Dr Mooney requested an exemption to NOT attend the school safety meeting. His bosses granted it. Mooney was the one who refused to go. Moran was protecting Mooney’s privacy, as he is required to do, and Mooney threw Moran under the bus.

Mooney sent this message to staff last night: “As the principal, I also need to set the record straight on several items…*With regards to the recent safety community meeting held at B-CC by Councilman Friedson, at no point was I directed not to attend the meeting but instead expressed a preference not to attend due to a prior commitment which my supervisors supported”.

Dr Mooney has been proven to have repeatedly lied to Central Office and to have lied about Central Office to his staff. He has lied about basic safety issues. He has repeatedly refused to enforce bullying protocols when the victims of the bullying are students of color or Jewish students. Those are only some of the issues here. If some teachers want to support that, it’s their right. But not everyone would agree with that choice.

These teachers at B-CC are an embarrassment. They are doing MCAAP's job for them.

Then where was MCAAP this morning?

That's fine, but then Peter Moran should've explained that as parents and students took the mic to denounce the principal and admin in general for not being there.

He couldn't even communicate THAT? And he oversees everyone? Lordy help us all.

I think he CHOSE not to communicate that.

Your last part: typical.

Moran is not calling the shots on this. Try Taylor. It's a west county high school with parents up in arms.

He has his hand in everything.

I will not return to a profession that has contempt for safety reporting

Yup. The cabal of lies and secrecy in the admin class in MCPS is toxic.

To be clear, I'm not faulting Dr. Mooney for not having attended this one meeting. I am saying that ever since he stepped into the role of Principal, he has not been effective. This is not a personal attack on his character - I like the guy. He's just not in the role that's best suited to his skills, and it shows.

Or maybe, just maybe, you know — these are pandemic consequences that A LOT of the schools are facing rather than just BCC.

You have to be kidding me. Enough with that excuse.

Kennedy Principal is retiring. She lasted two years.
