When was the job posted?

They took the posting down but it was up for like a week or two at most.

This is good news and a positive for MCPS.

I heard he was golf buddies with Beidleman.

Will he train school security assistants to stop flirting with students while they hang out in the halls? I’ve seen 4 different security assistants at our middle school and most of them are useless. They either flirt with the students or the students waste class time flirting with them. They want to be the buddies with kids and then wonder why they don’t listen or follow their instructions.

Just hours after the Montgomery County Council commemorated his retirement with a proclamation, county police Chief Marcus Jones was appointed Tuesday as chief of the Department of Security and Compliance for Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS).

Yeah, that didn't happen by accident. It was tightly choreographed and coordinated.

Who recruited him? McKnight no
Felder no

Karla and the BOE. Maybe with the support, or encouragement, from Jawando and the County Council.

Karla and the BOE? Is that a band?

No one on the Board of Education would take any such aggressive action. It makes no sense when they were hiring a new superintendent.

Of course it was. MoCo is corrupt.

How is applying for a job corrupt?

You actually believe Marcus applied for the job and won the position fairly? It was held for him and there was not a competitive application process.

Was the job posted?

Because MoCo is corrupt and the head of MCPS safety has always been a soft landing for retired law enforcement to double dip and collect a paycheck while also drawing a retirement pension.

Can you call it corruption when it’s allowed? Plenty of people have second careers after retirement.

And he earned a pension. Can’t get mad at him for that.
