[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go McKnight!!! I'm looking forward to a new beginning. Let's see what she can do. Do you NOT every year think of Fall as a new beginning? Who doesn't. Stop being such cranky fusspots. It's not healthy.[/quote]

She had the same job last year. She received votes of no confidence from two employee unions. I think we have already seen the downward spiral she wants to send the school system. Everyone in Central Office spends so much time focusing on their next promotion that very little is being done to improve the education students are receiving.[/quote]

100% agree[/quote]

I'm optimistic. She's just starting this job and I'm looking forward to all the great things she'll do to improve our schools.[/quote]

You are new here. She is not. She started a year ago.  What has she improved in her first year?  No excuses. [/quote]

I certainly think the 2021-22 school year was an improvement over the 2020-21 school year. There are still many additional improvements to be made, absolutely, but this past year was a better year than the virtual school year.[/quote]

i thought "a new beginning" meant she resigned.

Improvement?  Hardly.  The fiasco in January calling for National Guard to drive kids to school?  2100+ staff out sick, 21 schools shut down for two weeks, 9%+ of the student body infected?  Using federal covid money for $1M on bocce ball, $2M on discrimination training, $2M on Kid Museum?  Holding kids at Magruder while the parents wait outside, showing up late because she doesn't live in the County so needed a police escort through traffic, but had the fashion sense to wear a pink outfit for the shooting?  Going on a recruiting junket to pick up two personal awards at her alma mater when last year MCEA indicated 500 teachers wanted to retire or leave and this year was over 900?

If that's your idea of "improvement", that's pretty twisted.[/quote]

Guess some of us our twisted as we like that schools were kept open all year.  We’re okay with spending money on bocce ball as its an inclusive team sport.  We’re okay with funds being spent on discrimination training.  We understanding that kids we’re not kept in Magruder due to a press release but because of protocols and safety.  We also know that teachers all across the country want to retire or leave the profession.  Not great in general but not unique to MCPS.  If these are the only faults that folks can find w/ McKnight then she must be doing a awesome job.

Protocols?    Name one protocol that demands students be held hostage long after the shooter has been removed?
You really need to work harder if you want to keep your pr job. Your fake posts should at least be believable.

 I was in the building during the lockdowns with me students.  I felt everything was handled professionally by the police.  Yes, we could have let kids use the bathrooms, but everything else made sense to me.  Unfortunately, superintendent doesn’t get to tell police how to do their job..[/quote]
