Dr. Jerry Weast Retirement Announcement
» Dr. Jerry Weast, the Superintendent of Montgomery County Public Schools, announced his plans to retire at the end of the current school year.
Kristin Trible, president of the Montgomery County Council of Parent-Teacher Associations (MCCPTA), reacted today to the announcement by Superintendent Jerry D. Weast that he intends to retire at the end of his current contract, on June 30, 2011:
“Dr. Weast was a visionary who brought years of continuity to MCPS, which allowed reforms to flourish. His leadership will be missed. His greatest accomplishment was making education the priority in Montgomery County. MCCPTA looks forward to the future and to providing essential parent input in the search for a new superintendent.”
