[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would fire the dead weight and dysfunctional core in the division of long range planning.  The capacity problems have become virtually unfixable thanks to the outdated thinking that dept brings to the table.  At least with curriculum we can adapt and try to improve when a good idea fails in application.  The consequences of poor facilities planning is turning mcps into a joke.[/quote]

I agree that there is a problem here but it's not necessarily with this department (though they do shoulder some blame for overcrowding). It's not even with the school system in general. The problem is the county board failed to plan properly to accomodate the growth that they wanted and knew was coming. I do think there needs to be an outside auditor brought in to evaluate the school system--long-range planning, curriculum development, etc.--and identify weak areas and recommendations for improvement. This person (or people) should be totally independent of the Superintendent's office, teachers union or parent groups. The only way you'll get an honest report is if everyone who has a stake in keeping the system the way it is now doesn't have their hands in the process. [/quote]
