[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also- a good bit of the council's work (or at least should be) fairly mundane governance.  This isnt sexy, it doesnt generate tons of attention, and if its done right- it isnt particularly controversial.

[b]It's managing schools[/b], transit, crime, etc.

Instead we get so many posts and photo ops about things that affect a very small amount of the county residents, instead of the actual meat and potatoes of actual council government. [/quote]

The council doesn't manage schools.[/quote]
DP. It does oversee MCPS.[/quote]

It authorizes MCPS's budget (in part). It doesn't manage the schools.[/quote]

Budgeting.  Policies like SROs and countless other things. They have a major impact on MCPS and do not pretend otherwise [/quote]

They have an impact, yes. But they do not "oversee" MCPS. School policies are set by the BOE, in consultation with MCPS general counsel staff. Regulations are entirely written by MCPS central office staff. SROs were employed by MCPD, not MCPS.[/quote]
