The board voted unanimously Saturday morning to approve the selection of Theresa R. Alban, chief operating officer of Howard County Public Schools. Board member Katie Groth participated in the meeting by phone.
Alban's contract has not been finalized, so information about her salary and benefits are not yet available, according to Jamie Cannon, staff attorney for the school system.
Alban has a wealth of diverse classroom experience, having worked with gifted and talented, elementary school and special education students in Baltimore County Public Schools. She has also held administrative positions in Baltimore County and Montgomery County public schools.
Board member April Miller said she looked back over the list of qualifications and criteria compiled through a comprehensive public and staff meeting process, and said everyone agreed it would be tough to find a candidate who fulfilled every requirement on the superintendent wish list.
In Alban, Miller said she was confident the board found a leader who possessed all of the most important qualifications desired by the community.
Alban was joined by family members, including her husband, Vernon, and son Michael and his fianc?e, Jenna Gambino, a Linganore High School graduate. To read more:
