Welcome Ms. Crowder to City Schools.
When does MSDE board vet/appoint candidates for the vacant seat of Brian Morris City school system board of commissioners. "Oh I forgot" the mayor is on trial for other larger priorities.

I hope that Baltimore City has better luck with hiring effective and learned people to move the system forward....the county has had no such luck. Where are these people coming from?????
