[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's something like 20,000 employees at MCPS.  Presumably supervisors oversee what their employees are spending funds on.

My takeaway was that the BOE is supposed to approve of anything over $25k, and there were 7 vendors who received more than that amount, but it doesn't say what vendors.  In my head, instead of thinking the worst, am thinking 136 ESs each ordered $250 worth of educational and classroom supplies from Lakeshore Learning or something.

And of course there a quote from the Parent Coalition who always like to stir the pot and draw attention to themselves.

MCPS says they've already put new systems in place so it doesn't happen again. [b]It is a new administration, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt[/b][/quote]

I truly do not understand why people give MCPS/Taylor this much grace given the system's track record and Taylor's own propensity for mismanagement (see the failure to respond timely to background checks issue and his spat with the OIG about it).

It's either naivete or blind loyalty to the system.[/quote]

I can't wait for Taylor to be gone.[/quote]

People said the same thing about Felder, McKnight, Smith, Starr, Weast.  And the same thing will be said when Taylor is gone and his replacement is named.[/quote]
