[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bad news for you — MCPS decision making is not a democracy. Thomas Taylor and the BofE can take as much or little as they want from the testimony of the public. Seems like every once in a while something in public comment that resonates with them but most of the time they do what they want. I think people have unrealistic expectations of what should be the involvement of the public. These people are hired, or voted on, by US, to do a job so let them do it. [/quote] That job includes having community input as a feedback mechanism. Best practice also suggests a robust approach to that as a means of -- touching ground regarding the interests of the constituencies served, -- of soliciting ideas that might not have been considered due to group-think, and -- of better ensuring buy-in, which results in benefits when plans are put into action.[/quote]
