[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It looks like the $75k was used for a number of things including to find a grant program and this research. The article seems misleading. [/quote]

Exactly how is that amount of money used to "find a grant program"?[/quote]

Superintendent Taylor doesn’t care.  He paid MCPS students $75,000 out of the Operating Budget instead of cleaning up mold or fixing broken pipes.  Now he can claim he admires and respects student advocacy.  
While Taylor whines that everyone has to eat their broccoli in the tight MCPS Operating Budget, the reality is he has money to burn.   [/quote]

It says this was in FY24 which means it was McKnight's operating budget.[/quote]

Taylor promised transparency, accountability, etc.  Where is it?  There is no excuse to pay students that kind of money for a document on how turf is bad.  If it's important to them, they can do it for free.  The wasteful spending needs to stop.  Our kids and staff are in horrible conditions, academics are poor, safety is a huge issue, and he's still on a spending spree.[/quote]

I think this was a Lynne Harris boondoggle, given her direct involvement in this. McKnight doesn't deserve the blame here other than doing what she thought might be pleasing to one of her bosses, Lynne Harris.[/quote]
