The Prince George’s County school board will hold a special meeting Dec. 15 to possibly choose new leadership.
Embattled Board of Education Chair Juanita Miller read a statement during a board session Thursday saying she may not hold the title much longer. She summarized her remarks based on the popular R&B song “Joy and Pain” by Maze featuring Frankie Beverly.
In a more than three-minute speech, Miller summarized “the joy” of working with public schools CEO Monica Goldson, and boasted about the school system garnering national recognition for its language immersion program, and the Class of 2022 earning $200 million in scholarship awards and acceptances to colleges and universities and other programs.
“However…times of joy are interspersed with times of pain,” said Miller, who added how “misinformation and negative press often overshadow district success stories.”
“I look forward to hearing of the many future successes of this school district. I know it’s heading in the right direction and thank you for the opportunity to serve as the chair,” she said. “I’m not going anywhere, yet.”
