       So let me understand: Seven years and 18 complaints from staff members were apparently not enough to convince Montgomery County Public Schools that Mr. Beidleman was not a good staff member to keep, never mind promote.

       If I were a staff member in that system, and especially if I had complained, I would be contemplating where else I could work to be listened to and respected.
