[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did Starr get the boot from BOE? I honestly cannot remember. Just the 2-sentence version, please.

I thought Curriculum 2.0 started under Weast...

It was going to be a 4-4 split vote on renewing his contract, so he resigned rather than asking for another term. Reportedly against him were Mike Durso, Jill Ortman-Fouse, Rebecca Smondrowski, and Judy Docca. He had let himself be publically named as a candidate for the NYC superintendent, and they didn't care for that...among other things.

And yes, Starr inherited Curriculum 2.0 from Weast.[/quote]

I like Smith because he got rid of 2.0. Starr not so much. [/quote]

Let’s be real.  It looks more like the contract with Pearson ended.  That’s why the Curriculum 2.0 drivel lasted so long!  And why Smith hired Hopkins at Half a million to tell him ‘this stinks.’  Might have been a rider in the contract for performance checks.  Smith simply got lucky the performance rider came into play in his term or contract ended.  This is hardly ‘leadership.’  But how Weast is still praised on this site is beyond appalling.  Guessing it’s just union members who loved the blank check - but don’t they all give you a blank check without selling our kids (and their data) to a scammy British Multinational?  McKnight will leave when she can instill a contract for shark videos in MCPS for science for her old employer Discovery Channel.[/quote]
