In April, the Board of Education voted to delegate land use authority to MCPS Department of Facilities Management Director Seth Adams. The Parents' Coalition highlighted that decision because that decision will have consequences to schools across the county.
Today we see an example of a consequence of the Board of Education delegating their authority.
According to a Tweet from the Albert Einstein High School football team, Seth Adams has made a decision to place classroom trailers on the Einstein High School tennis courts.
If true, obviously that decision wipes out the tennis team or any tennis instruction.
That's of no concern to Seth Adams. He's not an elected official and he's not accountable to anyone. His $172,885 salary is set.
The Board of Education can claim they don't know anything about this decision and ignore complaints from students.
Day 1: Hey @MCPS why are you taking away facilities from our school and community for more portables? Putting portables on tennis courts? Please provide and explanation and cite your evidence as to how this is equitable to our students
