TODAY: Public School Education $$$$ Being Spent in Ocean City, MD #party #nobidVendors #openbar #dinners #oceanview

The Montgomery County Board of Education spends over $60,000 a year on dues and fees for their membership in the Maryland Association of Boards of Education (MABE).  On top of those dues and fees, the Board of Education uses MCPS Operating Budget dollars to attend a MABE annual vacation in Ocean City, Maryland.   That includes registration fees, hotel, meals, travel and perks.
Taxpayers fund this trip, what do we get out of it? Board members come home with no bid contracts from the vendors that they meet off site and out of public view.  Not only does this event divert public school education dollars from classrooms, but taxpayers get zapped with no bid contracts that are obtained without public oversight.  All we get are pictures of the cocktail parties, dinners and trips.

    looks like a hurricane coming at them potentially when they are there or about to leave, will force them to extend their stay until it blows over. I guess the taxpayer paid for trip insurance as well. Am I right?

    They need to clear their minds in order to make sound decisions if the upcoming academic year.
