[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCEA absolutely doesn't care about the victims. The didn't want to fire McKnight over the Beidleman scandal-- they're still mad at McKnight for reopening schools.[/quote]

Time to take off the tinfoil. Yikes. Got any facts to back up all that?[/quote]

MCEA has been out to get McKnight since reopening. That's what the initial vote of no confidence was about. But reopening was too popular, so they needed to wait to pin a scandal on her to get their revenge. And NAACP saw right through it.[/quote]

Really? I’m a teacher and don’t agree with any of that. Most of my colleagues felt she was up to the job.  Please don’t speak for all of us. [/quote]

You don't remember MCEA's vote of no confidence in January 2022?[/quote]

Hmmm. But it wasn’t about reopening. Clearly, they were right and tired of being abused and not being heard.  You do remember the Washington Post article in Fall of 2023, right?  [/quote]

It also was about her being Jack Smith's right hand.  He was awful towards MCEA and refused to listen to teachers.  It was partly guilt by association and teachers wanted someone from outside the cesspool Fat Jack created.  Looks like MCEA was right.[/quote]

And when was MCEA's vote of no confidence for Smith?

Gee, I wonder what is different about McKnight versus Smith that might cause someone to treat her differently...[/quote]

That she hired her cronies into all the chief positions and that they as a team were terrible at running the school system during the height of covid.[/quote]

I don’t remember Jack Smith creating a half dozen new leadership positions paying +$200k per year and then filling them with his toxic and incompetent buddies[/quote]

I don't remember McKNight doing it either but I guess it's a nice story to justify your racism.[/quote]

Let's refresh your memory:

"In May 2021, then-acting superintendent McKnight shook up the school system’s executive leadership structure by creating five new “chief” positions above the associate superintendents. Associate Superintendent of Human Resources and Development Helen Nixon’s role was re-titled Chief of Human Resources and Development. Despite the chiefs being the highest ranked positions under the superintendent’s office, the other four jobs were posted for approximately two weeks before McKnight filled them, according to two central office officials present at the time.

The MCPS Twitter account on May 25, 2021 announced the appointments of Dana Edwards, Stephanie Sheron, Ruschelle Reuben (chief of teaching, learning and schools) and Jeanie Dawson (chief of finance and operations) to the four additional chief roles.

Three of the chiefs’ tenures as middle school principals overlapped with McKnight’s, and Sheron, who was a middle school principal from 2018-2020, was McKnight’s assistant principal at Ridgeview Middle School from 2013-2016, according to Board of Education reports.

“It did not go unnoticed that a bunch of middle school principals were suddenly promoted to very high levels at the beginning of her tenure,” said Jennifer Martin, president of the Montgomery County Education Association, the teachers union. “It did certainly raise eyebrows.”

In FY2023, employees in the chief roles were among the top 10 salary earners in MCPS, at $226,244 per year, according to data obtained by MoCo360 via a Maryland Public Information Act request. "
