Amid ongoing allegations of strife among members of the Prince George’s County Board of Education, new leaders are gearing up to steer the Maryland school system.
Judy Mickens-Murray has been chosen to serve as chair of the board, while Lolita E. Walker was selected to be vice chair.
“I wish to build sustainment of our student learning progress by engaging all stakeholders, neighborhood by neighborhood. Together, we can assist every student to appreciate learning opportunities and to attain a quality education,” Mickens-Murray said in statement.
Mickens-Murray was appointed to a 4-year term in 2021 by County Executive Angela Alsobrooks.

She also served on the board in 2002, appointed by former County Executive Wayne K. Curry and former Maryland Gov. Parris Glendening.
