This is what Montgomery County citizens want from their public officials, right? They want their public officials to hide when discussing how to deal with the public?
After tomorrow's public Board of Education meeting, the BOE will turn off the cameras and slip into a side room (probably with a full buffet) to discuss the "deliberative process regarding community feedback." If the public wants to find out what the BOE discusses they will have to show up in person. It may be 2014, but the BOE is still going to hide whenever they can!
12 hours before the start of the meeting there is no explanation (no attachment to the Agenda) of what this off-camera "work session" seeks to accomplish and no time listed for the start of this off-camera meeting!
