“I don’t see that becoming public to protect those individuals,” said
Michael Durso, a longtime board member and former principal of
Springbrook High School in Silver Spring. As president, he will help
oversee the board’s search for a new superintendent of Montgomery County
Public Schools.
“That’s been a bit of a bone of contention in the past, when the
public felt we were being too secretive or really weren’t transparent,”
Durso acknowledged Thursday. But he also said keeping the finalists for the job confidential is important to attract candidates who may already be superintendents in other jurisdictions. Finalists in recent superintendent searches in Boston and Palm Beach,
Florida, were revealed to the public for feedback before those local
school boards made their decisions.
