https://moderatelymoco.com/shift-at-the-top-dr-patrick-murphy-parts-ways-with-mcps-former-deputy-superintendent-no-longer-employed-by-the-district/ Dear Colleagues: I am writing to provide you an update regarding personnel changes in Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS). Dr. Patrick Murphy, deputy superintendent, is no longer employed by the district. I want to thank Dr. Murphy for his service to MCPS and wish him well in his future endeavors. Within the Office of School Support and Well-Being (OSSWB), Dr. Donna Redmond Jones and Dr. Eugenia (Jeanie) Dawson are currently on leave. To minimize any disruptions, Dr. Peter Moran, associate superintendent, and Mr. David Adams, acting associate superintendent, will be providing supervision to the schools and other staff under Dr. Redmond-Jones and Dr. Dawson in the days ahead. They will follow up with additional details tomorrow, October 12, 2023. I recognize that leadership transitions may be challenging, and we will continue to update you on any additional staffing changes. In addition, please do not hesitate to reach out to Mr. Brian Stockton, chief of staff, with any questions at Brian_S_Stockton@mcpsmd.org. Thank you for your commitment to our staff, students, and communities. Sincerely, Monifa B. McKnight Superintendent of Schools |

| McKnight hired Murphy in 2022, and she promoted Jones to associate superintendent in May of this year. |

| Holy crap. So Dr. Murphy and Diane Morris are taking the fall. That's a good start. At least someone is being held accountable. But there's probably more heads that need to roll. |

Diane AND Patrick? Wow! |

| Wait a minute, how the hell are all of these people in the Office of School Support and Well-Being on leave at the same time? |

| Can someone who knows MCPS give us a quick breakdown of what those leaves actually mean? Who were these folks in relation to the matter at hand? |

All these people knew about Beidleman allegations and not one told McKnight? LOL |

| Was Dr Jones escorted out by security?! |

Apparently! Which means she has really poor communication with her team or her team is afraid of telling her the truth. Either way, there's a seriously rotten culture that leads to this much failure at this high of a level. |

Jones is the associate superintendent over Paint Branch, responsible for filling the principal vacancy there. Dawson is the director over Farquhar, was Beidleman's direct supervisor. Both Jones and Dawson report up to Morris, acting chief, who reports to Murphy, deputy superintendent, who reports to McKnight. https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/uploadedFiles/globalContent/MCPS-Organization-FY2020.pdf |
