"Dr. Monique Felder Set to Lead as Interim Superintendent of MCPS"
The Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) Board of Education plans to appoint Monique Felder, a former MCPS administrator and recent superintendent of a North Carolina school district, as interim superintendent following the departure of former superintendent Monifa McKnight. Felder's appointment comes amid scrutiny over her transparency in accepting payments from an educational consultancy that worked with her previous school district in Tennessee. The board will vote on her appointment during a meeting on Tuesday, and despite past investigation into her financial disclosure reporting, the board expressed confidence in Felder's leadership and ability to guide MCPS through the transition.
