“Every time one of these scandals erupts, there are no checks and balances where the school board can check the CEO.”

Union leaders for teachers working in the Prince George’s County Public Schools system launch a job action this morning, demanding that county administrators make more transparent their process for administering raises and disciplining teachers. Organizers of the two-week protest are encouraging teachers to only perform the work they’re contractually obligated to do—that is, no working overtime, and no volunteering on campus. The effort comes after WUSA9 broke news last week that the CEO of PG County Schools, Kevin Maxwell, approved 10 to 12 percent wage hikes for some human resources officers, while teachers were denied a four percent salary increase last month.
