The County Council welcomed Prince George’s County Public Schools Superintendent Millard House, II, to the Wayne K. Curry Building on Tuesday, July 18th for an introductory “Meet and Greet” lunch meeting to discuss shared concerns and his plans to lead the school system.
Prior to his appointment, Mr. House served as the Superintendent of the Houston Independent School District (HISD) in Houston, Texas, where he supervised 275 schools with 25,000 staff and 200,000 students, and worked with a $2 billion annual budget.
Superintendent House participated in robust dialogue with the Council, answering several questions from each of the members including those focusing on special education, student achievement, and classroom size. Jocelyn Route, the Council’s newly appointed Board of Education member also attended the Meet and Greet event and expressed concern related to violent behavior among school aged children, specifically upon their return to the classroom following COVID-19.
