Due to the coronavirus pandemic- the Maryland Board of Education last week announced that Superintendent Karen Salmon had agreed to stay on an additional year. It appears that the Allegany County’s Board of Education will not be taking that approach- with the application and interview process to select the next local superintendent moving forward. Continuing the search in the midst of a pandemic is concerning for Board member David Bohn as he points to a definite impact on the interview process. Bohn tells WCBC News that given that it’s an election year and the potential for a change in board members- politics is probably playing a part …
Bohn says he has complete confidence in, and has been impressed with the performance of interim superintendent Jeff Blank…
State education guidelines require the board to appoint a a superintendent by July 1.

The 2 amigos are right, replacing Blank right now is dumb

Please stop this insanity. Jeff Blank is a great guy.
Leave it alone.
Focus on much more pressing issues

This is certainly something that can wait for 6 months. Leave it to the BOE to be out of step with, literally, everyone else.

Tammy wants to hand pick Dr. Kalbaugh. She will do whatever she can to push forward. She needs to stop making her “Together We Can” videos/campaigning and do what is right!
