[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find this quote from Jacinta Green frustrating:

[i]But, she said, ACPS wasn’t creative enough in reopening its in-person instruction to kindergarten-to-second graders and students with the greatest needs.

“I just think we needed to bring them back faster,” she said. “It needed it needed to be more creative in doing it, with out of more out-of-the-box thinking.”[/i]

She was on the school board while these decisions were being made.  Hindsight is 20/20 but how vocal was she on this issue during the closure?  Is there a particular SB meeting or two when she spoke out strongly about this?

The quote seems like something one of the new candidates would say.  Not a quote from someone who was partially responsible for keeping those kids out of schools.

No, Greene only seemed to be concerned in the meetings I watched on whether sports were restarting.  I don’t know how Greene contributes to the Board. [/quote]

That's what I remember too.

Her statement that the curriculum is "whitewashed" is odd too considering that the SB votes on the curriculum.  She's been a part of the board for three years.  Is she saying that Dr. Monzingo would oversee and be happy with  a "whitewashed" curriculum? If that's not the case, is she placing the blame with the teachers?

It's the same thing as the comment on the school closures.  These quotes make it sound like she's a new a new candidate and hadn't been a part of the board at all.  She doesn't seem to acknowledge her role in anything.  [/quote]
