[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My prediction is that Dr. McKnight might fire Brian Hull and/or April Key over this. Depending on how much traction this story gets.

But I don't know. She fired Dr. Murphy and a bunch of associate directors involved in the Beidleman scandal, and she clearly made an agreement with her chief of staff Brian Stockton to have him bow out gracefully, but I don't think she can keep pointing the finger at everyone else. If the culture is this toxic, what does that say about her as its leader?

The BOE needs to hold her accountable.[/quote]

And what if THEY are the source of the problem? [/quote]

I think that depends on the BOE member. Shebra Evans and Brenda Wolff are definitely staunch McKnight defenders. I can't tell which way Silvestre and Smondroski lean. Lynne Harris is largely aligned with McKnight but willing to go even more left than McKnight when it comes to LGBT and environmental issues. And Grace Rivera-Oven and Julie Yang don't seem to be infatuated with McKnight at all. Grace is probably the most openly critical of McKnight out of all the BOE members.[/quote]

Smondrowski doesn't like her. Silvestre does. But this is such a mess though. Imagine having two C-Suite leaders go this far to defend a principal. What is so special about him to go to these lengths, including clear-cut retaliation? If I'm a principal, staff member, or anyone in MCPS, I have zero -- no, negative -- trust in anything that comes from McKnight or her team. If they won't follow the rules, why should we? House must be cleaned, as this firmly affects the district's already tanking reputation.[/quote]
