PGCPS superintendent evaluation committee moves into closed session

The Prince George's County Board of Educations superintendent evaluation committee voted on Jan. 21, 2026, to close its public meeting and go into a closed session to discuss the superintendent evaluation, Chair Zakiya Goins Antz said.

The committee closed the meeting under the cited provisions of "general provisions article 3-305(b)(1) and (2)," the chair said, explaining that "disclosing information before it is finalized may result in lawsuits and fines." The chair also noted the meeting was being recorded and would be available on the Prince George's County Public Schools YouTube channel.

The chair asked Miss Adelaide to call the roll. After roll call, the chair said there was a quorum. A roll-call vote to close the meeting recorded three affirmative votes: Missus Watkins, Missus Brown and Mister Breaks each voted "Aye," and the chair announced the motion was adopted.

After the vote, the chair instructed board members to exit the public meeting and immediately enter the closed-session meeting via the calendar link on their calendars, warning that attendees would be placed in a waiting room and admitted by board staff.

The action closed the public portion of the superintendent evaluation committee meeting. The public record of the proceedings indicates the committee entered closed session; no further public deliberations or votes were recorded in the provided transcript.
