[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rita Montoya is ripping into their community engagement efforts. Thank you Ms. Montoya.[/quote]

Genuine question, what would you like to see for community engagement?  What would work?  Seems like they are trying the same things over and over and they may not be working, but I haven't seen/heard any suggestions of what would work.  I also wonder how it could be staffed, MCPS employees have regular business hours, so who would volunteer to do additional night meetings?  Even paid, that's a big ask.[/quote]

Literally anything.  They have done basically zero community engagement on the program analysis.  They host "information sessions" to tell people what they've already decided, and don't make any effort to ask people for any input on changes. Heck, a single online feedback form or survey would be a huge leap forward from what they've done so far.

+1 True, but also I think it was Montoya who made the point that even the boundary study community engagement has been terrible. Why are they doing it at high schools of current high school students won't be impacted? Why are they holding in person sessions at BCC when they are proposing "options" that all leave BCC's boundaries exactly the same? They claim they are trying but I don't see it.[/quote]
