Business Charter School Previously Rejected by County Gets New Life


A charter school that previously was rejected by the Montgomery County Board of Education received new life Thursday when BOE members voted to move forward.

Following directions from the Maryland Board of Education, Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) agreed to work with M.B.E.F. College and Career Academies, Inc. to see if it can open in the county for the 2025-26 school year.

After the BOE’s second denial of the proposed school’s plans this summer, charter school officials appealed to the state.

On Oct. 25, the state BOE directed MCPS to grant approval with contingencies that dealt with both finances and facilities planning.

M.B.E.F. wants to open a school in Gaithersburg with a curriculum based on business learning. It would be for middle and high school students...
