Montgomery Virtual Academy worked b/c students had the same amount of live instruction & peer engagement, as in-person kids. 2 hours (!!) of synchronous instruction per class/week for middle schoolers is NOT parity or a recipe for success. MCPS Thomas Taylor Moco BOE

Big news: MCPS opened BLP to all students. But 2 elem. spots were pulled for another program - only 3 teachers left for K–5. Not enough. When will we stop shortchanging these kids to fund other priorities? MCPS Thomas Taylor Will Jawando

A waste of food. A waste of lives. A waste of American resources and power. We must find a way to buy and distribute this food on behalf of the American people…I will pay for it personally. @realdonaldtrump Marco Rubio what happened to your Christian faith? "For I was hungry

The MoCoShow (MCS) Prove it. This is a tale as old as time that has been told over and over. @mcps Moco BOE have not and do not take background checks seriously and do not notify parents and students of issues. @pcmc1 has the receipts.

Colin Kaepernick’s speaking fees: $150k–$299k. MCPS won’t disclose what they paid. They also quietly signed a contract with his AI company under the $150k board approval threshold. Transparency? Zero.

There’s over a million COVID cases per day right now. PER DAY!!! Getting the COVID vaccine is going to be much more difficult. Disabled people are begging you to wear a mask. Trust me, it’s for everyone’s benefit, as well as your own. WEAR. A. MASK.

You can’t fund flashy programs while ignoring crumbling classrooms. First things first: Fix the HVAC. Fix the roofs. Fix the plumbing.
