@KristinMink_ Especially with several potential investigations going on, I hope that someone is making sure the victims are not retraumatized multiple times (per @bnhowe recommendations).

The Education & Culture Committee has received a letter from the Board of Education confirming they have requested the county & state Inspectors General proceed with investigations of MCPS once the fact-finding investigation -- expected to conclude by Sept. 8 -- ends.🧵

@MrsHurleyMedia @MoCoCouncilMD @MCPS @MCPSEspanol @MoCoDHHS ww2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/press/index.as… The question I have is “is this actually being implemented effectively?” (My kids’ observations and experiences would indicate that no, it is not being implemented effectively.

This is excellent! @MoCoCouncilMD @MCPS @MCPSEspanol @MoCoDHHS can institute here too in MoCo 👏🏼 great for students #equity

… circumstances. The level of condescension and suspicion that human beings are treated with in this system is unconscionable. If you disagree with this, I hope that your bed is always too short to stretch out on and your blanket too narrow to wrap around your body.

As an @mcps taxpayer, I would rather 5000 families unfairly sneak their students into public schools based on lies than to have one unhoused or housing insecure family have to deal with the nightmare that is attempting to enroll a child into @mcps under even slightly unusual…

@America7773 @bnhowe @mcpnews This is truly awful. I don’t remember it when it happened but I fear that’s possibly because the crashes start to blur together.

MCPD is responding to several locations for illegal car meet-up events and will be enforcing traffic violations in those areas. #MCPD #MCPNewa

Timeline cleanse.

@bnhowe Yes. This. All of this!

A little girl died in a drag racing crash, there are speed cameras set up, and yet drivers are still racing each other up and down Georgia Ave tonight seemingly without a care in the world. Lord, save us from ourselves.

I haven’t been reading much from this magazine these days, but when I saw it was Hannif Abdurraqib writing about Sinead O’Connor, I had to. I was not disappointed. He wrote a lovely tribute.

@sms11keys @CordellTraffic @mcfrsPIO @WTOPtraffic @MoCoFireWire @ReadyMontgomery @ABC7 Oh no! I hope everyone is safe now.

… language English is to learn, especially as a second (third, fourth,…) language. There is so much power and privilege in growing up speaking English, even if one is “only” monolingual.

I know that it bothers some USians that those from other (mostly European) countries seem to hold USians in disdain for only speaking English but I wish I could convey how much many people in the world wish they could speak English like a native speaker + how hard of a …

Two-way (dual) immersion @mcps has changed the demographics/ real estate values in my neighborhood, displaced neighbors, + pulled needs-based federal funding out of the school. I hope residents in other neighborhoods where MCPS is considering placing TWI have better luck.

@NataliFGonzalez @mcpnews @WheatonMD @MoCoCouncilMD I thought much of Wheaton was a no drone area due to proximity to DC?
