[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not usually an MCPS apologist, but doesn't this sound like an issue on the part of the intermediary organization, not MCPS itself?

There's some contracting company in the middle, I assume, and it was their decision not to allow shipping and their decision not to provide sheets.

Maybe we figure out who they are rather than blaming the school district? [/quote]

It is the contract they signed.

It is on MCPS.[/quote]

MPCS is the employer. They are ultimately sponsoring the visas and responsible for these employees. Sure, if they hired a horrible third party agency then they bear responsibility as well, but ultimately the school district is holding the bag here. They should have selected a more reputable agency, or done more due diligence. If the teachers are in training with MCPS and other educators are aware of and crowdsourcing basic household items for them, the district is aware of the issue and bears some responsibility. At a minimum they should be working with the agency to handle this for the teachers and not turning a blind eye while the community, teachers, and parents try to rely on charity and donations to provide these folks with the basics. God knows they waste enough money, if they can find millions for DEI surveys they should be able to give each of
these teachers a thousand dollar relocation allowance and charter a bus to IKEA. [/quote]

How do you know that MCPS isn’t working with the contracting to improve this?  The question is going to become What qualifies as furnished housing?  Rules for working with contracted employees varies.[/quote]
