Be aware of who is running and Be careful who you vote for.
If you're unsure, it's best to vote apple ballot.

Because that's their job, which we the voters elect them to do.

He left MCPS 2019.
What did he know if any about the allegations against certain MCPS employees before he left in 2019?
"He then began a 25-year tenure with Montgomery County Public Schools as a mathematics teacher. He was promoted and successfully served as principal of three high schools, and ultimately rose to an associate superintendency. As associate superintendent, he and his directors supervised eight high schools, two specialty schools, 15 middle schools, and 44 elementary schools."
DW was very close with all the players in the Beidleman debacle.
And went on as Super for Baltimore County

Dr. Andrew Houlihan. He seems to have thrived: https://www.ucps.k12.nc.us/domain/3751

I seem to recall a candidate who was announced, prematurely, and things blew up, and he had to turn it down. But I’m blanking on who that was, I think it was fairly recent.

Agreed- how long have previous (national not just state/MCPS) searches taken? Even if they started it last year, I imagine the public facing search takes time and hopefully includes lots of vetting. The BOE needs to be super transparent about the search and who they are considering.
Right that is definitely going to happen. And super transparent? Right right of course.
Super transparency makes it harder to attract candidates as they may not want their current employer to know until they are in the final short list.
+1..Leaking a name could cost someone their job. So that's not happening. July 1 coincides with the fiscal year. Dr. Felder may finish out the Dr. McKnight's term. That would make sense...

Yes. Do not expect any sharing of candidates' names until they have decided on the person they want to hire. Unless the candidates themselves disclose it publicly.

The last superintendent search was announced in October 2021, and they hired McKnight in February 2022.
They rushed McKnight in. Can't remember whom on the BOe was rushing to get McKnight in, but remember it felt rushed and fake even then.
