A virtual hearing for a Maryland judge to decide on whether to remove Prince George’s County Board of Education Chair Juanita Miller from her position began Monday and will last all week. The hearing that’s presided over by Richard O’Connor, an administrative law judge with the Maryland Office of Administrative Hearings, is scheduled to resume Dec. 19-21. Miller, appointed as chair in January 2021 by County Executive Angela Alsobrooks (D), faces allegations of misconduct in office, willful neglect of duty and incompetence, brought against her by six former and current school board members.
