All this is very important but every single minute of energy and effort needs to go toward fall planning right now. There is no urgency to get ready for August 31.


DP. I'm pretty sure that what the PP was saying is that it needs to be part of fall planning. Not an extra, not an add-on. Part of.


Of course it should. But it would be nice to address it as part of the plan instead of talking endlessly about equity without relation to any plan. Equity is important. Got it. We must consider equity in every decision we make. Got it. So what's the plan?

NP. This isn’t the associated press and it is unreasonable for you to try to dictate how others provide you info. If you care that much watch it yourself or find other sources of coverage. Talk about entitlement to demand people describe it in the way you prefer.

Monifa McKnight is now up to talk race for ten minutes. She just cited climate data in schools being important to analyze but the climate surveys were cancelled this spring because MCPS knew the data would be negative.
