New report faults Montgomery County Public Schools in handling of employee misconduct

The largest Maryland school district has significant shortcomings in how it handles complaints of employee wrongdoing. That’s what a second investigation into Montgomery County Public Schools found following another probe back in September, which looked into the alleged sexual misconduct by former middle school principal Joel Beidleman. Separately, the school system confirmed that as of Wednesday, Beidleman, who had been placed on leave since the allegations came to light, is no longer employed by the school system.
