[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should have kept Felder in place. Taylor is terrible.[/quote]

I can’t go that far. Taylor is trash but so was Felder. Sadly, it’s been a long time since MCPS has had a qualified and competent superintendent.[/quote]

Felder was substantive. Taylor is all style, but substance. [/quote]

You are correct that he has no substance. But he is worse than that. He doesn't listen and he thinks he has all the answers. He is an extreme change agent who doesn't care if he is breaking things or if what he creates is poor quality. We need to get rid of him and do it in a timely manner so the BOE is not forced into a hasty decision, like it was when they hired him.[/quote]

He met with a group of parents recently and tried to foist blame for this on the Board of Ed, saying he would have preferred to wait. Yeah, right. [/quote]

Yeah, I’m the pp saying that BOE was behind the scene to push this, as well as the holding school idea. I hope Taylor is smart enough to realize that he is just being used as the target and scapegoat and brave enough to stand out to call a stop.[/quote]

Have you *seen* the Board of Ed members?  They are clearly not on top of the details of how MCPS runs in anywhere near enough depth to come up with a master plan like these behind the scenes.   And they are "extremely* deferential to MCPS staff with very few exceptions. This is an absolutely ridiculous conspiracy theory.

Unlike the pp who heard secondhand from Taylor, I heard secondhand from a BOE member in a one-on-one individual chatting. Some BOE members are clearly dominating the board and the rest decide to subordinate, so they were just complaining but planned to vote yes.

I hope the apple ballot could give them some pressure to veto the proposal. [/quote]

You heard what from a BOE member?  That the BOE came up with the idea of regional programs and insisted that they be implemented immediately? [/quote]

Am I not clear enough? Some BOE member(s) are the ones behind the scene to push the idea, and the other junior ones decide to be just submissive. Think about it: who are seniors and don’t care about Apple ballot endorsement anymore?[/quote]

Let me give you one more hint. Who sit on the board currently that were there voting yes to the lottery for CES and MS magnets back in 2018? She was always anti-magnet and anti-consortia model, and right now it's her way to destroy them with zero liabilities because she is not going to run for BOE anymore.  [/quote]
