Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz said White has been offered a four-year contract.
Kamenetz issued the following statement:
"I am delighted that the Board of Education recognized the importance of creating stability for students, teachers and administrators. Superintendent White has dedicated her life to the Baltimore County Schools, and I look forward to continuing work with her."
White replaces former superintendent S. Dallas Dance. Dance was indicted in January on four counts of perjury by a Baltimore County grand jury for allegedly failing to report nearly $150,000 in outside income on his financial disclosures. The discrepancies are on his 2012, 2013, and 2015 Financial Disclosure Statements that were filed under oath.
