He wants staff in schools, not 11 bloated layers of bureaucracy. The principals are happy, from what I can tell.


And he is giving staff sufficient notice to up their games, make other plans...this looks like a good move on his part.

The posted positions start in July, so not mid-year.

They all say they have a July 2025 start date, so does that mean it's a re-org?

So wait… many of these are indeed new positions.

So did he just create a bunch of new high ranking positions that he’s filling and there’s more administrators than before?

Or are there lots of existing positions being eliminated, he’s doing a re-org, and making the current administrators reapply for new jobs?

Are you saying that these are new titles? I don't think that's right. Peggy Pugh is already Chief Academic Officer. I'm sure there is a General Counsel.


Those aren't the new ones. Equity and Development, Student Support, Technology, Talent Management, and School Leadership are new chief titles.

They probably all quit after seeing who won the BoE seats. They don't want to go down with MCEA's ship.

It looks like every single chief position, in addition to the general counsel position, is suddenly posted on the careers section of the MCPS website as of today.
