[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More complaining by people likely not doing anything to produce change.  Those who want change will actively be advocating for county, state, and district policy that moves change, and aligning expectation appropriately.

For example, if they want correct oversight then they will pay the BOE members a salary worthy of the time to do so, thus attracting more candidates.  They will also provide the funding so those persons have the appropriate staff to be able to ensure said oversight.

They will be actively paying attention to MSDE policy that is going to then drive policy and operations in districts.  They will be paying attention to budget from a position of analyzing needs, tradeoffs, and wants.

But what we have is people complaining about getting a new school.[/quote]

Oversight isn't a full time job. What corporate board of directors put anything remotely close to full time in?

The school board professional staff need to be pulled outside the superintendent's sphere of influence. Elected positions need to be truly part time, facilitating working parents to have those roles.[/quote]

How many people know the people who serve who a corporate board of directors?  How many average people are reaching out and wanting FaceTime with a corporate board of directors? MCPS from a facility and people perspective is bigger than some colleges.  People don't want to pay the BOE, but they also don't want there to be a number of people in CO.  They also don't want to fund the full staff needed for proper auditing and assessment.  They also don't to have an honest discussion about what it would really cost to get all the people, services, programs, and facilities they want.[/quote]

And you're never going to get an honest assessment or discussion as long as you need to rely on elected people. You're not going to get qualified people. You're just going to get whoever tells residents and union members what they want to hear.[/quote]
