Look: Another Organization Brings Science to Local Schools!! There isn't just one organization that brings Science to Schools. #MAEFMobileLab

Contrary to what Superintendent Monifa McKnight and the Montgomery County Board of Education would have the public believe, there is actually more than one outside organization that brings science curriculum to local schools.  The Maryland Agricultural Education Foundation (MAEF) has a Mobile Lab that visits local schools, including schools in Montgomery County.  

The Maryland Agricultural Education Foundation wasn't permitted to bid on providing science education programs to MCPS schools so we will never know what they might have offered or the cost for their programs.  

An open, transparent procurement process puts all of the options on the table and enables the Board of Education to make the best use of finite education funding.  Will the Montgomery County Board of Education ever decide to put out all procurements for competitive bids?

  1. The STEM is losing its steam
    Like coffee without its cream
    Making clueless kids scream
    In a race to make the team.
    By rushing to STEM the tide
    The world took us for a ride
    Trying to balance the trade
    The whole thing is a charade.
    In order to stem the high tide
    Of the fast moving brain flight
    They came up with the STEM
    Hoping to bring home the ham
    But, once the old genie escapes
    The rest are mere masquerades
    Simple confusions and illusions
    Along with grandeur delusions.
