Superintendent Search

The search for MCPS’ next superintendent is now firmly in the advertising and recruiting phase. 

• The Board is reviewing the results of the superintendent search survey, along with input gathered in community meetings and focus groups, to create a leadership profile to guide them as they consider candidates.
• You can share your questions about the superintendent search process using this form.

Opportunities for Engagement

The Board of Education reminds the public to review draft updates to Policy IOD and share feedback by May 6. Policy IOD is about educating students who are learning English. The amendments:

• Rename the policy to Policy IOD, Emergent Multilingual Learners, 
• Encourage a positive focus by seeing students as already having valuable language skills while becoming multilingual.
