Cold? If you were a BOE member you could be in sunny California!

MCPS Board of Education member Christopher Barclay shown in Twitter picture
from Walter Johnson High School principal. Date of Tweet:  January 25, 2014.

How much is this January "vacation" for these dozen or so MCPS employees and a Board of Education (BOE) member costing taxpayers? 

When exactly will the BOE discuss the purpose and findings of this trip? Based on past MCPS travel, the answer to that question is NEVER!

 Hint: INNOVATION = JUNKET

    Didn't realize they had innovation schools at Fishermans Wharf! What's that? They don't? This was just a sightseeing trip? Oh ok.

    Most likely SAT score enhancement experts.

    I have been an instructional specialist, usually working with kids who are well below grade-level and need extra very-small-group intervention. My experience with it has been wonderful.
