[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The BOE has a large staff. The problem is they hire people who don't know what they are doing. More people won't help if the people are idiots. [/quote]

What staff besides the Superintendent, the one person they have answering phones, etc., and ad hoc legal/consulting for limited-scope lawsuits/projects?  What large staff whose job it is to facilitate their oversight?  Any with broad imquiry authority to dig into MCPS testimony/presentations or to act in the same capacity at the direction of a BOE member on bahalf of citizen-raised concerns?[/quote]

The BOE does not have a large staff. They just recently hired a senior financial analyst and a deputy chief of staff.[/quote]

I consider 17 people to support 8 people a large staff.

They have a chief of staff, coordinator of legislative affairs, an audit department of 7 people, a communications specialist, another coordinator, ombuds, multiple administrative staff. And they just hired  a deputy chief of staff, and financial analyst.  [/quote]

The Internal Audit Unit is its own separate thing, they're not really providing support to board members.[/quote]

And I doubt someone titled "Asst to Associate Supt" doesn't fall under the Superintendent.  It would seem that administrative placement in that "office" doesn't mean direct support to the BOE.  Maybe two, four with the incoming hires?

Again, how many FTEs are reporting directly to the BOE to facilitate their oversight?  How many have the authority to compel MCPS staff to provide direct information at a BOE member's request?  Outside the Superintendent's line of reporting? [/quote]
