DC Examiner: Berthiaume stands out on MontCo school board

Leah Fabel has a story in today's DC Examiner about the independence exhibited by newly elected MCPS BOE member Laura Berthiaume.

From the article:
The Montgomery County school board has been criticized in recent years by some education advocates for rubber-stamping plans of Superintendent Jerry Weast, but the newest voice at the table seems intent on avoiding that charge.

Laura Berthiaume was elected to the board in November on a platform of a more transparent budget process with more parental input. Last week, she was the sole member to vote against adoption of the schools’ $2.1 billion budget in part because it didn’t jibe with those ideals.
