MCPS Superintendent Joshua Starr was the latest to get a bucket of ice water dumped on his head for ALS research and he challenged three high-profile political officials to do the same.

Starr was challenged by Northwest High School Principal Lance Dempsey. The Ice Bucket Challenge has gone viral over the past few months, with celebrities, politicians and likely most people on your Facebook feed posting videos of themselves getting drenched.

The campaign is to bring in donations and raise awareness for ALS and so far has brought in $23 million to the ALS Association.

Starr sat on an outside bench and had school employee union representatives dump the water on his head.

“I’m sure it’s something they’ve dreamed about for the last few years,” Starr said, “because we are partners when it gets hot and when it’s cold.”

Starr challenged Rep. Chris Van Hollen, U.S. Labor Secretary and former County Councilmember Thomas Perez and County Executive Isiah Leggett.

And yes, the water was cold.

“That is cold baby,” Starr proclaims in the video as a slow motion version of the water dump is shown.
