[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She’s just building her image, OP. She wants to be seen as close to the families she serves. A photo of her talking to families, a little buzz and press coverage, and she’s in clover. 
Unless the meetings turn contentious, and the media stories are about how communities are unhappy with her…

[b]Sounds like she is close to families and is putting students first[/b]. Why are you so threatened by her?[/quote]

DP.  I'm not the person you're asking this to, but I do think she's a terrible administrator and needs to be removed.  I think she doesn't care about MCPS or kids, just her own career.

1.  I read she doesn't live in the county or send her kids to MCPS.  During the school shooting, the police had to escort her through traffic for a press conference while anxious parents and busses waited to let kids out of the school.
2.  January's covid response was a total disaster.  Instead of preparing, she made YouTube videos about what her favorite subject in school was or cafeteria lunch (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbZjpank-s0, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_yWDfS2p9g).  The 31 schools shut down in January weren't even the ones with the most serious covid infections.  MCPS replaced metrics so that in just 15 instructional days in January, 2100+ staff and 9%+ of the student body were infected.  There was a data suppression rule that was never explained, and the metrics were changed again (daily reporting stopped on March 1st) to obfuscate any covid issues using a 10-day-window metric instead of daily totals (ex. the 40'ish infected at Whitman HS).
3.  January covid bus driver losses were so bad they called the National Guard to try to bus kids in.

4.  She's had two no confidence votes by the MCEA while interim Superintendent and she was STILL confirmed by the MC BOE.

5.  This summer MCPS was a top-20 in open DoE OCR discrimination cases, so anything she's doing now is because she didn't look at her inbox.
6.  How did MCPS spend $780K on bocci ball, $4M on diversity training, $2M on Kid Museum, when it was supposed to be covid money?
7.  Hear anything about the $160M electric bus fiasco lately?  https://www.schoolbusfleet.com/10156263/investigation-prompts-leave-for-two-maryland-transportation-directors  I would think that deserved some attention.

Since the MC BOE confirmed her knowing all of this tells you how deep this runs.[/quote]

ABC7 is going to answer #7 Thursday at 6 PM.[/quote]

OMG I can't believe they would waste money on something like saving our planet! That's outrageous!!![/quote]
