MCPS has launched a webpage featuring updates on Corrective Actions undertaken by the district as a result of the investigative work of the Montgomery County Office of the Inspector General, the Communities of Practice workgroup, and the policy work of the Board of Education.
This webpage features the findings and recommendations from the Inspector General investigations, as well as the district’s responsive actions, including an indication of the status of that work.
According to MCPS, “The Corrective Actions Updates reflect MCPS’ dedication to addressing any instances of misconduct swiftly and effectively. It is essential to cultivate a workplace and school environment that is free from bullying, harassment and sexual misconduct.
By implementing robust policies, providing ongoing training and fostering a culture of accountability, we strive to create a workplace and school atmosphere where everyone feels respected, valued, and safe.”
In addition, on April 29, MCPS announced that Jessica Boone, J.D., and James Koutsos will spearhead the reform efforts in the MCPS Department of Compliance and Investigations (DCI).
