[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was at the meeting. He's very affable and a great speaker in person. I cannot say the same about some other BOE people. He broke down some complex issues in a very easy to understand way. In particular, I feel like the program explanation was interesting (it's not very costly to implement these apparently) and it made me more open to that plan, especially as he said doubling-up certain programs in each region (if the demand exists) would be easy. Do I feel like he heard the community's concerns on some issues? (Like SS getting the shaft in favor of wealthy west-county areas.) No. Do I feel like I learned a lot about MCPS failings of the past and how that has gotten us to where we are now? Yes. He said he has not seen the 3rd round of boundary study options and we should expect that after Thanksgiving. They are still looking for feedback and if you bring up an option they haven't considered, they will be open to that feedback. So basically, if you think you have a better idea/solution, please email him + the BOE and submit a survey response. Form letters do not work - he was very clear about that.

Superintendents who had their own agenda, hired lawyers rather than correcting problems, and spent school funds under the table. Exactly all the things he is doing now. [/quote]
