Montgomery School Board will support State takeover
The Montgomery County School Board will accept the recommendation of a State takeover of the Montgomery school system and will work with the State to correct problems in the district, school board members said during a meeting on Friday.
The board voted unanimously to approve a plan recommended by Montgomery Superintendent Margaret Allen that called for teams of administrators to examine various aspects of MPS over the next two weeks and prepare recommendations on how to correct any issues.
Those recommendations will compiled in a report that will serve as MPS’ response to State Superintendent Michael Sentence.
Earlier this week, Sentance sent a letter to MPS officials detailing his causes for intervening in MPS. Following State law, Sentance has to wait on a response from MPS – that must come within 21 days – before beginning the takeover.
