NEWS STORIES
CEO search firm familiar with county
Business Gazette - Gaithersburg,MD,USA
Marcy Canavan, a former elected school board member who also served
as board chairwoman for 10 years, criticized the board for taking
this long to find a search firm, an idea she has pushed since
Hornsby's resignation.
"It's amazing they took four months to do it." said Canavan, an
Accokeek resident. "If Howard Burnett leaves, they won't have anybody
in charge. They won't have anyone picked by December and if they do,
they're doing it wrong."
That means the board would have to choose another school leader, Canavan said.
"That means this school system will have a second interim CEO and
this system needs stability." Canavan said.

*** Jerusalem Women Speak: Three Women, Three Faiths, One Shared Vision ***
Tour event in Prince George's County:
- Sunday October 23, 2 pm
- Greenbelt Community Church, Crescent and Hillside Roads, Greenbelt, MD
Three women, a Christian, a Jew, and a Muslim, who are living
the realities
of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will share their experiences and hopes
for a just peace with audiences all over the United States.
They are mothers, daughters, wives and working professionals, all involved
in their own way in resolving the conflict. Each woman lives the hardships
of conflict and the tragedy of occupation in unique ways. Each has also
witnessed the deterioration around them over the past five years of
Israeli-Palestinian violence and the intermittent attempts to rekindle peace
talks. They have made a commitment to address American audiences about
their hopes for the future and what must be done to improve today's
unsteady situation.
These three women will travel together on a national speaking tour for two
weeks in October to address realities of the conflict.
The speakers for the Eleventh National Jerusalem Women Speak Tour:
Sherene Abdulhadi, Muslim Palestinian
Roni Hammerman, Jewish Israeli
Amira Hillal, Christian Palestinian
