[quote=Anonymous]“ 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… 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.”

The issue is MCPS analysis and persuasive explanation of their plans are lacking. Just stating they made a decision is not good enough. Then to compound the issue, they don’t take any public comment or logic into consideration. Citizens being silent and letting MCPS “do their job” and sink our entire county is not acceptable as their decision-making is suspect and involves complicated issues where mistakes are costly. I would like to think taxpaying citizens in the county have a duty to scrutinize and criticize proposals as it involves our children’s education and substantial public funds. I would like to think we are against MCPS “doing their job” in a way that hides/obscures data, lacks detailed analysis for their recommendations or to alternatives and/or financial impacts, and discounts all public opinions and arguments, and then just moves forward anyway.
