[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adam Pagnucco eloquently and precisely slapped MCPS down for its current state. I [i]highly[/i] recommend folks read it: https://montgomeryperspective.com/2023/08/28/accountability-now/

My favorite bit:

[QUOTE]That said, their current approach to the sexual harassment scandal reminds me of the pre-Me Too era when organizations like Fox News would send victims to their HR departments, lawyer up and activate their PR people rather than genuinely try to stop such behavior.  And it’s not just about MCPS itself.  Other than County Executive Marc Elrich and Council Members Dawn Luedtke and Evan Glass, all of whom have called for independent investigations, elected officials with power over MCPS seem silent and/or reluctant to get involved.  Just look at the excuses that some of them offered to MoCo360.  One council member who refused to sign the Luedtke/Glass letter calling for an inspector general takeover requested a “cost/benefit analysis” before doing so.  Since when does the integrity of the school system require a “cost/benefit analysis?”

It’s all just so pathetic and disappointing.

MCPS leadership and the school board are circling the wagons right now.  They seem to believe that they are bullet proof and answer to no one.  In the short term, they may be right.  The state has ultimate authority over them but seems unlikely to step in.  So they can have their carefully vetted investigation, selectively report its findings to the public, set up their legal defense strategy against litigation and move on.  But there are medium-term and long-term costs to this that they will one day face.[/QUOTE][/quote]

So have they taken the approach of not issuing statements on wrongdoings because they don't have $ to pay for a consultant to write statements, for example the recent news about a teacher.? [/quote]
