NBC4′s Tracee Wilkins broke the announcement. Her sources say that Kevin Maxwell will be named the new CEO (formerly known as a Superintendent) for the Prince George’s County Public Schools. “Anne Arundel County Superintendent Kevin Maxwell has been named C.E.O. of Prince George’s County Schools. News4′s Prince George’s County Bureau Chief Tracee Wilkins broke the news on Twitter Wednesday afternoon. Maxwell worked as a teacher, principal and educational administrator in Prince George’s for 22 years, before becoming Superintendent of Anne Arundel County Schools in 2006. The Prince George’s County’s superintendent position was renamed “C.E.O.” this year under the auspices of Gov. Martin O’Malley and County Executive Rushern Baker.”
From the Washington Post, “Maxwell, 61, who has served in top administrative positions in Prince George’s and Montgomery counties, will become the eighth schools chief in Prince George’s County in the past 14 years. He comes to Maryland’s second-largest school system as it undergoes a major overhaul, one that limits the role of a reconfigured school board and places more power in the hands of the new school superintendent, now known as the chief executive officer.”
