[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who aren't in the know, a first grade teacher, Sarah Magid, at MCPS's Charles Drew Elementary School in Silver Spring, MD was arrested recently after she was charged for selling fentanyl to a DC man who died as a result of overdosing on the drug.

This smacks of more HR malfeasance and incompetence, similar to the Beidleman scandal, where people who put Beidleman forth for promotion knew he was under investigation for harassment but played dumb until things hit the fan in the Washington Post. Unlike Beidleman, it's hard to presume that Magid got the teaching job because of some connection, but then again, she is the daughter of a notable University of Maryland basketball player and Montgomery Blair High School Alumni, Brian Magid: https://mocoshow.com/2023/07/02/blairs-all-time-leading-scorer-brian-magid-has-high-praise-for-moco-native-nbas-josh-hart/

It's possible that someone knew someone in the hiring process at MCPS and did Brian's daughter a favor and got her hired at MCPS, despite her sketchy criminal background.

Or, it could just be that MCPS's HR department is sloppy and incompetent in its function and someone [u]just[/u][b] [b]failed to do a thorough enough background check[/b].

The fact that either scenario is equally plausible says a lot about the state of MCPS these days.[/quote]

Hmm....no background check?[/quote]
