As a BCPS parent, I grew frustrated by the lack of responsiveness of the school system to stakeholders. Consistently, our concerns fall on deaf ears. I joined the Northeast Advisory to champion the concerns of parents, teachers, and students to the Board.
The Board must hold itself accountable to the stakeholders we represent. All concerns must be handled openly and fairly. The Board must hold BCPS responsible for making this information publicly available and for delivering solutions.
Board and BCPS work must be transparent and driven by data. This is especially critical for budget planning. Decisions made in secrecy serve the decision makers - not those they represent.
