[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Umm what questions have you asked have not been answered. Let’s review the ones from above: 
1) Shouldn’t the Board be having an emergency session? Asked an answered. No. What would this special session be about?? [/quote]

Umm. The board pleads for the National Guard to drive in kids, whines how they don't have enough teachers / subs, has a no-confidence MCEA vote against them, a 21K virtual parent petition, and is still clueless why it should meet?

[quote]2) Shouldn’t they be concerned about the lack of leadership in MCPS? Since they are part of the leadership and talking toMcKnight constantly I would think not. Given that principal and teachers are about as closed to quitting as possible and there is a shortage, I’m going to guess they aren’t icing fights here unless necessary.[/quote]

That assumes it's a done deal that McKnight will be the permanent Superintendent of Schools, which I believe is another point of meeting - to reconsider that decision.
 
[quote]3) When is the last open meeting they have had? When is the last meeting they have had that has addressed school violence? When is the last meeting they have had that has addressed COVID? The last BOE meeting on 1\13. Not to mention the Operating Budget hearing were they also heard from the community. So again we the community will ask, have you not been paying attention?[/quote]

Meeting and taking action are different, but I can see how the board could be confused by that.

This is a good reply. The PP is mendacious and clearly works for MCPS or is a Board member.

For example, they refuse to explicitly say when the last time the BOE took up the issue of student safety despite students begging and pleading with them that they don’t feel safe at school.

Also, if a shooting of a student in a school should not prompt emergency action from the Board, it further reinforces that this BOE cares nothing of student safety at all and refuse to address the issue. Instead they have been prioritizing their time on the equity action plan. This is a reflection of the BOEs priorities. Politics over keeping kids safe.[/quote]
