MCPS has about 19,000+ students receiving special education services.
The Montgomery County Board of Education allowed a secret group of parents, guardians and other parties to interview candidates for superintendent of Montgomery County Public Schools.
When the list of the "Community Panel" was released after the interviews had been concluded, the list showed that parents and guardians of children with special education needs were excluded from participation in the interviews of the four finalists.
The Board of Education only listed one group on their Community Panel that would have encompassed parents/guardians of students with special education needs and claimed that no one from that group was available for the interviews.
Yet, in just 2 seconds searching on the Internet we can point out another group of MCPS parents/guardians with children with special education needs. MCNeeds has been in existence for decades, but was not even included on the Community Panel.
