Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks (D) announced this week that she will host a public forum for residents to have their say on the search for a new public schools leader to oversee Maryland’s second largest school system.
The forum will start at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Charles Flowers High School in Springdale.
Members of Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates, the firm hired to help with the national search, also will attend.
According to the county executive, an online survey drew more than 5,400 responses suggesting that the new schools leader should be “courageous, innovative, a collaborative leader and an outstanding communicator” with experience in elementary and secondary instruction and administrative leadership.
Those interested in testifying must sign up and can do so here, but must register by 5 p.m. April 25.
