...McKnight’s annual salary as interim superintendent was $295,000, with her contract ending June 30. Negotiations for her new contract are expected to begin in coming days. One issue that may arise is her place of residence, which is in Prince George’s County. Her son, Ayden, who turned 10 on Tuesday, attends a public school there.

McKnight’s career in the school system included work as a middle school principal, for which she was honored in 2015 as Maryland Principal of the Year.

She later served as director for secondary leadership development programs, then went to Howard County as chief school management and instructional leadership officer before returning to Montgomery County as deputy superintendent in 2019.
