What do Directors overseeing the various schools/clusters do - Principals' boss?

Contact them if Principal is unwilling to reply to parent or advocate for students?

Yes, principal's boss. But good luck getting them to make a different decision -- they are there to protect the principals.

Correct. I thought Directors were a check on the principal but they aren’t. They’re more like life coaches and advisors for the principal but they aren’t serious decision makers, nor will they contradict their principal to your point.

Add to the bloated bureaucracy of MCPS, do nothing to help students and collect a huge salary. Cut all these positions.

They aren't bosses.

They just increased the number of director positions from 9 to 13 effective this year.

Even more concerning, many directors are principals who failed at leading their schools and end up getting promoted to these positions instead of getting pushed out of the system for performance failure as they would if they worked in the private sector.

Who failed at leading their schools, and what standard determines that?

Just take a look at the director and the last school they were principal of…their track record is often mediocre or even abysmal (for example, Kennedy HS, Loiederman MS, Shady Grove MS).

Yes. The former Whitman principal was just promoted to director, for example. Did he fail?

If you work in MCPS, ask around. People talk. If you’re a parent, ask around. People talk.

You have a lot of homework and learning to do about how MCPS works if you’re naively asking these kinds of questions. Which is fine, but the problem isn’t with what I’m saying. It’s your lack of knowledge.

If you're making broad generalizations without backing them up, the problem is with what you're saying.
