Montgomery Public Schools superintendent Melvin J. Brown announced Saturday that he will be resigning at the end of October.
“I am grateful for the support and collaboration of the Board, the staff, the students, and the community,” Brown said in a statement Saturday. “As I move on to new challenges, I carry with me the lessons and experiences gained here, and I look forward to seeing the continued success of Montgomery Public Schools. I will work as closely as the district wishes to forge a seamless transition enabling the district to maintain the momentum that has been established.”
Brown noted that the news of his resignation came initially from a third party without his consent.
Montgomery County Board of Education Chair Brenda Coleman said Brown’s impact will be missed.
“Dr. Brown has done an outstanding job for the Montgomery Public School system,” Coleman said. “He is one of the best superintendents that I have ever had the opportunity to work with and he has moved this district forward in a swift and positive manner. It is imperative that my fellow board members and I come together to put forth a strategy that will continue the work Dr. Brown has started. We have an obligation to our students, families, and community to do such.”
