Dedicated to improving responsiveness and performance of Montgomery County Public Schools
The coalition might be the best-known parent advocacy group in the region. Its members represent several constituencies, including parents of special education and gifted education students and fiscal watchdogs. The group's defining victory came this school year when the school system scaled back the fees charged to families for course materials.
Coalition leaders have drawn attention to the misuse of funds collected from students for activities, the broadcast of a commercial radio service on school buses and, with their "Weast Watch" blog, the travel habits of Weast and his lieutenants.

Tip: Include the word "minutes" in your search keywords to focus your search on BOE minutes. But note that the search function on the MCPS website has been broken by a redesign on the site by the MCPS Public Information Office. It is no longer possible to restrict your search to just Board of Education minutes.
This is unbelievable. What a blunder. Starr to red zone parents who can't afford to pay the admission price to come to this meet and greet: drop dead. What on earth is the Board of Ed thinking? After all, Starr is their employee. Mr. Barclay, BOE president, why on earth did you tell Starr to do this?
ReplyDeleteWhat could he possible say at this pay-for-performance that can't be said for free?
ReplyDeleteWould I get a different speech from Dr. Starr because I don't pay to go and see him?
This is the most elitist and hypocritical junk ever ... where do the STUDENTS fit into this, and where is the money for this speaking event going?
ReplyDeleteTo me the interesting thing will be, how does Josh interact with the parents at the 'Listen and Learn' sessions vs. how does he interact with the audience on his 'let's meet the VIPs' tour. And who arranged this tour for him? with our tax dollars, I assume. This doesn't look good.
