The Superintendent Series (Part 2 with Dr. Monifa McKnight)

The Series continues with Ed’s Not Dead’s examination of the courage and lived experiences of school system leaders and the successes and challenges of public school systems. We’ll be interviewing three courageous leaders who are leading their school systems to better days after three immensely difficult years. This episode features Dr. Monifa McKnight, Superintendent of the Montgomery County Public School System in Maryland – the 15th largest school system in the nation.

Over the last two decades plus Dr. McKnight has served as a classroom teacher, staff development teacher, school based leader and middle school principal, led MCPS’s program to develop school-based leaders, deputy superintendent, and now the first African American female superintendent in one of the premier school systems in the nation.
