[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did MCPS provide any compensation to the design team members?[/quote] No, we were all volunteers. There were over 70 members at the beginning, a combination of parents and teachers. Lots of people with great perspectives and experience within MCPS. Participation dropped off over time. Meetings became all about central office telling us what they planned to do and accepting very little input. At the last meeting there were maybe 25 volunteers, most of whom were parents (I assume staff prioritized work over a futile volunteer effort, which is entirely appropriate and understandable). There were more than a dozen central office staff on that call, and they did most of the talking. [/quote] And this approach of too many central office staff bulldozing their way through any "community engagement" is per the orders of Thomas Taylor.[/quote]
