The future of MCPS.

Future of society. AI

HR is part of the corrupt system that blames and churns or teachers out without support or protection. The admin however get promoted by doing things against the rules while firing teachers who follow the rules. Ergo no mas teachers.

At the other end of the spectrum you have tiny public school systems (7 or fewer schools) without much hr where you need to go to HS with one of the superintendent’s kids to even get an interview.

It’s also been that way. I was hired in 2002. They received by hand delivery but lost my transcripts, which I had to pay to have expedited. They confused me with another hire of a different race and age and accused me of falsifying an undergrad degree in education that I never said I had. As a result, I had to turn down a great position 15 min from home. They misspelled my name on documents delaying everything.

It hasn’t gotten better. Six new hires at my school missed much of preservice despite being hired in May.

You think there are many people wanting to work for MCPS where they have to deal with crazy MCPS parents? That ship has sailed.

This.

And there is a trickle down effect similar in each individual school.

Until the law is broken with delays on legal deadlines they are required to meet. Just because the standard isn’t in the WH doesn’t mean it shouldn’t apply to MCPS. Someone in HR needs to be accountable.

but seriously, leave the HR people alone. I'm going to bet that they are trying their best with limited staffing and funding. Leadership is a different story.

MCPs will try to address this by hiring an associate superintendent of wait times at $250,000 a year.

Omg I hate that this is so hilariously accurate. This is exactly what they would do.

Are all schools systems this dysfunctional?

Its really bad for current staff who have HR questions or concerns... there are still people who have unanswered questions regarding their paychecks and lesve despite the PR that MCPS has put out to the contrary. Its really a system that is in a free fall
