Prince George's schools shake up staff as system reels from abuse allegations

The chief executive of the Prince George’s County school system has asked his top aide to step down, part of the fallout of an ongoing furor over child abuse in the Head Start program.

Kevin M. Maxwell requested the resignation of George H. Margolies — his chief of staff and longtime ally — on Wednesday. At a school board meeting Thursday, Maxwell said the departure was prompted by an email Margolies wrote, which some interpreted as the administration trying to keep the county school board from publicly discussing concerns about Head Start.
