Montgomery school board apologizes for mishandling misconduct complaints
...School board member Lynne Harris (At Large) asked Ormsby if she was creating processes for how to review “collateral complaints” — which are additional allegations about an employee shared by witnesses during an investigation. Harris explained that the school system had “no plan” for investigating those types of allegations, unless a witness separately filed their own complaint.
“What I’ve communicated very clearly and consistently is that all complaints will be reviewed and/or investigated,” Ormsby answered. “The investigation doesn’t end with that initial complaint.”
The school system also plans to refine its job descriptions for people hired in the Department of Compliance and Investigations. Harris said clarifying the qualifications and expectations for hires was a necessary move.
“Human resources is a profession. Recruiting is a profession. Investigating complaints is a profession,” she said. “We have not put professionals in those role.”..
We have not put professionals in those roles
ReplyDeleteI am very serious and I certainly don't cajole
However, when it comes to the actual payroll
The some of the parts is greater than the whole.
Agree and a bully to many staff members Dana Edwards hopefully will not return. I do not know what has happened. I know that when a superintendent is appointed without experience depth leadership acumen and knowledge, that’s a problem. Then Dr. McKnight hired her friends without district leadership experience so this was just disaster which disrupted the education of students and destroyed the culture and climate of MCPS.
DeleteAnd Dana Edwards did not have a background nor experiences in Human Resources. Shameful how she treated staff members in that office. Disgusting
