[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Board of Education members don’t see the need for resolutions.  If Taylor says he is doing something everyone should just trust that he is doing it.  [/quote]

That's not how I read it. Montoya, I thought, did a good job of asking why the resolution was necessary and what it would accomplish and if it was needed. I think that's actually a good thing, because the board has too often passed resolutions that sound nice but don't achieve anything, or end up redundant since the system didn't need a resolution to do what the resolution was asking.

I do agree with OP's overarching point though, that the BOE shouldn't trust Taylor will get anything done just based on his word though. I just think that this particular resolution on prioritizing local businesses in the procurement process seemed unnecessary.[/quote]

Unnecessary just like obeying the Maryland Court Order that the Board of Education is under to review the award of the $168 million dollar electric school bus procurement because of improprieties in the award.  What’s a court order to this Board?  Nothing.  The discussion included that MCPS had done nothing to comply with the law requiring them to have assign preferences to minority businesses.  What’s a law? Nothing. [/quote]
