Governance and Partnership with Board of Education

A key priority is to ensure positive relations between the Prince George’s County Board of Education and my Administration. We are a team, equally committed to the success of our students and the future of our school system. It is our duty to families and residents to work together in ways that enhance and improve our governance structures for decision-making, responsiveness and mutual support. 

Trust and collaboration are essential as we seek to provide a transformative educational experience anchored by excellence in equity.

In the first 90 days, we will:

• Jointly facilitate a Board of Education retreat to review roles, responsibilities, policies and priorities
• Hold one-on-one introductory meetings with Board members.
• Establish regular meetings and communication protocols between the Board and Administration.
• Create opportunities for joint community engagement.
• Collaborate with the Board on the formal evaluation process, procedures, timelines and goals
• Review roles and responsibilities among Cabinet that prioritizes support for students and school-based staff
