[quote=Anonymous]And if so, do other folks here have suggestions on what they should cover?

I personally would love to see at least one of the speakers really hammer MCPS (in ways they can't lie or fudge their way out of) on the fact that there have been zero opportunities for community feedback/input on the regional model or efforts to find what the community wants out of regional programs, just an entirely top-down process.  Like sharing a screenshot of the main/last page on their latest survey (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc1E6bFxQNo8F4_OdQiE3t7kn47l28lG0IxXZtbF7xbFnZF1Q/viewform), which once again has no space for any suggestions or criticism, just clarifying.questiojs and compliments.  And flagging that all of their "engagement" opportunities to date have been described as "information sessions" and treated as such, with everything presented as a done deal, little time allotted for questions, and no effort whatsoever from MCPS to ask "What are your reactions to this? Do you have any suggestions on ways we could strengthen it?  Is there anything we're not thinking about?". And reminding the Board that the so-called Design Team, the only community feedback opportunity MCPS did create, feels like they have no influence or input on the outcomes and it has stopped meeting.

Thoughts?  Anything else on your wishlist to tell the Board tomorrow?[/quote]
