Prince Georgeâs County executive blasts school board amid ongoing turmoil
PRINCE GEORGE S COUNTY, Md. (FOX 5 DC) - Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks delivered a scathing statement Monday night, blasting the school board’s elected members amid ongoing turmoil and drama in the district. The acrimony, dysfunction, and unprofessionalism that we have all unfortunately witnessed in public school board meetings, and elsewhere, have been a constant over the last several years, predating my administration, as well as our current CEO and Board Chair, Alsobrooks said in the statement.
Alsobrooks sent out the statement less than a week after an ethics panel recommended that six board members be removed following an investigation.

The Board hasn t had an attorney for months. It approved hiring a lawyer, but the chair selected someone else, surprising some Board members.
“I quite frankly don t need this,” the attorney, Kevin Karpinski said at a Board meeting in June. “I m not interested in being appointed attorney because I don t have time to do it.”
After a discussion with members, it was revealed the attorney did not have a contract with the board.
“It’s readily apparent to me that this board is entirely dysfunctional, and I would suggest to work very hard on getting a fulltime lawyer in here,” Karpinski said.
