[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A favor to ask of those of you who follow this stuff ....
I work with a group of boy scouts that are required to attend (can be virtually) a meeting of the school board, county council, etc., at which different viewpoints on an issue are discussed and then report to me on them.  I'm constantly looking for good/interesting opportunities for them.
Did anything interesting happen today that might be good for teens to listen to and discuss, especially if they are not already deeply into the MCPS politics?  Most of them are MCPS students so this stuff does affect them.  Thank you!!![/quote]

So as a Scout parent, the point of them attending the meeting is for them to learn government, community engagement.

BOE meetings are a perfect way for them to learn this since, as you said, the decisions of the BOE directly affect them, if they're MCPS students.

That being said, it's a crap shoot as to which meetings will be "interesting" to them, since it depends on the scout, their level of interest in local politics and the particulars of the meeting agenda that they happen to sit on.[/quote]
