Not at all. The BOE blew $168M on ev buses without a thought.[/quote]

Is this true? If so, that's infuriating that the EV buses can be funded but Wootton hasn't been able to get < $100M for repairs. The repairs are more critical than EV buses.[/quote]

Kamala Harris thought EV buses were important, so I guess MCPS was in good company.

It’s not like EVs have a problem operating in cold temperatures and won’t be able to keep stranded kids warm. Just give little Johnny/Janey an extra pair of gloves. [/quote]

I’m all for keeping Wootton on Wootton Parkway and holding MCPS accountable for poor financial decisions but making unsolicited references to Harris a year into an administration most people in this county reject is not a good look for our community and sends the wrong message about why we want to keep the school where it is. Maybe place those grievances elsewhere because they’re not doing us any favors. [/quote]

Don’t want to derail the thread, but the analogy is apt because the motivations are the same. As you likely know, there was a real push for EV school buses by the prior administration, as well as democrat-led state and local governments. In the case of MCPS, it demonstrates a failure to comply with procurement procedures in a rush to support the then-prevailing view that EV was a reliable technology for widespread school bus deployment. This turned out to be very technologically and fiscally unwise. As a consequence, and as noted by the PP, the money spent on EV buses could have been spent renovating schools (including Wootton).

So the analogy fits, even though you seem to be strongly aligned with the actions of the prior administration and strongly opposed to the actions of the current one.

PS. I’m not a fan of the current administration either.[/quote]
