From a PATCH article:
...Morris Panner, a parent of students at Somerset Elementary School, has requested permission to appear before the Ethics Panel to speak in support of reinstating the program, but “the MCPS will not tell me who is on the panel … since it relates to a personnel matter [i.e., whether the physical education teacher is allowed to offer the program to his own students] and we are not supposed to contact them directly,” Panner said....
Here's the Board of Education Ethics Policy.
Here's who is on the Ethics Panel now. These committee members are appointed by the Board of Education at public Board meetings. It's public information!
Peter F. Rose July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2014
Holli Beckerman Jaffe July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2012
Arleas Upton Kea July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2012
Donald G. Zauderer July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2012
Arielle Grill July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2013
Having trouble getting PUBLIC information from our PUBLIC school system?
Let the boss know: Joshua_Starr @ mcpsmd.org
Thank you for posting this. I was unable to find the members posted on the Internet. I gather you were only able to find them by searching the minutes of the Board of Education meetings. It may be public information and I am happy to have it, but it doesn't sound like it was easy to find. Thanks, Morris Panner
ReplyDeleteMr. Panner,when you say, "the MCPS will not tell me," Who exactly was it at MCPS who won't tell you?
ReplyDeleteHi Paula,
ReplyDeleteSuzann King in the BOE Office told me the membership was not public and that I should not contact the members directly due to the fact that this was a personnel matter. She said that the parents could submit letters to the panel, which we did via the BOE staff.
Hi Morris,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the additional information.
