[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]News flash: the BOE doesn’t give a hoot about public comment. All they care about is taking a position where they can be assured that they will get the union endorsement, and thus, win their election.[/quote]

This X100. The MCPS employees do not care whether kids are bussed or not. As long as the BOE keeps the raises up and accountability for employees low it only needs to distract the public. What better way then to start pursuing one of the most antagonistic and failed educational actions ever -bussing.

The whole boundary discussion is a wonderful distraction for the BOE because it distracts from all the other failures within MCPS. They will keep the public enraged and engages about bussing for the next few years while they continue to fail to implement student safety, address predators on MCPS staff, screw up yet another curriculum, see their scores drop even more, buildings fall further into disrepair, spend more on consultants and lawyers to get them out of their self inflicted messes etc etc.

I'm not saying that some BOE members do not believe whole heartedly in forced bussing. Several do because they are stuck in the 1970s but not smart enough to remember how badly it failed.

Agree completely.

I have attended and watched some BOE meetings and this is definitely how I feel.  MCPS is such a failure, that this is just one more distraction instead of actually making meaningful improvements.  [/quote]
