A school principal in Maryland has been accused of engaging in misconduct and violating Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) sexual harassment and workplace bullying policies, a months-long investigation by the Montgomery County Maryland Office of the Inspector General (OIG) concluded.
Montgomery County Inspector General Megan Davey Limarzi said in a report released on Nov. 29 that witnesses described Joel Beidleman as “a divisive figure” while he served as the principal of Farquhar Middle School in Olney.
