Montgomery County Board of Education District 3 used to be held for a long time by Pat O’Neill, who died in fall 2021. The Board chose education consultant Scott Joftus to replace her. Joftus is now running to keep his seat and Julie Yang, a former MCSPS career and college counselor, is running against him. Sunil Dasgupta talks with Joftus (timestamp 4:11) about how he will bring to bear his education consulting experience, and with Yang (31:22) about student mental health. Yang’s interview is truncated because of lost audio. Music for this episode comes from DC-based singer-songwriter Emily Hall.
