[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unbelievable.  Glad the teacher got a favorable resolution after all that MCPS induced trauma but sad that there is 500k less going into our kids’ educations next year.

Does the MCPS Board have a budget line item to pay out lawsuits for its incompetence or do we just expect class sizes to be bigger next year?[/quote]

This.  The BOE needs to be held accountable as does Taylor and central office. [/quote]

I’m just worried more lawsuits are coming as the political climate is very favorable to them.

Meanwhile, I have colleagues who are racist and there doesn’t seem to be anyway to dislodge them from positions working with our most vulnerable students.[/quote]

Don't blame this on the "political climate."  [b]The BCC principal admitted he fabricated evidence defaming a teacher on the stand.  The jury didn't even have to deliberate for more than a few hours.[/b] MCPS had a crap case.  But yes, I would be worried if this is the level of competence MCPS has. So much of our education tax dollars are going to go to pay out people who have legit claims of being harmed by MCPS.[/quote]

Then why did the jury absolve him of responsibility?[/quote]

Because he said a whole lot of people at MCPS approved his statement that fabricated evidence.  The jury found the MCPS Board responsible. [/quote]

Well, it's a litlle more Russian doll than that. The jury found that MCPS is responsible and that the board is responsible for MCPS.[/quote]

Yup, I get why they found the MCPS Board responsible.  Ultimately the buck (or 500K bucks in this case) stops with them.  But how do you specifically absolve Mooney who did everything?  But the only article is from Bethesda Magazine and there's zero explanation about why Mooney walked out without any blame.[/quote]

The BOE has shown over and over that majority of the times, the group is incapable of cross questioning anyone or anything that comes across. There should be a few lawyers on there to help a Board out. They make very little. What should be required is for them to study issues and be on top of issues that come up. By nope, everyone is busy being on TikTok. This is exactly what the creators of TikTok wanted - demise of Americans, demise of America's education system. For a school system that cares so much about image, it has failed again on that front. One incident and news after another whether it is scandals, Supreme court case, lockdowns etc...[/quote]
