MCPS Forms New Committee to Create Acronyms for Other Committees

In a press release from the Superintendent this week, MCPS announced the formation of the new MCPS Acronyms and Synergetic Slogans Committee to simplify naming within the district. “It is vital that parents and community partners across the county can effectively communicate with us,” says Superintendent Dr. McKnight, “We have decided that the best way to do this is to create a specialized task force.” The ASS Committee is already up and running, new committees like the General Office of Operational Functions (GOOF) and the Widening Hiring Yields (WHY) Committee. As part of the Superintendent’s Student-Teacher Optimization Project (STOP) a new committee for dealing with the largest crisis in MCPS has been created and its naming was delegated to the ASS committee. Committee chairman Regibald Gregson says “This was a great opportunity for the ASS committee to prove itself and ensure that these important committees are recognizable to the community.” Gregson says that their best Slogan and Acronym Department (SAD) officer Jean Robspierre was assigned to the task. However Gregson was not so sure about his results. The committee named the Committee of Research and Analysis for Controlling Kids (CRACK) was the result of months of planning. A new slogan was announced as well “CRACK, We’re on it.” Some members of MCPS expressed displeasure with the new name, however Nixon was quick to defend it. “This committee really represents what needs to be done in MCPS, and anyone who says otherwise will change their minds, quickly.”. When asked to comment on this dubious threat from one of his committee members, the Silver Splinter was informed that Gregson was on a medical leave from which he was “Not expected to return…” New committee chairman Jean Robspierre said he was eager to continue the important work of creating acronyms.
