From a reporter: "Chris Barclay is president of the Montgomery County Board of Education in Montgomery County, Md., a 144,000-student district outside Washington, D.C. Once viewed as an elite area for the wealthy, the district has become increasingly diverse and a surge in failing students has forced the district to devise new ways of serving a different population than it has historically served.
“Folks must understand the rules going in, so we’re not making them up as we go along,” he said, sharing his own take on the hallmarks of productive labor/management relations. “In Montgomery County, it’s crucial that our unions are involved every step of the way, not just when we’re negotiating contracts but when we’re creating the goals of the system. It’s got to be a culture that is inclusive of everyone.”""
