WPost: ...board took no official action Wednesday on Starr’s future...

Amid reports that Montgomery County Schools Superintendent Joshua P. Starr lacks the support he needs on the county school board to gain reappointment, the board took no official action Wednesday on Starr’s future with Maryland’s largest school district.
Board members met privately for two hours in an executive session that Starr attended Wednesday. Afterward, Board President Patricia O’Neill declined to comment on the discussion, citing confidentiality laws regarding personnel matters.

  2. I doubt he will stay after all of this bad press. Even if he squeaks out a vote of 5 to 3, he will clearly be damaged goods. Hey - maybe he can get a job at Gallup!

    1. He'll stay because no other system is dumb enough to pay 1/4 million dollars to this incompetent fraud.
