In early July 2023, we reported that government records showed that Superintendent McKnight was still claiming her Prince George's County home as her principal residence even though she was contractually required to relocate to Montgomery County by June 30, 2023.
On August 15, 2023, the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT) changed the status of McKnight's PG County home to "Principal Residence: No" after our story was shared with SDAT officials.
SDAT officials have now revealed that McKnight contacted them on August 30, 2023, claiming that her PG County home was still her principal residence. At her request, SDAT changed the principal residence status back to "YES."

In early July 2023, McKnight's PG County home appeared in the Realtor MLS as "for rent". A few days later, the status changed to "Rented".
As of today, October 17, 2023, the "rented" status has been removed from the MLS.
State officials also confirmed that McKnight is using her PG County address on her driver's license. It's not clear whether she had ever changed her address on her driver's license to her Montgomery County address (if, indeed, she really ever had a Montgomery County address) as required by state law.
It's incredible that she can so blatantly flout the terms of her contract. She is almost daring the Board of Education to fire her (presumably to get a nice payday when forced out).
ReplyDeleteDriver's license address changes can be made on the MVA web site in literally two minutes. There's no need to visit an MVA office or mail any forms. (The new license is sent by USPS mail, so the applicant better really live at the new address.) It's hard to believe that a superintendent with three degrees is not competent enough to notify the MVA of an address change. Everything about this indicates that she faked her move to Montgomery County.
ReplyDeleteIt's montgomery. Incompetence is the primary requisite
DeleteThe fact that McKnight doesn't want to permanently move to MoCo suggests a lack of long-term commitment to our county. Sad.
ReplyDeleteThis superintendent was not wanted by the school district that employs her: all three unions voted “no confidence” in her before she was confirmed and moved from Acting to the permanent superintendent. She had shown extremely poor leadership and judgment. It’s perhaps best that she maintain her PG County home because a lot of people are hoping she will not be in Montgomery County for much longer.
