In reply to Dave. What do you think now? Still was a “witch hunt”

In reply to JoAnn Huber Swick. Really? Were you watching the same meeting I was? Ms. Miller and Ms. Causey were the ONLY two to stand up for the health and safety of our kids! (Yes, the student board member was awesome!) All the others should crawl back under the rocks from which they came. Including our esteemed superintendent.

It is incredulous that Ann Miller was even allowed to comment (confuse) this time sensitive ammendment of the current heat policy. Im offended that she wasted meeting time undermining efforts of all involved, past & present. She had no knowledge of bus tiering or heat index times, dismissal times, etc. It was obvious that she had a hidden agenda. Health of the students was of no concern. We have danger of heatstroke, asthma & allergies. The eloquent student, Aislinn Bratt, was prepared with facts, and clearly stated the purpose of ammendment: to advocate for the health and safety of our children. And she accomplished that in a fraction of time that Ms. Miller wasted on negative rhetoric. I won’t believe anything Ms Miller says. I don’t trust her!

In reply to Dave. You're funny. What you wrote has nothing to do with what I wrote. I couldn't care less about Dance- I want a superintendent who has my kids (and all kids) best interests in mind and I do not believe he is doing that. I'm as liberal as they come and I would rather have Ann Miller asking questions than Dance spout on about the benefits of computers for low income kids- it's just not accurate.

In reply to Eric. I guess I should have said read AND understand. She may have read it, but if she thinks a document pertaining to board employees includes herself she has issues.

I see this website is inhabited by the same sorts of people we see on the facebook pages… It’s a shame that people here can’t have an honest discussion without all the petty downvotes and anonymous whining.

Grow up.

In reply to Bcps parent.

That certainly is a very very very specific qualifier.

Which leads me to believe that this entire witch hunt is about Dr. Dance personally, and not really about any issues with the school system.

Maybe we need full disclosures and public records posted for all outside jobs that teachers and administrators have, along with a transcript of any outside talks they give to any outside organizations… Don’t we deserve to know what those employees are doing, especially since they deal with our kids every day! How can we prevent a conflict of interest unless the public has access to the outside activities that teachers are engaged in?

Would someone please submit a request for every teacher’s outside activities… we have a right to know!

In reply to Dave. Actually, my employer requires such disclosures and I submit them yearly. And slides and talks must disclose any potential perceived conflict of interest.

In reply to Dave.

Teachers do not have fiduciary responsibility. The superintendent certainly does.
And most of are anonymous here, including you, Dave…

If a teacher made $275+k/yr and was handling the BCPS budget and spending millions of dollars to put 6 year olds on computers, yes I would. Especially if that same teacher was making extra money speaking for those same companies contracted to supplies computers and programs to support it.
