[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And others are so far gone that they fail to see how Dr. McKnight could make better use of her time by recruiting from the many leading institutions in the DC Metro area. Did she pay for the trip out of her own salary or take personal leave for the trip? Or did she have a one hour meeting and travel for free and without taking leave? If the latter then she is a truly unethical government employee.[/quote]

OR the ones complaining about Dr. McKnight’s trip fail to understand, 1) There is a national shortage of people applying to teaching colleges, 2) the number of people leaving or retiring from the profession continues to grow, 3) MCPS already recruits from the DC metro area, 4) They are competing with every other nearby MD and vA county/city and DC for teachers from DC area colleges and universities, and 5) minority teachers are needed.  Given these 5 realities, reaching beyond the DC metro area is not unreasonable and in fact wise.  Doing so with a university she gas a personal relationship with and can serve as a shining example of the success that could be had is also wise.

So what is the real issue????[/quote]

This school has less than 50 students graduate a year in education.  MCPS has recruiters.  So, what was the purpose of this visit?  Did she even meet with students?[/quote]

+1 Dr. McKnight is also CUTTING teacher positions for next year. When MCPS teachers are being given notice that their job has been cut, there seems to be little need to travel out of state to recruit teachers.[/quote]
