[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone please help me understand why the Board wouldn't fire the superintendent and bring someone new in to clean up the colossal mess that is MCPS? Why are they so protective of her?[/quote]

Possibly because they just hired her in 2022 after conducting a national search, and they had an unimpressive field of candidates.[/quote]

They offered it to at least one other person who decided not to take it. I like that Dr Knight is local to MD. At this point, the only "national" folks we are going to actually convince to come here are only doing it to move on somewhere else quickly (and won't be here long enough to make any change) or are grifters and see an opportunity to make some cash on the side. McKnight makes $320,000 for managing a 3+ billion dollar organizational budget. Housing is extremely expensive here. And you are expected to solve inequality in education in a school system that over 30% FARMS with a very high ESOL population. Who is moving from another part of the country to take this on?

My own rant. I don't understand why we have this ever-increasing budget but can't get class size down in ES.[/quote]

These issues can be resolved without getting class sizes down.  And, stop blaming the FARMS kids.  We went to a FARMS school.  The kids weren't the issue.  The principal, teaching style, lack of structure and bad curriculum were.[/quote]

Because reducing class size requires 1)Additional teachers, 2)additional space, and 3) additional equipment.  It’s not an answer you can snap your way out of.[/quote]
