[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think because the NAACP was protesting removing McKnight, and the BOE knew that the optics of firing the first black female superintendent didn't look good, they think they're covering their butts by hiring another black woman for the job. It's pathetic. But you can see this is a purely political move with no regard for the wellbeing of staff or students.[/quote] Oh yes, when you hire a white man, it's a merit hire, but when you hire a black woman, it can only be political and due to optics. /s[/quote] If you think a board that touts the fact that it's all-female, with black and brown representation, when it receives criticism about its decisions, as it did here: [QUOTE]Given this proven track record, we find it curious that an excellent school system with a highly diverse, all-female Board of Education (with the exception of the student member), duly elected by the residents of Montgomery County, led by the first appointed African American female superintendent, now somehow needs greater oversight and accountability for the management of its budget, spending and operations.[/QUOTE] SOURCE: https://moco360.media/2023/05/12/opinion-mcps-books-are-open/ If you think that same board was not prioritizing replacing the black woman they were removing with another black woman for the optics, then you're naive and a fool.[/quote]
