Most Blacks in Low-Rung School Jobs: "Blacks are well represented in Anne Arundel's public school workforce, but more work as custodians than teachers, according to an internal school-system document that has circulated among Annapolis civil rights leaders."
Blacks make up nearly 23 percent of the county's student body but only 8 percent of the teaching staff. The school system employs 1,360 blacks, but the largest group, -- 455 -- works as custodians. The county has a comparatively large number of black principals and assistant principals. But only one African American, Les Mobray, is part of Interim Superintendent Nancy Mann's executive staff. Mobray is acting director of student discipline and safety.
