She resigned at the end of the school year.


The Key principal that resigned was really liked by parents, and generally considered to be professional and effective. It seemed like she did not have a good relationship with APS based on how they pinned the response to the safety incident on her (when the issue was that she followed the district's poorly thought out policies). She also did a good job implementing a new program that Duran suggested be cut until parents complained because roll-out went well at Key. It's a loss for APS and another example of poor leadership at Syphax.

I found parent sentiment was really mixed. Parents with kids without issues were happy, but there are big issues with bullying and behavior that need to be addressed (beyond the bathroom incident last year). There are also big issues with the school not adopting CKLA and tons of teacher absences.

There are huge issues with bullying and SPED kids not getting what they need. I don't know if bringing the old AP back is the solution. Sounds like more of the same.

Similar sentiments that Ashlawn, where kids with little to no issues have happy families and kids with SPED services or those with “behavioral issues” unhappy with administration.

At Key? I think “huge issues” is an exaggeration, and I have a kid with an IEP.

As to the second part, Lee was only AP there for about a year, two APs ago.

That is often the case — at any school.

they can do better. We switched APS ES with 2 SN kids and the second school was *chef's kiss*. Syphax needs to demand better. In the name of equity, Dr. D!

It’s really not an exaggeration.
