[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly this makes me like him more.  I like that he’s not afraid to challenge the politicians and wont roll over for them.[/quote]

Same here. His reply was honest.[/quote]

We haven't had a superintendent who was strongly leading the district despite politicians since Jerry Weast.[/quote]

Jerry Weast had councilmembers to his house on Fridays for poker games. It was well known. Weast worked closely with the council.[/quote]

To be clear, while that was politically savvy on his part and probably let him do what he wanted to do with MCPS, that is ultimately not how we want local government to work. The County Council is supposed to be another layer of oversight after the BOE, and they can't play that role if they're too cozy with the superintendent.

I want a BOE and County Council that takes its oversight jobs seriously and can separate friendships from roles and responsibilities and evaluate the system's performance clearly without letting biases such as being invited to friendly outings with the superintendent to cloud their judgement.[/quote]
