Only on DCUM will travelling for work be a foreign concept. Let her do her job, y'all can focus on more pressing matters.[/quote]

She is not doing her job if she is traveling.  [/quote]

Keep making up your own fantasies. She's still connected to her laptop and work phone. [/quote]

You are making up fantasies if you think she was actually working via a laptop and work phone.  She was on vacation.  What exactly came out of that trip/visit?  Please, share with us.[/quote]

Let me guess you can't stand that an AA woman is in charge of MCPS?[/quote]

Bingo[/quote]

What was accomplished during the trip that could not have been done over the phone?[/quote]

That can be said for all business travel, but people still feel it's important. Anyway, sounds like you have a beef with Dr. McKnight and are just looking for nits to pick.[/quote]

Most business travel is unnecessary and many companies have significantly cut back except MCPS.

[b]I don't have any beef with Dr. McKnight.[/b]  I couldn't care less who runs MCPS but I do care about the wasteful spending when our kids are going without because they claim there is no money.

Your posts sure make it seem otherwise. :(

I would have an issue with any administrator doing this regardless of race.  You can play the race game but it’s not about race but what is a good use of mcps money, taxpayer money and what it accomplished.   You have yet to say what it accomplished.  [/quote]

Different poster, but no one here knows if this accomplished anything or not.  Its an assumption either way unless you get a debrief from Dr. McKnight of possibly Central Office.  The question that should be asked is why are people assuming ill will about Dr. MCKnight and this trip or this portion her trip with no evidence.

I agree with the posters who are supporting McKnight because I honestly don’t get the hate folks have for her.  She obviously trying to engage with the district community, she has a Strategic plan, is improving communication,  working to get kids caught up, and working with all parties on the benchmark curroculum.  Like what really do folks want from her.[/quote]

Back to the topic, how did this trip/college visit benefit MCPS.

Actually, she isn't trying to engage with the district community.  She's holding public meetings, unmasked in large groups.  That might be ok for your family, but not ours.  She's done nothing to engage the community we are in, in terms of schooling.

The only positive thing I see she is doing is bring back the police/security to the schools.  [/quote]

Really? I get emails from her constantly about community engagement. I'm not keen about turning schools into prisons.

However, it seems like you just have it out for Dr. McKnight. Makes me wonder if you were poster calling her Monifa a week ago?[/quote]

Schools aren't being turned into prisons.  They are bring in more security to keep our students and staff safe given recent events.  I think they need more security, not less and I'd be thrilled for things like metal detectors as sadly in today's culture they are needed.

I don't have it out for Dr. McKnight.  I'd feel this way about anyone in her position traveling, not  using her time wisely, and the wasteful spending as well as not putting student and staff needs above her pet projects.

I also feel the same way  about many of our elected officials behaving badly.  Biden not masking is an embarrassment... same with all the unnecessary travel.[/quote]
