[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was there an announcement for the new Acting Associate Superintendent? This is the second Acting Associate Superintendent in two years and Ty get new Acting Superintendent was the Resolution and Compliance Director hired by MCPS last October. So who is now the Director for Resolution and Compliance?

And what about all the vacancies for Special Education Teachers and Para Educators at the school level? Did MCPS just give up on finding employees for those positions as well?

McKnight brought in an enforcer.  A lawyer with lots of litigation experience and zero experience in special education.  [/quote]

Does this mean MCPS will actually start following the law or is it a signal that they intend to play hardball and force parents to lawyer up to get anything.

We have had success over the years writing letters to the associate superintendent for special ed and getting immediate corrections.

Who is the enforcer?

That is just one PP's take. And it is false to allege "zero experience in special education" when in fact she was a special educator herself, then later became a lawyer.

Here is the staff directory page with contact info:

She does say she's a former spec ed teacher, but she's been a litigator for the past 13 years, right?  Divorce attorney and defending Baltimore County and PGCPS from parents?

Do you think that's in the best interests of sp ed kids?  Yikes.[/quote]

You clearly have an agenda and aren’t going to see anything beyond MCPS does nothing. But bottom line, standard isn’t best interests of special Ed kids. Standard is what is a kid entitled to under the law and the answer is NOT everything the parent asks for. [/quote]

So the answer isn't to hire more special ed resources, but to spend it on bocce ball and defeat parents in court seeking help for their children???

YOU ARE PURE EVIL.   :evil: [/quote]

No actually I support giving people what they are entitled to receive. But I have no qualms in saying limit it to what they are entitled to receive. If you want more, use your health insurance or whatever money you have to get it. [/quote]

LOL you think health insurance pays for education.[/quote]
