MCEA or the 4 other companies that were just cut out of bidding on this multi million dollar deal?

Name the companies.

Why? No one cares. Joftus' wife gets the $2.37M today at noon.

You know it could be more than 4 companies. No one will ever know because no bids were allowed. What if it's 12 companies? The Board of Education doesn't care. They want Joftus' wife to get the cash.

I’m sure there’s a way to file a protest if one of the “4 other companies” truly believes there is a procurement irregularity.

Of course. The protests go before the Board of Education and they deny them. Easy peasy.

Sorry your pie-in-the-sky startup didn't get off the ground.

The $2MM grant is about $12.50 per student across MCPS.

And? So what. All MCPS students don't go to this place. Only a few go. Your point is meaningless.

And those students pay for the visit.

Doing what? What are they doing and why do you prefer to take your child to Bethesda instead of having a science teacher in your school?

Because MCPS can't afford to outfit every teacher - or even each school - with all the cool stuff the kid museum has.

And they only send very few students, so it's a win for the Bethesda kids that desperately need this type of facility in their back yard.

Oh yes. That's what MCPS really needs the most - a "win for the Bethesda kids". Yup.

Assuming the Kids most likely in the age range for Kid Museum is between 5th through 7th grade, they could have purchased Annual Passes for every kid in those grades - but they didn't. So where did all the money go? I know who didn't go - and that's the vast majority of kids in those grades.

Still doesn't make it a remotely good use of Covid $$.

Was it Covid money? MCPS has been supporting them since pre-covid.

ESSER III? McKnight signed it.

I don't have a problem with the KID contract. It does bother me that he voted in Dr McKnightt at the expense of driving out many of our best educators and leaders.
