Montgomery, Alabama
The Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce has released a statement regarding the resignation of Montgomery Public Schools Supt. Dr. Melvin Brown.“The news that Dr. Melvin Brown has resigned is a serious blow, particularly to the MPS students, who are the most critical stakeholders here. What we, as a community and a Board of Education, do next will be a defining moment.
“Under Dr. Brown’s leadership, we have made extraordinary progress. Dr. Melvin Brown made solid, hard decisions to get our system on track and put our students first, building a team of high-capacity, high-performing professionals to lead us forward. His departure is far too soon, but his impact will be lasting as a foundation for even greater progress.
“Certainly, the Board of Education does not want to be in the business of making day-to-day decisions in our school system. In fact, that is one component of what led MPS into intervention in 2017. The Chamber will do everything in its power to convene leadership in support of MPS and the Board’s task ahead.
The Chamber is calling on its members to attend today’s meeting of the Montgomery county school board to ask why members didn’t work to keep him.
