Very little of FCPS' fantasy budget helps the children.
FCPS has hired Eric Jensen (Jensen Education) on a sole source basis. Jensen claims expertise in poverty, neuroscience, and music. He holds a bachelor's degree in English and a Ph.D. in "organizational development" from an online school. His experience consists of being a motivational speaker. He supposedly teaches the teachers how to teach better. Sure.
FCPS has hired Menville "Flip" Flippen. Flippen claims to be a psychotherapist, but that's stretching the truth. In any case, such licensure as he does have is inactive. Like Jensen, he's really a motivational speaker. MVHS hired him, and the results clearly speak for themselves.
FCPS decided to build turf fields instead of buying science books. Now that decision was clearly for the children.
FCPS is all about power, money, and locked doors at Gatehouse. The children are just a means to an end. You could try asking McElveen, Moon, and Velkoff, but they tend not to respond to difficult questions.
