And these are only the presenters. How many other MCPS attendees were there? There always has to be someone to handle coats and briefcases...
Add in the fact that we lose the time and attention of these employees and this elected official here in Montgomery County. This is the same Board of Education President who didn't have time for Public Comment at the February 8, 2011, Board of Education meeting.
What was the total cost of this excursion? A webinar couldn't have accomplished the same exchange of ideas and information without flying 6 people to Denver for a hotel stay of unknown length and cost?

How can we transform the relationship between labor and management into a strong partnership for improving student learning? On February 15-16, school board presidents, superintendents, and union officials from 150 school districts came to Denver to develop answers.
