ASASP statement regarding resignation of Dr. Kevin Maxwell (5/2/18)
Today brings a new hope for the entire Prince George’s County community. Kevin Maxwell, the Chief Executive Officer of the County school district has expressed his intent on resigning his position effective June 30, 2018. This Association wishes to thank Dr. Maxwell for placing the interests of the children above his own, and we wish him well as he transitions out of office. These have been trying times for all of us who work and live in this County. This County has been viewed as being on the path towards self-annihilation, as a result of the negative perception, brought on, in a large part, by the many issues/problems surrounding the school system. The time was right for change, and Dr. Maxwell’s decision, was the right step towards a new beginning…towards a new reality.
We ask those charged with deciding the pathway for this new journey, that they begin by promising to restore back, to the people, their right for a fully elected Board of Education; representative of the many communities serving the children of this county. We ask that they commit to demanding an open and transparent transition as the school district seeks its next Chief Executive Officer/Superintendent. These are truly the times that test the character of those who have been chosen to lead this County; as well as those who wish to lead! Finger pointing, back-biting, snobbery and one-upmanship, should be considered political relics, to be set aside as we restore the reputation of this County; which for far too long has been viewed as “that other place” outside of Washington, D.C.
The Association of Supervisory and Administrative School Personnel (ASASP) is asking that we come together, at his time, for the children…for the communities…and for the need to restore the health and the vitality of this place we call Prince George’s County!

Members of ASASP Board of Directors & Staff Attended Rally
The Labor Wire: Feb. 26, 2018
Working people rallied in cities across the country over the weekend to call for an end to policies that attack union members and rig the economy and political system against working families, as the Supreme Court today begins hearing arguments in a case that threatens to overturn a decades-old precedent and undercut public workers.
“The Janus case is nothing but a bald attempt by rich CEOs to use the highest court in the land to cut down our unions,” tweeted AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka.
