Federation confronts school system over sex abuse cases

Montgomery County Public Schools officials are up in arms following a contentious meeting of the Montgomery County Civic Federation last month, during which audience members angrily confronted Superintendent Jack Smith over MCPS’ handling of lawsuits related to child sex abuse in County schools...

In a written response to Johnson’s MCCF First Vice President Bailey Condrey called Johnson’s claims that Smith’s office was never notified of the updated agenda “verifiably untrue.”
“Furthermore, the email copied Board of Education staff, and each Board of Education member and county councilmembers individually,” Condrey wrote.
While Johnson agreed his office received an email about the association’s resolution concerning child abuse, he said County school officials believed Smith had been invited for the sole purpose of discussing the budget.
Condrey’s letter extended a second invitation for Smith to “meaningfully address our concerns” at the Federation’s Feb. 12 meeting, but according to Johnson, neither Smith nor a representative will be able to attend due to a previously scheduled engagement.

  2. Smith (along with BOE president Mike Durso) was also scheduled to brief the County House delegation last Friday, but he was a no show. This must be how he's earning his $15,000 raise. Thanks to all you taxpayers!

  3. I would argue that a superintendent who cannot discuss serious issues of any nature in his school system, off the top of his head at any moment, should not be superintendent.

  4. Sadly, a lot Moco officials are not what they are.
