Monica Goldson has led the 131,000-student school system for five years, capping off a three-decade-long stint as a teacher and administrator in Prince George’s County Public Schools.

A transgender teacher in Prince George’s County experienced “pervasive and severe” harassment for years, according to the lawsuit.

The school system was the last in the region to drop its mask mandate in July, and is now the first to bring it back.

School officials are giving all students and staff KN95 masks and distributing at-home tests.

More than 2,000 parents in Montgomery County have signed a petition demanding that all schools remain open for in-person learning.

School officials say they hope rapid testing will be able to keep more students in school.

Teachers’ unions and many parents are on board with the safety precautions, which come only weeks before schools reopen to students.

School officials said the relocation was a compromise for schools as six school buildings undergo reconstruction.

Teachers’ unions and school districts clash over when and how to safely reopen schools for in-person learning.

The union wants the school system to implement safety measures like regular COVID-19 testing and updating ventilation before students return to classrooms.
