WHERE IS THE OVERSIGHT AT MCPS?
By Joan Fidler
Montgomery County has a public school system that is a $3 billion high risk enterprise with 160,000 students and 27,000 staff. What are we as taxpayers and more important, our children getting for this $3+ billion? Where is the oversight? Where are the results? The part time Board of Education has failed miserably. Are there any other Beidleman fiascos hidden in the underbelly of the school system?
Do we really expect 2 FTEs in the County’s IG Office to oversee what appears to be an ungovernable organization? A structural change is the only solution.
BOARD OF ELECTIONS VISITS CCWRC

On April 23, Dr. Gilberto Zelaya, Community Engagement/Public Relations Officer for the Montgomery County Board of Elections, provided the CCWRC with an overview of the MCBOE election and poll worker services. He stressed the importance of recruiting Republican poll workers so that the BOE can maintain a fair election process. The BOE especially needs Republican judges and canvassers.
If you're a registered Republican who can serve - even half a day - please send an email to our Secretary, Lori Jaffe at [email protected] with your contact information. We'll pass it on to the Board of Elections with our thanks and the thanks of a grateful community.
