‘It’s going to be a big job’: Community, education leaders on priorities for Montgomery County’s next superintendent

June 25, 2024
Captured in a metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia primary school, this photograph depicts a typical classroom scene, where an audience of school children were seated on the floor before a teacher at the front of the room, who was reading an illustrated storybook, during one of the scheduled classroom sessions. Assisting the instructor were two female students to her left, and a male student on her right, who was holding up the book, while the seated classmates were raising their hands to answer questions related to the story just read.

David Stein, a veteran math teacher at Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, Maryland, is the president-elect of the Montgomery County Education Association and said incoming school superintendent Thomas Taylor has “a big job” ahead of him. Taylor’s first task should include tackling a “trust deficit,” said Stein, explaining that relations between former leadership at the central office of Montgomery County Public Schools, teachers and the public have been strained over the past year.
