MCPS

Montgomery County Public Schools has launched an independent investigation into how sexual harassment allegations made against a school principal were handled — after a Washington Post investigation found that the principal was promoted despite years of complaints.

According to a Washington Post investigation, the principal was promoted in spite of accusations from multiple staff members over the years. News4’s Darcy Spencer reports.

An MCPS literacy curriculum has turned into a flashpoint among parents as they debate access to materials with LGBTQIA+ themes in elementary schools. News4’s Walter Morris reports.

There’s no word yet on how long the new rules will remain in place. Friday night will be the first test of how effective they are.

Big safety changes are coming to sporting events at Montgomery County schools. A violent brawl at the Gaithersburg High-Northwest High football game last week is triggering tighter security measures for all county schools sporting events. News4’s Mark Segraves explains.

The new restrictions begin Friday and will apply to all sporting events, not just football.
