Agreed.[/quote]

Yup.  Get a life.  You don't actually care about the travel budget. :roll: [/quote]

Teachers care. Especially the under paid minority teachers who keep leaving mcps.

You don’t really support minority teachers either.[/quote]

I would think McKnight visiting her HBCU alma mater would be part of an effort to recruit more minority teachers.[/quote]

Yet she didn’t meet with one single student and got a paid trip home on taxpayers. Fooling you is so easy.

You're acting as though she was taking a vacation and relaxing on a Hilton Head beach, daiquiri in hand and sunglasses on. No! It's for the long-term benefit of our district.[/quote]

How does this benefit MCPS?  If it were a MD state school, I can understand that, but how many kids are going to her HBCU alma mater and how would they help MCPS from a distance?[/quote]

+1 What has Dr. McKnight done to recruit teachers from schools in Maryland, DC, and Virginia? There’s plenty of HBCUs locally if that is the target audience to fill vacancies in MCPS.  Morgan State, Bowie State, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, and Howard University are some great HBCUs that would not need an overnight trip to visit. Then there’s the many non-HBCUs that are also key for recruiting - Townson, University of Maryland College Park, George Mason University, George Washington University, and Georgetown to name a few.[/quote]

Just because she visited one further south doesn't mean that she hasn't worked with others. Also, that school she went to has a long history of actually being founded as a [i] teacher's [/i] college. She went there, she knows the educational department and players and how to pitch this area to individuals there, and students at HBCUs around here are not as inclined to go into K-12 education. You also can't solely look at the tippy top HBCUs - it's an umbrella effort. Give it a rest with the selective outrage.[/quote]
