PGCPS liaison says workforce, leadership development is a top priority in district strategic plan

Dr. Latron Winston, Alternative Teaching Pathways Liaison for Prince George's County Public Schools, said workforce and leadership development is a central priority in the district’s new strategic plan and outlined investments the system plans to make in staff and leaders.

"In PGCPS, we're investing in our people like never before," Winston said, framing the effort as an investment in staff capacity to improve schools. She added that the district is "building a culture where every staff member and every leader has the tools, the trust, and the opportunities to grow, lead, and excel." The liaison linked staff development directly to student outcomes: "Because when you grow, our students grow. When you lead, our schools become stronger. And when you thrive, our entire system moves forward."

Winston emphasized day-to-day contributions by staff, saying, "Every role matters. Every contribution counts. Every single day, your work brings our vision to life in real and powerful ways." She described the district’s workforce aim as not only supporting employees but "developing talent, strengthening leadership, and building a system where excellence lives in every role, in every school, every day."

Her prepared remarks closed with a collective appeal: "We're writing our next chapter together." The transcript is a brief presentation; no motions, votes, or formal board actions appear in the provided excerpt.
