[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another thread by the same old failed school board candidates and MCPS malcontents. You people really need to move on.[/quote]

First show me a breakdown of exactly how much these people are paid to act completely inappropriate. Beidleman is about $192,000 a year? Diane Morris is more than $200,000? Jones? Everyone else who was involved in the cover up? No one should move on until MCPS Central Office fully discloses how much damage was done. They probably want to make another BS professional development session that all the teachers have to go to because after all, we all know everything boils down to blaming the teachers. [/quote]

I know some people allege there was this cover-up, but not all that clear since there are 12345 different investigations with as many different conclusions. The only thing that was clear is the main person who filed a complaint was sending him nudie pics.[/quote]

There are, in fact, only four investigations over the last 12 months.

Investigation 1 was while he was incoming as PBHS principal. Based on about 13 complaints from staff, MCPS looked into his behavior. We know now that Khalid Walker found that Beidelman had violated the Code of Conduct, but that he was over-ruled and forced to engage in a cover-up by MCPS leadership reporting directly to Dr. McKnight.

Investigation 2 was after the Washington Post uncovered the allegations and spoke with 30+ victims and witnesses. This was carried out by MCPS's own attorneys, and again found that Beidelman had violated the Code of Conduct. This was also where we first learned that the results of Investigation 1 had been tampered with.

Investigation 3 was conducted by the Office of the Inspector General and looked specifically at Beidelman's conduct. It found he had violated the Code of Conduct.

Investigation 4 is ongoing, and is examining the role that MCPS leadership played in covering up Investigation 1.

Over the course of the reporting, there are now more than 80 victims and witnesses who have come forward, all saying the same thing: Beidelman engaged in a pattern of sexual harassment, bullying, and retaliation.

I know you think that the "nude pics" exonerate him, but that's the abuser mentality. Even a consensual relationship with a direct report is an abuse of power, not to mention the scores of other victims who never agreed to a consensual relationship. [/quote]

I don't know who you are, but thank you for both having reading comprehension and being able to synthesize information from multiple sources and explain it clearly.[/quote]

I heard there were 40 anonymous complaints. It seems like they're creating new investigations to get their preferred conclusion.[/quote]
