The $ for that retirement could be used for metal detectors.

Trying to bury the story with all these links?

Taylor is crying and still claims he is new.

Geez

Where is Chief Safety Officer Marcus Jones in all of this?

MCPS notorious for making the news on a weekly basis. School hasn't even started. A big sigh.

Given that one of the letters to DHHS was by the new head of HR, it's safe to say April was very involved in this mess.

Although, to be fair to her, the backlog and non-compliance preceded even HER as it apparently started in 2019. She only joined MCPS in 2023.

Mcps sent out a background check message to families (the week they know families are vacationing) to get ahead of news releases.

All of them should be out.

"Breaking**Inspector General: "Actions of MCPS senior leaders do not demonstrate either accountability or transparency." Report on MCPS Failure to Background Check Staff/Contractors/Volunteers."

At my work (security) they run background checks on us annually for that reason.
