The local teachers union, Montgomery County Education Association (MCEA), has responded to the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) Investigative Report regarding MCPS’ use of an emergency procurement to procure Crisis Management and Communication Support Services (Crisis Management). The full statement is below:

“The OIG’s investigation record confirms a persistent pattern of personnel and financial mismanagement at the top of MCPS. While MCPS wasted valuable taxpayer dollars covering up wrongdoing, it diverted time and attention from what should have been its top priority: our students.

This latest revelation comes as no surprise, as MCPS has subjected its students and teachers to an atmosphere of distrust and instability over the past year. Unfortunately, this revelation does little to help the district restore its credibility in the community. New Superintendent Dr. Taylor’s first order of business must be to get his house in order, restore the community’s trust in MCPS leadership, and restore MCPS’ reputation as a great place to learn and work.”
