MCPS Mom Endorses MCPS Dad's Proposal to State Board of Education on Concussions
Kristen Sheely, mother of Derek Sheely and former MCPS mom and employee, endorses MCPS parent Tom Hearn's proposal to the Maryland State Board of Education to improve concussion safety of Maryland school athletes.
The Maryland State Board of Education will respond to Mr. Hearn's request at their July 24, 2012 meeting.
The pattern persists. MCPS talks about how empathetic they are towards families of disabled children and how we should all agree to disagree. Yet, when the process continues, a scotched earth style erupts. The meanness appears. Unethical, unprofessional, and to be honest, any argument to rule out special services occurs. The transcripts of a due process hearing, rarely seen by the public, in this case documents such activities. The latest allegation of MCPS using a sibling’s journal is an intrusion of the family’s confidential communication with MCPS. What an intrusion on their privacy! Who wouldn’t be upset. MCPS needs to review these issues!! Corrections are necessary, and this child needs to be assisted without any hidden agenda to close the door on certain services.
