[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly after listening to County Council discussions with BOE, I don’t think the 6 region model has a prayer of passing.

DCC residents are mad.

There is no budget.

Council doesn’t believe they can staff all programs effectively.[/quote]

After County Council provided their feedback, did MCPS staff give the impression that they realized they were wrong and were going to make significant changes or did they simply double down and be like "we're still right."[/quote]

The latter.

What is so sad and frustrating is that there is actually consensus from the county council, some BOE members, design team members who have spoken up, pretty much everyone is saying the same thing. Everyone is saying this might be a good/successful plan if you take the time to actually get the right feedback and costs and staffing, but you just simply do not have enough time to do so if you stay linked to the boundary study timeline. Everyone is screaming into the abyss to slow down and get it right. I really desperately hope Laura Stewart can get enough other BOE members on Board to tell Essie/Niki/Thomas/Jeannie that this cannot go forward on this timeline. It’s a house of cards! [/quote]

The BOE can stop this at any time and not approve funding for the contracts/surveys, etc.   They choose not to and to allow the wasteful spending and non-sense.  No one is supporting this plan.  We need change and improvement but this is not the way.  The BOE can terminate the central office staff who are pushing this and not reading the room.[/quote]

BOE can only hire/fire Sup. Rest of Central Office staffing decisions belong to Sup.[/quote]
