Jack Smith is eliminating zeroes for missing work. You should love him!

^^ +1000

That Jack Smith and/or Jeff Sullivan are still employed shows a stunning lack of ethos

Damascus. The fact no one was fired for this horrific incident is damning. He had his leadership moment - and blew it. Real leader would have resigned.

He wants everyone back! If you want to thank anyone thank Elrich/Gayles. Jack doesn't care about you or your family. He's a bureaucrat stealing tax payer money.

Yawn

Jack, you tired?

Board said they wouldn't renew Starr's contract and he left early. Unfortunately Smith was just renewed (4 more years). Chances are he won't finish his term and Monifa will take over. Everyone knows and expects this. For him to be fired at this point, it would have to be something egregious.

How would he be fired? Does it take a unanimous vote from BOE or just a MJ majority?

Jack Smith is the only one that can unify Montgomery County.

Parents hate him
Teachers hate him
Students hate him
County Council hates him
2 members of the BOE hate him
School opening supporters hate him
Online learning supporters hate him
People against bureaucratic waste hate him
People against racism hate him
People against sexual assault hate him

Lazy Jack, the man that unites MoCo!

Why didn’t the BOE keep Starr? I never understood why he left. He seemed fine to me.

Starr was awful but Smith is great. He mostly cleaned up Starr's mess.

Explain? What has he done? If I had to point to one accomplishment he's done in four plus years I couldn't. I mean sexual assault has increased but that's all I can think of. Don't think you're touting that.

He got rid of Starrs C2.0 and also stopped the people from gaming magnet admissions.

He's also the only leader with the courage to begin the boundary analysis.

He hits nothing but homeruns in my book. Not sure why the cranks hate him but you know DCUM got to DCUM.

Jack stop complementing yourself on DCUM and actually do your job.

How's that going? No closer to changes than we were two years ago but hundreds of thousands wasted in studies, committees and non-action. That money could have been much better spent on students. There will not be major changes in boundaries just small tweaks. You didn't need years of studies, surveys and outside groups to figure that out. Jack loves burning money to pay outside organizations.

Yep. I look forward to the results of the $450K anti-racism study. Surely that will lead to revolutionary changes. Great way to spend money during a pandemic. I can’t roll my eyes enough at how much Smith has wasted taxpayer money.

Improving education for all students should be a priority for MCPS but what would actually help black and brown students more, spending $450k to put an extra teacher in 9 elementary schools to lower class sizes, put $450k into weekend/summer support programs for struggling students or spending $450k on a study. Jack loves paralysis by analysis. Beat a topic down with anecdotal data but not actually put money into fixing the problem.

An increase in reporting does not mean an increase in incidence. Many cases predate smith.

There is some truth to that. But, Smith certainly has not made things better.

Damascus?
Seneca Valley?
Blair?
Einstein?
Magruder?

That's just a few of the top of my head all during the wonderful Jack Smith era. Code of conduct has not been updated since he has been at the helm. There is no consequences for serious offenses of violence, sexual assault, racism, etc. The fact that he saved the Damascus principal by bringing her to central office when she was caught red-handed trying to cover up crimes. If he couldn't push to have her dismissed, it shows it's not a priority for him.

Funny, because someone keep posting this nonsense. But you never actually lost the great things that Jack Smith has done.

Feel free to back up your posts and maybe we could take you more seriously.

Ah but what exactly has he done? Not enough to say he’s great. Full stop.

Also, correction on Starr’s tenure. Although Starr was a dud, Curriculum 2.0 was not his baby. It was the ‘great’ Jerry Weast - who got a nice trip to Australia and New Zealand out of the deal (and likely some capital for his consulting business)
