[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree with OP’s premise. Maybe you’re seeing what you want to see and hearing what you want to hear. You may not like that they’re not funding the position, but doesn’t seem like he’s obscuring anything. Separately, man those meetings must be boring. Three minutes was more than enough![/quote]

Again: If you watched the exchange, you can tell Jawando had done his homework and he was forcing Damon to admit on the record that the RJ Coaches for elementary were being cut and that even though Damon was targeting the remaining funds for the secondary level, that it would in fact NOT fund the RJ Coach stipends at ALL secondary schools and that some would go without.

If you can't see that, then your eyes and ears do not work.[/quote]

The exchange, factually, went like this:

Q: Why are there cuts to RJ coaches?
A: Explanation
Q: How are you going to allocate the reduced amount?
A: We will give it to middle schools
Q: That means there is no money for elementary schools?
A: Yes, and explained why

Maybe you don't watch a lot of hearings like this?  That was textbook.

To be clear, there can be real disagreements about the substantive decision being made here.  But attacking the testimony and saying the man was evasive in talking about it just isn't true.[/quote]

+1. There are plenty of things to criticize MCPS for, but this isn't one of them.[/quote]
