The recent conflict between Montgomery County Public School Superintendent Monifa McKnight and the Board of Education comes at a time when the operations of the school system have been the focus of reports by the county’s Office of the Inspector General.
Last month, MCPS Superintendent Monifa McKnight issued a public statement saying that members of the Board of Education had indicated they want her to “step away” from her job and McKnight made clear that she intends to stay in her position.
Next week, two county council committees, the Audit Committee and the Education and Culture Committee, will hold a joint hearing on the findings in the IG’s latest report on the failures at the school system to track and follow up on allegations of employee misconduct.
