Weast testimonial for tech vendor


"All of our technology partners know they are not permitted to use MCPS testimonials in advertising." Superintendent Jerry Weast, January 7, 2009 in answer to Board of Education Question #9.
As reported here and here the MCPS Logo and testimonials have, in fact, been used by vendors in advertisements readily available on the Internet.

And below is a third example of a private company using the MCPS Logo to advertise their product. In addition, this advertisement includes a testimonial from Supertintendent Weast (see page 2, right hand column).
