MCPS received 1.2 mil from a vape company that was part of a national settlement.

Actually, you should be more curious about the pilot and how effective it was or wasn't at curbing the undesired behavior. That's what Grace and Praneel were getting at and what she was skeptical of.

Silvestre mentioned a settlement but did not elaborate.

You’re complaining about Marcus Jones wanting to do something about pervasive vaping in school? Maybe it will be a teacher may be an administrator, but I am so happy they’re doing something to physically address the issue as soon as it’s happening.


no. no one is complaining about detectors nor that he wants to do something about the issue.
Have you been on the ground/within the school during school hours, during passing times, lunch times?
If you have not, do not comment on questioning of who will carry out the wonderful proposed policies or practices.


Got it. 0 opinions.

No. She's running for reelection. Once she, Stewart, and Zimmerman are on the board, MCPS will plummet faster than Wile E. Coyote on rocket skates.
