Educate
MGM
Together, we can shape the future.
WHO WE ARE: Educate MGM
Educate MGM is a coalition of citizens, parents, teachers, school personnel, civic and community leaders, business owners and leaders who have come together to ensure the city’s continued educational and economic progress.
​
Education and the economy are tied together. By equipping our students with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive, we can attract more, higher-paying jobs to Montgomery. This, in turn, stimulates economic growth and creates a more prosperous future for all of us.
​
We will see our current business grow as we attract more families to our areas who want Montgomery schools in their lives. New businesses will be created, and corporations will see our city as an attractive location for their workers. A well-educated workforce drives innovation and ensures sustained economic growth over time.
​
With all that economic activity comes an expanded tax base, allowing Montgomery to improve and expand services, leading to a better quality of life for every part of our city.
​
Educate MGM is not just a coalition; it's a community. We are your neighbors, your friends, and your fellow citizens. We are here to advocate for positive change in Montgomery and ensure that all citizens, including you, can live meaningful and prosperous lives in the Capital City. Your support is not just crucial; it's personal. Together, we can shape the future of our educational system and our city.
THE MPS ISSUE
The contracts for Montgomery County Schools' top administrators are coming up for renewal. Dr. Melvin Brown, Superintendent, and Chief Financial Officer Arthur Watts have not just led but transformed our educational landscape. Their exemplary record of achievements is a testament to their dedication and the positive impact they have had on our community. They represent the educational leadership our city needs to excel. Achievement matters. Results matter. Continuity matters.
Under the leadership of Dr. Brown and CFO Watts, our schools have achieved significant milestones. They have balanced budgets, created surpluses, cut waste and fraud, raised standards, increased graduation rates, and made schools safer. These tangible results are a testament to their dedication and the positive impact they have had on our community. It is time we reward them for their work and allow our schools to continue succeeding.
While only the seven Montgomery County School Board members can vote to renew the contracts for Dr. Brown and CFO Watts, your voice and advocacy can make a significant difference. Your involvement is not just crucial; it's powerful. We need your help to convince these members that a vote for Brown and Watts is a vote for better schools and a vote for a better Montgomery. Your voice matters in shaping the future of our educational system.
