The Montgomery County Board of Education will no longer post on X, formerly Twitter. We encourage you to follow us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Facebook. Thank you.
That's one way to NOT be transparent. The goal of the BOE should be to reach the greatest amount of people. Instead, they are throwing some type of political temper trantrum. If anyone doubts that the BOE isn't political, I have news for you.
Most legitimate organizations have quit X. It’s a cesspool. That is not a political move.
BOE is an elected position btw, by definition it’s political.
It’s odd that you believe X is still relevant.
It is objectively weird to pretend X is not extremely relevant. I dislike Musk but I am not delusional about the relevancy of X. If anything, the influence is growing.
Bless your heart. It’s the opposite. Its influence has been waning for more than a year. It’s essentially unusable, unreliable and irrelevant today.
The BOE heard otherwise in just a short time since their silly decision. How you like them apples?
DP. No, the PP was correct about Xitter being essentially unusable, unreliable, and irrelevant. The BoE is unfortunately just not all that great at leadership.
Yeah man. And Kamala was going to win Iowa by 9 points. Any other mindless lib talking points you wish to toss out there?
(see the PP's post in case anyone was wondering what Xitter is like these days and why the BoE might have wanted to get off it)
Or, the folks wondering could just, I don’t know, actually go to the BOE’s X page and see for themselves the horror that it represents. Oh wait, 99% of their posts don’t have any comments or responses at all and those that do are nearly all civil and polite.

Just curious (as a person that uses no social media), what type of school info are you receiving on X? or FB etc. I assume I am not missing anything. I have two kids in different HSs and we seem to be ok.

I do wonder who is left on MoCo Xitter to qualify as "many of you" for the BoE.
As for the idea that BoE members should post on DCUM by name so that DCUM posters can have "meaningful, substantive exchanges"?
1. They don't get paid enough for that.
2. Even assuming that such a thing were possible on DCUM, which: lol.

I would love for them to post as registered users so that we could have meaningful, substantial exchanges with board members.
I remember Scott Joftus posting here during his brief tenure on the board. Then he got voted out.

It stopped being relevant when it the veracity of information cannot be trusted. This is like saying Russian troll farms are relevant since that's what you're getting from Twitter.
Oh come on. Russian troll farms don’t impact BOE posts. They can post their announcements there as easily as they can at other places.
Also, the idea that Twitter pre-Musk was this neutral source of truth is openly laughable.
Doesn't matter. It's a cesspool, and we should steer clear.
That’s, like, your opinion, man. But not especially rational.
The Dude would support this move by the BOE. You just look silly paraphrasing him in support of X.

If most people who follow BOE news aren't on Twitter anymore, why post there anymore?
Organizations follow the majority of their clients / population. It's how capitalism works.
