Fooled 'em!
Superintendent Weast and staff just LOVE to travel. And the Board of Education members love it too! So don't expect the Board to enforce any cut back of travel, even during a budget crisis!
Maybe the MCPS travelers will send the furloughed county employees a postcard!
Board of Education Vice-President Christopher Barclay is just back from the April 10-12 National School Board's Association conference in Chicago.
Here's a sample of travel for MCPS staff. Please note that these are conferences where MCPS staff is listed as a presenter. We have no idea how many conferences MCPS staff are attending just as participants!
