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.
O’Neill said
Starr, who is nearing the end of his first term, has not officially
notified the board about whether he is seeking a new four-year contract
to lead the 154,000-student district. He has until Sunday to do so.
“It’s
part of a process, and we have not crossed the February 1 threshold and
sometime after we do we’ll make an announcement and move forward,”
O’Neill said...
...No additional executive sessions are scheduled before Sunday, suggesting
that the next move falls to Starr, who faces the possibility of asking
to return but lacking the votes...

The BOE will cave and we'll be stuck over paying this unproductive, no account, failure for 4 more years.
ReplyDeleteThat's my expectation, as well. This is all a lot of nothing and in the end Starr will stay. We shall see….And by the way, you forgot to mention pompous and arrogant in your description.
DeleteThank you for the correction. You are absolutely right!
DeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteHe'll stay because no other system is dumb enough to pay 1/4 million dollars to this incompetent fraud.
Deletehow can he stay without a contract?
