Superintendent Jack R. Smith's Contract Has Not Actually Been Renewed

Contrary to what was reported on a Bethesda blog, the Board of Education has not actually renewed Superintendent Jack R. Smith's contract.

What the Montgomery County Board of Education actually did on February 10, 2020, was take a vote to renew his contract pending negotiation of mutually agreeable terms.  There is no document to sign at this time.

The actual Resolution passed by the Board of Education said that the contract would be renewed:

"...pending mutual agreement and

 approval of the contract terms."

At this time there is no agreement between the parties as to the terms of a new contract.  First the parties have to agree to the new terms, and then the actual contract has to come back before the Board of Education for a vote.
