Disturbing item in the Inside NOVA article concerning the recent suspension with pay of the Osbourn Principal which the School Board and Administration has refused to explain. It appears that Principal Brenner recently condoned and applauded a “raucous demonstrations” in our High School because she supported the political principles of the raucous demonstrators:
“The organizers of the protest were planning to hold a small gathering, but it morphed into a raucous demonstration by hundreds of students. Yet, rather than punishing its planners, students say Benner personally commended their courage and delivered a heartfelt announcement over the school’s P.A. system to assure immigrant children that they were safe at Osbourn.”
So…It’s ok for creating a possibly unsafe, volatile and potentially hostile environment in our schools if the Principal signs off on it? Is that MCPS’ position? School Board? City Council? Mr. Mayor? And how long will taxpayers continue to pay a rather large salary to someone who doesn’t have to show up for work? Will we then become a magnet for other Principals in the region and the country who want to come to MCPS and get paid but not work? Curious minds, parents, taxpayers, opportunistic lawyers (Are there any other kind of lawyers?) want to know.
