Lots of new CEOs and executives join companies with minimal knowledge of their day to day operations.  [b]This is often seen as a good thing to shake things up. [/b] The new CEO looks at the company's priorities, budget, staffing, etc... with a critical eye, asking uncomfortable questions that prior management could not or would not ask.  The same applies to a new commanding officer in the military.

This seems to be the real fear of many on this board.

If MCPS officials are confident that they are spending their budget correctly and 100% to support the education of our children, they should be proud to educate someone from the outside.  Let the PowerPoint presentations fly.[/quote]

Often seen as a good thing, by whom? Would you hire a school superintendent who didn't know anything about schools? I wouldn't. I also don't want a BoE member who doesn't know anything about schools. And I really, really don't want a BoE member who doesn't know anything about schools and doesn't seem very interesting in learning, either; or even listening.[/quote]

He has no experience with schools, school system or is even a very involved parent with his kids schools.  Huge red flags.  However he is worried about his property and the schools his kids attend.  Another huge red flag.[/quote]
