A speaker identifying themself as the governor opened the meeting on Aug. 12 with a message thanking teachers, educators and staff at Montgomery County Public Schools for their work as the school year begins. "You may not wear capes, but make no mistake, you are heroes," the governor said, and added that they had previously worked as a teacher.
The remarks, delivered at the start of the Montgomery County Board of Education meeting, urged staff to "dream bigger, be kinder, and work harder," and said the state stands behind the school system. "From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Let's make this a great school year," the governor said.
After the governor's remarks, an unidentified board member called the meeting to order, confirmed the date as Aug. 12, 2025, and the start time as 5 p.m. The speaker noted Board President Missus Smith was out of town taking her daughter to college and extended well wishes to her and other seniors moving on to the next phase of life. The host then said Reverend Marcus Plump of New Liberty Worship Center would be joining the meeting for an invocation or opening prayer.
No motions, votes or formal board actions were recorded in the provided transcript excerpt. The meeting proceeded from opening remarks into its scheduled agenda items following the invocation.
