For Immediate Release: Wednesday, February 25, 2026
From the Office of Councilmember Will Jawando
Montgomery County Councilmember Will Jawando, chair of the Education and Culture Committee, will host three public forums to discuss the Fiscal Year 2027 Operating and Capital Budget recommendations for Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) and Montgomery College.
Councilmember Jawando will be joined by MCPS Superintendent Dr. Thomas Taylor and Montgomery College President Dr. Jermaine Williams. These forums offer a space for the community to discuss urgent challenges, including facilities backlogs, safety and security, staffing needs, and support for our most vulnerable students.
“Budgets are moral documents that reflect our priorities,” said Councilmember Jawando. “Fully funding our education system is a necessity for the future of Montgomery County. These forums provide an essential space for residents to share their concerns and hear directly from leadership as we work to ensure every school has the resources it needs to thrive.”
WHO: Montgomery County Councilmember and Chair of the Education and Culture Committee Will Jawando, MCPS Superintendent Dr. Thomas Taylor, and Montgomery College President Dr. Jermaine Williams.
