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.
Oh please, how hypocritical can you get. It was Council President Berliner who seems to have made secret deals in favor of the Artificial Turf now being installed across the county. It was Mr. Berliner, don't forget, who cut the video feed on the council discussion on artificial turf and the "report" by the AT "work group" We still don't know if this "group" ever met.
ReplyDeletePaula,
ReplyDeleteAnd don't forget the sale of the former Peary HS to the Berman Hebrew Academy. Councilmember Berliner insisted that it was Senator Cardin who asked him to vote in favor of the sale.
