It's Sunshine Week!

 

This week is Sunshine Week. Parents' Coalition members work hard all year long to shine a light on MCPS, to make sure our tax dollars, whether federal, state, or local, are well spent, and that the Board of Education which runs our public schools, and MCPS staff, are operating in a transparent manner so that our children get the very best public education possible. Our annual MCPS budget is close to $3billion, pretty much half of our entire county budget. We think it is critical that we know how the money is spent and administered on behalf of parents and children.

Here are some things we have been tracking:

The After Action Report from the tragic Magruder School shooting. Dr. McKnight assured our state legislators that an After Action Report would be completed. We still have not seen it.

Our ESSER funds. How are they being spent? We don't know.

Care to add to this list? Please add to the comments. Because sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants.
