There was a community meeting yesterday about the move to Woodward. What blew my mind the most about this was there is no one in charge of overseeing the whole construction & move, just little departments (transportation, athletics, etc.) working on their little piece of the puzzle. Explains a lot. [/quote]

100% BS

SETH ADAMS is in charge. He tells the BOE what will happen.

Everyone working on Woodward knows this. [/quote]

Well, Seth Adams is incompetent because this move is a shitshow [/quote]

Seth Adams is [i]very[/i] competent, and that is why these short-changed projects move forward.  His interests, reflecting those of MCPS leadership (and county council funding priorities), and those of the stakeholders, families, teachers, etc., they are supposed to serve are simply misaligned, which is why these short-changed projects are considered in the first place.

Like most of those in highly compensated positions with considerable exposure to politics, he's willing to color his communication to facilitate certain objectives (e.g., leaving out key, foreseeable items when speaking with  until it is too late for others to advocate for anything different).  This is true of many in upper MCPS leadership.

Where better aligned, there are benefits to that capability.  Just look at his takedown of the charter school application.  Applicants for those not only would undercut system funding for others, but typically rely on known shaky and outright false assumptions that would under-deliver to the students they putatively would serve.  MCPS was forced by the state to reconsider, and did so, but stomped all over it with the help of Adams' excellent critique of their incomparably low expectations for cost and resulting financing.  It was clear from both the thrust of their own presentation and their reactions to Adams' counter that MCPS had kept him in their back pocket until the last minute, when it would be most damaging and offer the least opportunity for the applicants to recover.

Just because he's good [i]at[/i] his job doesn't mean he's good [i]with[/i] it.  Northwood isn't the only community that has been on the short end of that stick.[/quote]

LOL Hi Seth!

Now tell everyone how YOUR plan was to put a cell tower in the Woodward home team bleachers so the spectators would only be allowed to sit on half the field. You loved that plan, but you were stopped because it was exposed that you lied to the hearing examiner.[/quote]

The PP's writing style is a little.overwrought and therefore unclear, but I think they called Seth Adams a liar, so I doubt it's Adams posting.[/quote]

The post did nothing but praise Seth Adams over and over. It is him or his mother.[/quote]

You lack reading comprehension.[/quote]
