[quote=Anonymous]Saw that the April 2 meeting of the Comprehensive Development and Planning Committee ("CDPC") has been cancelled.

This is the committee that they gave to Kyle McDaniel to lead, after they'd kicked him off as Budget Committee chair after he'd been sued for embezzling from his business partners.

His main action as CDPC Chair was to push his colleagues to eliminate the Facilities Planning and Advisory Committee ("FPAC"), which had been composed of community residents who freely gave their time and expertise to FCPS to share ideas on facilities and how FCPS might more efficiently and expeditiously renovate its many aging buildings.  His argument was that FPAC could be folded into the CDPC, which planned to add three community members (whereas FPAC was a larger committee with representation from every magisterial district).

Low-brow bumblers like Robyn Lady supported FPAC's elimination, saying she'd never read anything FPAC prepared.  Apparently it never crossed Lady's mind that she ought to make sure she was getting FPAC's reports to read rather than just vote to disband an advisory committee.  Many believed the School Board just wanted to kill off FPAC for fear it might criticize FCPS's recent hash of a county-wide boundary study.

So what does McDaniel then do? Cancel meeting after meeting of the CDPC.  It's no surprise FCPS facilities planning remains so atrocious.  There is no oversight, and the people in the Facilities group feel like they have next to no direction from the School Board.
