Look through the new regional program website for all the errors MCPS didn't catch before taking it live. My favorite is the front page on the button for regions where they left template text in so it says "This is a wider card with supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content. This card has even longer content than the first to show that equal height action."

"AP Enrollment in Music Theory junior year" is another good one.

Wow. The M.ad M.omm.ies of M.oC.o are really deranged. Imagine being so unbalanced that you would post something like this and expect people to guffaw knowingly.[/quote]

You’re replying on Page 5 of the thread so…[/quote]

Taylor and crew just got into work.  They had a tough day yesterday getting berated at the Council.  Attacking parents is how he relieves stress. [/quote]

They were berated by the Council? Oh I've got to watch that.[/quote]

So MCPS and Board President Grace Rivera-Oven had to defend their CIP to the Council. Watching now to see how hard the Council went in on them.[/quote]

Ok. So the confrontational part seemed to start when Friedson challenged Taylor on whether he'd been transparent and engaged with the public about the relocation of the bus sites.

Taylor looked like he wanted to get up and punch Friedson. He was very spicy and feisty. Essie appeared flustered as she always does. What a horrible chief of staff pick.

If Friedson were to become County Exec, it'd be interesting to see how he and Taylor would work together....[/quote]

I can see why Taylor would be irritated as MCPS is trying to find places for the bus depot because the Council wants the land the current depot is on for developers. Maybe Taylor was expecting them to back him up on this since they are the ones that want the bus depot moved.

I don't know much about the sites Taylor is proposing, but I agree with the councilmembers that it was weird for Taylor to propose such sites without real outreach to the impacted communities. I might be wrong, but I do not think I am allowed to lease my house's driveway to a taxi company because my property is a residential property. Changing a site that was intended to be for a school to a bus depot seems like a pretty significant change in the use of the property. Maybe our zoning ordinance allows this. But it seems like kind of a dick move.

And I thought his response to the concerns about community outreach was really dismissive and dishonest. I'm looking at the BOE's adopted CIP now and it is quite hard to identify where the sites are (they aren't even listed in the Superintendent's CIP or in the Project Description Form - just in a table called: Expected Facility Use Schedule for Fiscal Years 2027-2032)[/quote]

If the county council is annexing the land from MCPS, they should either pay out MCPS or find land, and pay for the new facilities.  This is a county council issue, not MCPS.[/quote]
