[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who has the authority to fire Hull and Key? Felder? BOE?[/quote]

Confused why people are blaming Hull for this.

The budget was in fine condition before McKnight left in February. The MVA and other programs were restored, there were no talks about RIFs or not honoring new contracts, county council was on track to approve the budget request (or at least a large portion of it) and they publicly praised Hull and the budget department for more transparency and collaboration then they had seen in years. Then Felder came in and ruined it with her ego, stupidity, and her two cronies - Key and Johnson. [/quote] MCEA is blaming him for his mismanagement of funds. He’s WASTED millions on useless contracts. I think he getting kickbacks. Makes no sense otherwise. [/quote]

Speech and language pathologists are useless contracts?

MCEA is just mad that there's a trend toward providing services through non-union contractors. This is true across the country. It's a byproduct of the pay scales that unions have negotiated over the years.[/quote]

Speech Language Pathologists, obviously not useless. But we need full transparency on what the contracts cover and why, since there has been such a huge increase over the last 2 years. Another post somewhere here says that contracting was used to cover the Superintendent's holiday party. As a taxpayer, unless there was some huge savings associated, I would not consider that appropriate. I work for a government entity, and our holiday parties are pot luck in a conference room.[/quote] Right. These contracts are not limited to sped and speech. Millions alone spent on terrible curriculum that teachers hate. You know how much the curriculum was before - it was free and many teachers have gone back to  using that -at the secondary level-after mcps went behind their backs and renewed the contract despite teachers begging them not to. Millions WASTED.[/quote]

What free curriculum are teachers going back to?  Please tell us not 2.0 which was proven  not to be sufficient.[/quote]
