As many of you are aware, the state of Maryland requires county school superintendent appointments to be finalized by July 1. Now that we are moving into June, you may be wondering if the search for MCPS’ next superintendent is on track.

The Board is pleased to report that it is. A number of qualified applicants are being interviewed. In addition to interviews, the Board reviews supporting information such as professional references, background checks, and more.

A decision this important must be made thoughtfully. Therefore, if more time is needed beyond the July 1 deadline, an interim superintendent will be appointed.

The Board anticipates an announcement regarding the status of the search soon. We ask the public to continue to be patient and respect candidates’ right to privacy during this critical stage of the process.

In the announcement they made it clear they feel confident about hiring a permanent supe by July 1. But, even in the event that they didn't, also made it clear that a new interim would be named and not that Dr. Felder would continue in her role.

Moderately MoCo took it further and said according to his sources, that Dr. Felder was told not to apply for the permanent position:

Appreciate the post. Not sure why the haters continually rail on our coverage that has proven to be true time and again.

Keep an eye out for updates on this soon

that's easy: you routinely skew your coverage.

Looking forward to the updates on Dr. Felder. I really think she's been a major bust. Which is 2 strikes on this board. I have little confidence their third hire will be better, even though we desperately need it to be.

From what I am hearing, they are doing their due diligence this time and interviewing some quality candidates. Hoping that their pick ends up being good but only time will tell.

Have heard Felder may be looking to go back to NC somewhere but that is more of a rumor than anything at this point so take it with a grain of salt.

Where is the pool of candidates? Dearth of qualified people to lead the largest school district in MD..the job should be co-Supers in addition to an Associate Super.

They literally just eliminated the deputy super position from the budget.

So is Felder out at the end of this month? Will they appoint another interim? I can't imagine they will be ready to hire a permanent superintendent by then.

You say bully. I say standing up for all that is good and making a difference.

Hi,Dr. Felder. You’re doing a terrible job. Please resign.
+1000 Nobody that actually works for MCPS would say she is making a difference. Name ONE thing she has done to improve the system in the past 4 months.

Yes, I expect her to be and there to be a new permanent superintendent by the end of the month.

This process has been ongoing for quite some time and I expect news before the end of the month if not sooner.

Very curious whom they appoint. And hoping they don't make another mistake. I don't exactly trust this Board.

We get it. MoMoCo skews moderately left but that's not far left for you so you're mad.

This board has never done due diligence. They do not know how.

Name something she’s done wrong? As noted she’s been here 4 months. Wasn’t part of the system before starting the job and has been dealing with the budget.

Technically, no one. But in practice, Lance Dempsey was functioning in the role.

Name something she has done wrong? The whole budget fiasco. Letting April Key provide incorrect data and information. Putting out communication with misinformation. Her presentation to principals. She's done a lot wrong in 4 months.
