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.
MONTGOMERY
DESERVES BETTER:
Demand a Fair Superintendent Search
The future of Montgomery’s schools is at stake, which will impact our city’s economic and social progress.
​
The selection of a new school superintendent will shape the future of education in Montgomery for years to come. We must demand a process that puts students first, respects public input, and prioritizes strong leadership. The Montgomery County Board of Education is failing our students, parents, and educators by conducting a flawed and closed search for a new superintendent. We deserved a fair, open and honest superintendent search, one dedicated to bringing the best and the brightest candidates in America to lead our public schools.
​
Instead, the Montgomery County School Board is conducting a rushed, closed process that excludes the voices of the very people it impacts most—our community.
​
A Flawed Process That Ignores The Public
Right now, the Board of Education is moving forward with a superintendent search that lacks transparency, public engagement, and a commitment to finding the best candidate. Montgomery school children deserve better. Our schools need a quality leader who understands our community’s unique challenges and has the vision to move our district forward.
​
EducateMGM Wants the Following:
-
Stop the Current Flawed Search
-
Create a Real National Search for a Superior Superintendent
-
Use a Transparent Process With Public Input​
