Breaking News: Inspector General Investigation of MCPS Promethean Purchase "In Progress"

2PM UPDATE:  MEETING CANCELLED

Today, at 2 PM, the Montgomery County Inspector General will update the Montgomery County Council on the work of that office.

Included in the report is news that the Inspector General's investigation of the MCPS purchase of Promethean Boards last year is "in progress".

As we reported last year, the Board of Education voted to purchase almost $9 million worth of Promethean Boards through a contract that did not cover the purchase of Promethean Boards in bulk.  The fact that the contract didn't cover the purchase was of no interest to the Montgomery County Board of Education, but maybe the Montgomery County Inspector General will find something worth noting in this transaction.
