[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Board likes the job he’s doing. He’s not going anywhere. [/quote]

Then the BOE will lose in reelection, if anyone chooses to run for the board. If Rita Montoya won, anyone can win.[/quote]

No one is running for reelection this year except for Rivera-Oven, and she's running unopposed.[/quote]

It's sobering to think that school systems in Maryland are set up to give so much power to one superintendent. The BOER, votes on budget, hires/fires superintendents, and advises the superintendent. BOE is a sham institution that "oversees" over half of the county's budget.
 
This construct has become untenable in light of the tax burden.[/quote]

Montgomery County residents HAVE to write to their state delegates and senators to FORCE change on the structure and role of the BOE if we want something different.

1) Start with making the board full-time and competitive pay

2) Give the BOE more direct oversight powers with teeth

3) Ensure the BOE has a separate and supported infrastructure and staff to truly provide meaningful oversight over MCPS

Without those changes, the BOE will continue to pretend to do oversight work and rubber stamp whatever the superintendent tells them to do.[/quote]

This is not a full-time paid job.  Stop making it into one.  They knew what they were getting into and refuse to do their positions properly.[/quote]

It is more than full-time, if done properly. Multiple billions of our tax dollars are overseen by the BOE. I'm good with substantive oversight - we need to make changes at the state level to enable this.[/quote]
