Dr. LaVerne Kimball and Nancy Navarro are no longer employed by Montgomery County Public Schools, MCPS spokesperson Chris Cram confirmed to us via e-mail this afternoon.
October 16, 2023, Dr. LaVerne G. Kimball returned to MCPS to serve as acting chief in the Office of School Support and Well-Being (OSSWB). An email went out on behalf of acting Deputy Superintendent Betty Collins informing executive staff that Dr. Kimball has made the decision to return to her retirement status. Dr. Kimball served MCPS for 37 years and initially retired in 2018 as an associate superintendent of elementary schools.
Former Montgomery County Councilmember Nancy Navarro joined MCPS in November when then-Superintendent Monifa McKnight announced that Nancy Navarro is joining the Montgomery County Public Schools leadership team as Senior Advisor for External Affairs in the Office of the Superintendent.
Navarro’s role was to “focus on advancing the priorities of the Board of Education and the school system’s key priorities by fostering positive relationships with external partners, engaging in outreach to community stakeholders and collaborating with our Community of Practice as they recommend essential corrective actions across the system.”
