Doesn't care about doing a good job, doesn't care about oversight from government, doesn't care about the public he serves, just enjoying goofing off for a paycheck as long as it lasts, and blaming his underlings when he is in charge of execution!

This really means a lot. The data is what the data is – I can’t change it. Politicians who chest-thump is nothing new in Montgomery County. I work for politicians, but I am not one and I also don’t wobble when they fuss (this makes them uncomfortable). Been doing this a long time…what’s the worst that could happen? They fire me? …great! Maybe I’ll get a full night’s sleep for once. 🙂
In all seriousness, the state has no role in this, especially individual legislators. We’ll get through this. And yes – Magruder finally has a clear path! They will be in the next CIP…I just wish it didn’t take so dang long to get stuff done around here.
Again, thanks for reaching out. Onward…!
All my best,
Thomas
Oh this email only confirms again that he is a narcissist. I appreciate him not bending toward politicians, but meanwhile it also reveals his extreme arrogance and belief in himself that he is always the smartest elephant in the room.
+1 sounds like he thinks of himself as an education bro :barf:
What specifically is an education bro?

He says the state has no role in this. Let's see what happens if/when the state decides to insert itself into this process!

This is the first time I've felt a slight sense of empathy for him. No one sane would want this job. The systems are too big, the problematic admins and their minions have wormed their tentacles in for 30+ years and no one superintendent can tease it all out, and a significant minority of the parents in this county are utterly vile.
I don't like him, but the perfect candidate isn't out there. Because again, nobody decent wants this job.
He definitely did not grasp the scope and complexity of the job, but unlike you, I have no empathy for him because he should have done his homework and he lacks humility.

Thanks Mrs. T. When exactly did he turn down the job multiple times? Do tell.

I like his email. Refreshingly honest. He comes across like a real person, warts and all.

Trump ignores court orders. Taylor ignores court orders.
and DCUM hates union labor. They all have something in common
