Through this review we will assess whether MCPS has effective procedures for the receipt, assignment, investigation, referral, resolution, documentation, and retention of allegations of misconduct by its employees. The second engagement is an investigation into all allegations of misconduct by Dr. Beidleman that have been received since July 2023 as well as any previous allegations that were not yet investigated.
In conducting these engagements, we will inspect relevant records, interview pertinent staff, and review applicable laws, regulations, policies, and procedures. Moving forward, my office will work directly with Dr. McKnight and her staff.”

Moore. “We need to provide world-class education in Maryland and we also need to think about offering programs that train students in industries of the future. I believe in experiential learning, and by giving our students opportunity and choice, I know we will unlock enormous potential.”
