MCEA Rally: Staff at Kemp Mill ES have been dismayed to see a bullying and ineffective principal turn their school into a place with one of the worst school climates in the county.

MCEA Rally Announcement:

Join parents, community members, and the Montgomery County Education Association at a rally at the MCPS Central Office to demand justice for the students and families at Kemp Mill Elementary School.

Kemp Mill has one of the highest percentages of children from low-income families in Montgomery County. It needs and deserves strong leadership. But for the past three years, educators there have been dismayed to see a bullying and ineffective principal turn their school into a place with one of the worst school climates in the county. 

The dedicated educators, paraeducators, and building service staff at Kemp Mill work every day to provide their underserved student population with the quality school community they deserve. After numerous attempts to raise these urgent concerns with the school district, we still have had no adequate response from MCPS. The Montgomery County educators' union will not stand idly by as MCPS does a terrible disservice to one of our high needs schools.

School’s out, but we’re just getting started! An injury to one is an injury to all, and only by coming together can we hold MCPS accountable to students, parents, and fellow educators. 

Superintendent Jack Smith continually says that “all means all,” but he needs to put action behind his words. Our most vulnerable students are suffering from his neglect. We must stand together to demand equity now. Join us at the rally to fight for the change that’s needed at Kemp Mill ES to improve the lives of our kids and our colleagues!
