Rockville High School principal Debra S. Munk will leave be leaving the Rams to train fledgling Montgomery County public school principals.

Her appointment as a "consulting principal" for the Department of Professional Growth System was made during the board of education meeting Tuesday. The job takes effect July 1. MCPS Spokesman Dana Tofig said the school system would be conducting a principal search for Munk's replacement.

A position usually held by veteran principals, a consulting principal works with new and underperforming principals to help improve performance and student outcomes, Tofig said. At the end of the three-year assignment, Tofig said, Munk would probably be placed in another position within the district.

The news comes after reports that Munk withdrew her name from the finalist pool of candidates for a superintendent position in Oregon earlier this year. Munk reportedly told The Gazette that she visited the school system and "did not believe it was a good fit"
