The side-by-side comparison is not even close. Montgomery County School Board powered by *Bryan Dozier, Isai Robledo, Tommy Blake, and Anne Evans* voted “Aye” for Dr Roseboro’s Resignation. A vote for “business-as-usual” in a low-performing district whose flagship High School ranks *463 out of 587* by US News World Report.

The motion was made by Bryan Dozier and seconded by Isai Robledo. The motion carried 4-2. The two dissenting votes, were Cindy Taylor and Angela Smith with the majority faction led by Dozier and Robledo driving the outcome.

“Is this your King??”

The side-by-side comparison is not even close.

But this is a simple question for Montgomery County School Board especially *Bryan Dozier, Isai Robledo, Tommy Blake, and Anne Evans* who voted “Aye” for Dr Roseboro’s Resignation. A vote for continuity in a low-performing district whose flagship High School ranks *463 out of 587* by US News World Report.

The motion was made by Bryan Dozier and seconded by Isai Robledo. The motion carried 4-2. The two dissenting votes, were Cindy Taylor and Angela Smith with the majority faction led by Dozier and Robledo driving the outcome.

A science teacher at Montgomery Central High School stood at a public board meeting and blamed Dr. Roseboro. She described "enforcers with clipboards." She said she had been forbidden from teaching the way she knew how. She said teachers were being "shouted at and humiliated." She asked the board to stop the "destructiveness from above." She had already tendered her own resignation.

The board listened. Months later, they removed Dr. Roseboro.

Here is what the board did not tell you.

The state had already sent an independent reviewer to Montgomery Central. That reviewer found no shared instructional framework. No consistent expectations. No reliable feedback system. Worksheets instead of critical thinking. Students off-task. The state's official conclusion, in writing: "Instruction is not at the level necessary to improve academic outcomes."

The structures that teacher called oppressive? The state said they were missing.

The superintendent the board removed? The state was working with her to build them.

The principal resigned. Over 430 people signed a petition to bring him back. And the board has still not told this community what their plan is to fix what the state documented.

These are not separate stories. Read the full article and decide for yourself.

“Who can we find to help clean up this mess… “

This is the aftermath that was gift-wrapped for the next superintendent.

The School Board had a front-row seat to this clown show.

Your local newspaper or Favorite Facebooker won’t report this …So we will let the data tell the story.

From 2021 to 2025, Montgomery Central High School never once reached even 35% proficiency.
That means year after year, the majority of students were not at grade level.

That’s not a student problem.
That’s a leadership problem.

During what many would call the “Ellis Era” (2010–2024), the school consistently ranked near the bottom compared to its peers. Not slightly below average… near the bottom.

And here’s what makes it worse:

In the same district, with the same resources, other schools are producing drastically better outcomes. So the question becomes unavoidable:

Where was the outrage?

Five recent years of data show the same result:

* 23%
* 27%
* 31%
* 33%
* 31%

That’s not progress.
That’s a ceiling.

Five years. Five F’s. Documented. Verified.

At some point, we have to stop shifting the blame downward and start looking upward.

Because leadership sets the standard.
And right now, the standard isn’t working.

Montgomery County’s students deserve better.
