans have not been submitted.

MCPS explained that “a tentative agreement” has been reached with the teachers’ union and once it’s ratified, the agreement will be submitted to the AIB.[/QUOTE]

This is embarrassing. And given that Taylor has been here since July, I don't see how he can blame this on anyone else. What the hell is going on here? His tenure was supposed to be a fresh start.[/quote]
