[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I realized reading the Bethesda Beat article from today that this entire concept was only introduced to the BoE/public in May of this article.

Article from May:

That’s astonishing speed without any kind of stakeholder/public involvement until it’s presented as a done deal.[/quote]

To be honest, while I agree with the speed, there actually HAS been a great deal of stakeholder involvement. The problem is, the stakeholder group MCPS convened was gagged by an NDA initially, and MCPS has continuously ignored and disregarded the input and feedback from this group and principals, teachers and parents, since then.

So there isn't an absence of feedback and input, there's an unwillingness to listen and incorporate it or act on it.[/quote]

The lack of listening to teachers and principals is really striking. Parents… (I’m just a parent too) I get how parents often care about their own narrow interests, different groups are going to want different things, so you’re never gonna make everyone happy. But you NEED buy-in from teachers and principals. [/quote]
