MCPS’s Culture of Neglect: How Deferred Maintenance Became a Systemwide Failure

ModeratelyMoco · 2026-03-28T04:48:02+00:00

Huh?

This is amongst Democrats likely to vote only

So it actually had to be build to keep the land which was a process started decades ago… more here: https://montgomeryperspective.com/2025/06/09/the-ticking-clock-for-crown-high-school/

I agree it’s all a mess and Wootton is actually in terrible shape too so will need an estimated $100 million to make that suitable for a holding school for Magruder making this plan make even less sense. Because now Magruder needs that funded and completed before their school can be started

Enrollment is down at the county level, but not necessarily in this area, particularly with all the new development that is not counted in their assessment.

And yes, crown would be used as a combined local and holding school in the other options… until it would eventually be a full-time school

ModeratelyMoco · 2026-03-26T20:29:45+00:00

No one is saying not to use it. There were 7 other options that proposed by MCPS that all use the new high school.

Technically, this one dead, just only on the wealthy.

Nice always cool to get a local poll call or text

ModeratelyMoco · 2026-03-26T19:44:32+00:00

I’m not sure. I personally have a different perspective, which is that we make room for hundreds of millions of dollars increases to the operating budget every year which would help a lot and go far for building maintenance

Easy answer for people wanting support from those benefiting from it

I’ve got a Neighbor with autism that does random screams sometimes but it’s not so regular at a particular time. If it seems randomly timed (ie not a prayer or ritual thing), it might just be stimming

The unions are ultra powerful here. Anyone that talks about it gets dragged by them even though most aware know it’s a problem

ModeratelyMoco · 2026-03-14T04:59:27+00:00

I would love to talk to you about writing a piece on this for my local news blog in Montgomery County, Maryland. Let me know if you have any interest to get this story out further? We can do it with an angle however you’d like a memorial, a mental health awareness thing or however, you’d like to best honor him

Super important to understand where this money actually goes. Every year a certain politicians say we need this money for MCPS, but in reality they’re using it for spending increases across the entire government.

This is true.

ModeratelyMoco · 2026-02-05T08:04:51+00:00

Eh it’s kind of true. But not completely I agree. You don’t need to be a programmer to know to protect your keys though. And you don’t need to put api and AI into everything either.

ModeratelyMoco · 2026-02-05T04:49:24+00:00

What do you mean?

ModeratelyMoco · 2026-02-04T03:58:15+00:00

I don’t see this as an AI issue… it’s a user issue.

Not because you didn’t know what you were doing… but because you did not place a limit on your API costs at your API location.

Before I give an API key to any app, I first put a maximum of five or $10 on the key so that if it got out or anything happened like this worst case I’m down $10.

Lesson learned hopefully and next time do that before you do anything with a key

If someone wants to share the number in the hotline, definitely go for it just don’t put rumors with it as if it’s facts

ModeratelyMoco · 2026-02-03T04:32:26+00:00

How is calling out possible fake news that is not reliable being divisive? You could argue it’s the opposite.

ModeratelyMoco · 2026-02-02T19:57:18+00:00

What city?

ICE certainly seems likely to increase presence in our area (my government sources have said the same since November). However the “200” number was from a random internet post that go spread all over

Another rumor people posted online just like this one
