Things the Board of Education Doesn't Want the Public to See: MCPS Independent Activity Fund Manual @mocoboe @mcps

The Montgomery County Board of Education has a long history of removing information from the MCPS website when they didn't want parents and guardians to know what was going to go on in the organization.  

One example is the removal of the MCPS Procurement Manual. This document came up in the Montgomery County Inspector General's Report that was released yesterday.  The IG knew about the MCPS Procurement Manual, but did the public?  

The MCPS Procurement Manual used to be posted on the MCPS website until the Parents' Coalition started calling out the Board of Education for not following their procedures.  Then, the MCPS Procurement Manual disappeared from the MCPS website.  

Another example is the MCPS Independent Activity Fund (IAF) Manual.  That document is mentioned in numerous Board of Education policies.  But where is the IAF Manual available to the public? It isn't.  But we are going to make public the last copy of this Manual that we saw.  This is an important document now that the Board of Education has decided to start using student fees (IAF money) to fund the MCPS Operating Budget.
