[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Montoya, Zimmerman and Stewart all won with comfortable margins.

Looks like the people have spoken. Evans, two-term incumbent, lost by a shocking 16 points.

How are we feeling about this shakeup?

This school board unanimously approved Monifa despite the teachers, principals telling them it was a bad move.  Many of the incumbents on the ballot and members of the BOE approved of the disastrous regime of Jack Smith.  You keep making terrible decisions and wrecking MCPS, you're going to be out.  The fact that Evans and Harris were surprised they lost shows how far out of touch they really are.  Good riddance and keep taking out the trash next election cycle.  Got to get that robot Silvestre out.   [/quote]

A unanimous vote in support of McKnight doesn't mean anything but a united front to the public. Not everyone was a McKnight fan, but majority rules. [/quote]

BOE members need to stop prioritizing that “united front” to the public. We did not ask for nor do we want it. It would have been helpful if BOE members voiced their disapproval or concerns about McKnight and her appointment had been debated and discussed in public.[/quote]

PP here. I agree with you, but it is a tricky issue in a strong superintendent state. BOE members don't have much real power, except to hire and fire a superintendent. What's left is the soft power of advising.

It's clear to me that throughout McKnight's tenure as super (and even before that), most people who came into contact with her suffered greatly.[/quote]

Taylor hides behind the board putting all responsibility on them. [/quote]

If so, that would be a rookie move. Perhaps this school district is too big for him, given his prior professional experience.[/quote]

Listen to his forums.  He regularly says the BOE makes these decisions and it's up to them.[/quote]

That's a reflexive non-response on his part. But the decisions are his. [/quote]

Which decisions in particular? Depending on what we're talking about, some are the superintendent's, some are the board's.[/quote]
