[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does it say “tentative action” for the open lunch option. Is there a chance they don’t vote on it?[/quote]

They are not actually voting on keeping or eliminating open lunch. They are voting on what to do with the existing board policy. They have a variety of options of how they could proceed but it sounds like the superintendent basically asked them to forfeit their own rights to govern this topic so he, our unelected king, could be in charge of it and decide for everyone.

I get that, but voting on whether or not to rescind the policy is taking action on the open lunch policy. Why would it be labeled as tentative?[/quote]

At the committee hearing, Wolff asked if they could skip the public comment period and the answer was there is nothing in Board policy or MCPS regulation that would allow that. I think they will vote tomorow to present the plan to rescind the regulation to the public for comment. The policy requires 21 days and the regulation 30 days for comment. The chief counsel had originally said that rescission wouldn't take place until the 2027-2028 school year to allow time for the comment period and planning, but Wolff went out of her way to say she wasn't proposing that timeline. She wants to ram this through as fast as she can for this coming school year.

The second the proposal was the SMOB, Maloo, and Zimmerman also voted in favor. The only dissent was Yang, who had tried to table and failed to get a second. [/quote]
