So this was not a one-time error:

[i][b]Dating back to 2021[/b], MCPS miscalculated prevailing wage and bid awards across the multiple phases of the project. This error was entirely MCPS’s.[/i][/quote]

I appreciate that there was a lot more detail here than what was in the board docs, and that Taylor is "supremely disappointed," but I need to know what actions will be taken to remediate this pretty gross failing on the part of multiple individuals and departments. I also think the BOE failed here too. But since they don't have independent staff, relying on the elected board members to be sharp on this stuff is unrealistic.[/quote]

The Board of Education hires the superintendent.

It is up to them to hire someone who obeys the laws. They seem incapable of doing that.[/quote]

These "errors" happened during Smith and/or McKnight's tenures, not Taylor's.[/quote]

And it’s likely an error in some formula that was uncovered.  Not just someone continuously carelessly entering amounts wrong.[/quote]

They did not follow the law on paying wages.

Now talk to the workers who were underpaid and give them your excuses.[/quote]

Speculation. [/quote]
