[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP: I also supported Scott Joftus wholeheartedly, bz I know him personally (he coached one of my kids' sports teams for a couple of years). He is a selfless guy who gives back to his community. I also work in the education field & have chatted with him about his ed consulting work. He's smart & we are fortunate that he threw his hat in the ring. I could not name all the other candidates bz I didn't know them personally, 19:06, but I assure you that there are plenty of parents in the Whitman & outside communities (I'm BCC) who know Joftus personally & are delighted that he was appointed. I don't think his wife's role is a conflict of interest, personally. She runs a nonprofit museum, also kid focused. I think the PP with an axe to grind is just searching for some dirt to throw.[/quote]

Then you know nothing about ethics or conflicts of interest. His wife just got $1.4M of MCPS Operating Budget funds in September. 
Nothing to think about. That is a conflict of interest for her husband. He didn’t disclose it. That was unethical.[/quote]

What is his wife’s salary?  Does she get a raise bc of the extra funding?  Kid museum clains it helps county students but it sits in one of the riichest neighborhood where most of parents are are highly educated.  [/quote]

The program is focused on schools with higher numbers of students in poverty.

Does MCPS provide bus service to Davis Library?[/quote]

Yes, it's like a field trip.[/quote]

Why can’t all students have Science classes in their own school? Why can’t  MCPS provide all students with science curriculum? How come only a few dozen students get bused to Bethesda for science from Joftus’ wife?
The number of MCPS students in poverty is high. They aren’t all being bused to Bethesda. Very few go. 
Students from Ckarksburg? Do they ever get this Bethesda science from Joftus’ wife?[/quote]
