School Board ‘Taking Another Look’ Into Sharing More From Redacted Report

The school board is “taking another look” into sharing more from a redacted report that investigates the promotion of a former school principal.

“We have also heard your request for a better understanding of the Jackson Lewis findings, and we are taking another look at the report to see if there are any areas in which we could redact less,” Board of Education President Karla Silvestre said during a meeting Tuesday.

County Council President Andrew Friedson has said councilmembers want to see the unredacted report...

@mococouncilmd President Friedson Waits Until 5 Days Before Council Hearing to Ask (NOT SUBPOENA) Unredacted Jackson Lewis Report from @mocoboe

Attention Montgomery County Council President Andrew Friedson:

The Parents' Coalition wishes to advise you that Montgomery County Public Schools and the Montgomery County Board of Education can never respond to a public information act request in under 30 days.  

If the Montgomery County Council wanted a copy of a document prior to their February 8, 2024, meeting they would have had to request it by at least December 1, 2023, to allow for MCPS and Board of Education attorneys (in house and outside) to ask for an extension of time, review the request, shuffle the document around for weeks and eventually produce another redacted version of the document.  

However, if the Montgomery County Council ACTUALLY wanted a copy of this document they could just subpoena it 

But we realize that you don't really want to make an unredacted copy of the Jackson Lewis LLC report public so the February 2, 2024, letter shown below will be a nice touch to tell the public you "tried" with absolutely no chance of MCPS actually producing an unredacted copy of the letter by February 8th. 

After February 8th, way after, the Board of Education can quietly slip the County Council a less redacted version of the Jackson Lewis Report without any public notice.   

Well played.

Unredacted report recommends Baltimore City Schools 'eliminate' grade changing

It’s only two sentences, but says a lot. After nearly two years, following a judge’s orders, Baltimore City Public Schools has finally un-redacted portions of an internal grade changing investigation it didn’t want the public to read.
“What it tells me is that what you uncovered, what Project Baltimore uncovered, the rounding up of grades is something that has been going on for a while and they didn’t want you or anyone else to get into the details of it,” said Clarence Mitchell IV, or C4, who hosts one of the region’s most listened to radio talk shows.
Mitchell is a former state Senator and grandson of a civil rights icon. Baltimore’s courthouse has his name on it. And he’s been paying close attention to Fox45’s public records lawsuit against City Schools.
“It makes me mad. It should make all of us mad,” said Mitchell...
