Glass Proposes County Executive Seat on MCPS School Board

Councilmember Evan Glass published an op-ed on May 20, 2026, calling for a County Executive-appointed member to join the Montgomery County Board of Education. The proposed appointee would participate in budget deliberations and serve as a liaison between the Board and county officials overseeing public finances. The proposal comes as the County Council finalizes the FY2027 budget, which funds MCPS at a record $3.7 billion — a $143.7 million increase over the prior year — while MCPS enrollment has declined by nearly 9,000 students over the past seven years.
