Batterton Heads Maryland Vocational Rehab Affects Morale
In Maryland the appointment of Richard A. Batterton to lead the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation within the Department of Education has sparked morale concerns among top agency officials. The move, viewed by some as a repudiation of affirmative action, follows federal budget cuts and a planned 100 job dismissals as the division, largest in the department, faces a tighter budget and reduced staffing. The change comes amid leadership transitions and ongoing scrutiny of Hornbeck’s knowledge of the division.
