IB as in International Baccalaureate or in-boundary only?

Any student can get in through the lottery. I think poster means International Baccalaureate

Any student can get in through the lottery if there is space. (After the first couple of years, if then, there won’t be slots available.)

No, just crowding.

Hardy is very diverse; I’m not sure how you described it as “segregated.”

But the current 6th Grade is 200 students, so that is in the ballpark of what will fit in Macarthur.

Really hoping for the school leader to be a person of color!

Is that because you want all four of the middle and high schools principals in the current Jackson-Reed feeder system to be non-white?

Is there something wrong with that? You do know non-white individuals can lead diverse school communities, right?

Dp: There’s nothing wrong with that. Is there something wrong with one or more being white?

What I want is the most capable manager and the best leader. I hope the decision-makers didn’t compromise one iota on skills, talent, or experience to favor any sort of skin color or ethnicity.

The point is that 3 of the 4 already have Black principals. Why does anyone care whether the principal of Macarthur is a person of color or not?

DCPS had said they wanted to have a principal named by EdFest, which was today. Anyone heard anything?

[Anonymous]

EdFest had technical challenges. I was not able to login. I would like to know if the leader was there also.

The new leader is coming from Stanton ES in southeast. Hope we will get an opportunity to meet him soon.

There is a lot of info out there about the power of students of color seeing themselves reflected in teachers and school leadership. It can have an outsized positive impact.

Do not think its necessarily about skin color. As long as he is capable and able to handle the demands of high school, I am ok. His bio does not mention experience with secondary.

PhD from Walden University is kind of a red flag. They are a pretty slimy for-profit degree mill.
