Montgomery Public Schools Superintendent Melvin Brown talked about the achievements and challenges that MPS has had over the past year.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Montgomery Public Schools Superintendent Melvin Brown addressed parents and community members in a State of the Schools speech Tuesday night at Park Crossing High School.“In the past year, our students have shown minor growth on standardized tests. We don’t talk about that,” Brown said. “But we know we have a great deal of work to do in this arena, and we accept that challenge.”
The superintendent mentioned there are still some challenges that need to be addressed, emphasizing student attendance.The district has also faced a steep enrollment decline since 2016, leaving some schools with not many students on their rosters. The superintendent hinted there may be some consolidations and closings discussed in the future.
“If we create programs in the best way to recruit kids to want to come to the district, then they will come. But those programs have to exist for all kids,” Brown said.
