[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At DCC meeting today they answered questions about lack of public feedback by saying that the proposal was prepared for the Board, and [b] they are now getting the feedback from the public.[/b] They reassured that no current local program will be eliminated but dodged questions about whether the programs will be effectively weakened and interest will then lack due to new programs structure. [/quote]

Did they actually solicit any feedback on the call (i.e. ask people what they thought)?  Did they mention any opportunities for people to give feedback moving forward?  Because if not, they are not doing this.[/quote]

You can enter your questions and comments in the form that's been available for awhile now.

That's not a feedback form, that's them gathering questions to answer in their FAQ.  They've never put out a feedback form as far as I know.[/quote]

It’s a form. Use it. Put in your concerns, questions, thoughts.

I swear some of ya’ll don’t know how to be resourceful.[/quote]

It's a black hole.  MCPS should be making questions/feedback public without filter or modification except for the elimination of truly coarse language, with direct answers where possible.

They don't (in a timely manner), however, because...

1) They don't want to address certain issues with specifics that would tend to raise questions about less well understood but serious impacts of their preferred course of action, some of which would lead to greater inequity and some of which would draw the ire of stakeholder groups seen as capable of holding greater sway, either of which might cause them to have to alter their approach,

2) They don't want the increased notice that such publication of stakeholder ideas might bring forth, and

3) They don't want members of the BOE to be able to glean insight which might raise questions prior to their being able to present their plans at a time (versus review/approvals) that would make meaningful modification close to impossible.[/quote]
