We know who was paid $250,000 to be responsible for these decisions. No speculation at all.

We are not litigating the Parents Coalition here. You’re right in that we don’t know what extent she had in both issues, but the POINT is that she was involved in both issues, which neither she, Taylor or the BOE are acknowledging. Despite being asked directly multiple times by the County Council if employees involved in both issues still worked for the system.


DP. That should be the point. We don't know, and people are speculating for their own reasons.


You’re skipping over the rest of my post where I pointed out that she, Taylor and MCPS lied by failing to acknowledge that Essie was involved in both contracts and MCPS denied that any current employees were involved in both instances. That is a blatant lie, since Essie was there then and she’s here now.

No speculation.
Essie Mcguire was in charge of operations at MCPS. High paying job.
Her name was on both resolutions.
Taylor lied that all employees in charge were gone.

Essie McGuire’s name on both BOE resolutions.

These people are just busybody axe grinders. They always start these posts about MCPS insiders or how they're upset the county bought bocce equipment.

I agree with you and I feel like they are specifically targeting her for some unknown reason they are not stating. It's honestly bizarre to me.

You do know we have documents with her name on them with dates on them, right?

Stop living in an alternate reality.

Basically it recapped the fact that Essie had a hand in both the EV bus fiasco and now the CIP mess. I didn’t see anything controversial in it…


Full disclosure: I know Essie personally and respect her, most people who have worked with her do.

What evidence did it present for blaming her for these things? I think it's quite problematic to denounce a public servant without evidence.


Her signature on both documents....

https://parentscoalitionmc.blogspot.com/2024/08/county-council-staffer-essie-mcguire.html


In other words she was MCPS chief of staff at the time these things were done.

It really just sounds like you have an axe to grind against her.


She was not chief of staff at the time of both instances. She was an MCPS Associate Superintendent of Operations in both documents. Are you illiterate?


Wow, you are horrible.

She was not working for MCPS when they failed to enforce the contract. She supported the contract itself, but as I understand it the problem was that MCPS didn't enforce the contract.

Calling for Essie to be fired for this is beyond the pale.


+1. McGuire was actually one of the decent people in central office and left after McKnight and her cronies took over everything with their incompetence. She was reporting to Derek Turner at one point too, who was bad at every job they put him in.
