13:19, that's great. So you're saying that all the candidates had experience leading urban schools and were able to show that they successfully led those schools.?(That might be improved test scores, extra-curricular offerings, arts/language offerings or improving school climate.)
I know the Jefferson panel was pleased with their choice, but I thought her resume was thin and she was at a school that posted abysmal test scores. I wouldn't call that a stellar candidate. Just because someone can make it through the paneling process with style, it doesn't mean they have the chops to lead an urban school. |

These candidates had the chops and where-with all to lead urban schools by-far. I too participated on the Jefferson panel and found the application to be thin. But I do know that what we are given is an abbreviated version of what a candidate actually submits. So, I NEVER depend on the candidate's application when provided because I know it is not what it is intended to be.
I have asked DCPS to consider incorporating more of the actual candidates package and they always throw the blame on OSSE. Which, again is bogus. Also, the questions formulated by the Eliot-Hine group was specifically for that school and with the help of DCPS it was such a win/win situation. |

Yeah. In a gangbusters economy like this one, you'd be scraping the bottom of the barrel now, right? Because there's only about 10 - 15% (higher number much more likely because after 12 months you fall off the rolls) unemployment. EVERYONE who is qualified for a job is well-employed (not under-employed) and well-compensated right now. /sarcasm This is quite obvious to anyone who is economically literate. Oh wait, maybe that does not describe you... |

17:36, You must have just risen-up from your drunken stupor? The statement was made and even has been confirmed through DCPS own reports. That when principal searches are held doing the late spring and early summer that the applicant pool is slightly less than expected.
Literally, it all sense of the words; the early bird catches the worm. Go back to your bottle of rye. Sweetie |

DCPS has selected Tynika Young as the new Principal for Eliot-Hine. She served as an assistant Principal at Columbia Heights Education Campus.
I sat on the panel, she was the first person we interviewed and definitely set the tone. It will be interesting to see how the Eliot-Hine family will adjust, because Ms. Young will have to follow Mr. Jackson. Hopefully, she will have a successful first 18-days at the helm of Eliot-Hine because that will determine what the rest of the 180 days of instruction will reveal. Good-luck and welcome aboard. |

I don't get it. What's the story anyway? Oh, and does anyone know why no representative of any of the feeder schools was in on this, either? |

I thought "Dahlia Aguilar join Mundo Verde" was the Asst principal at CHEC. That's what it says on Mundo Verde website "Dahlia joins us after seven years as Assistant Principal of Columbia Heights Educational Campus" I am confused. |

"I have not heard good things about the administrators at CHEC."
Hopefully these new principals, formerly from CHEC, do not have the same administration style as their former principal, Ms. Tukeva. There is a huge amount of teacher turnover every year and mid-year at that school. The morale is really bad. |

What? You haven't heard good things about CHEC are you freaking serious!!!! First, the principal of CHEC is highly regarded throughout DCPS and beyond. If one wants to talk about longevity and the need for it, just go to chec and talk to Ms. Tukeva. Ms. Tukeva has all the necessary requirements to handle the entire campus not just a portion.
Also, the statement about the first 18-days of school can infer what the next 180-days of school, is nothing but an phrase used amongst seasoned teachers. Such as the first 18-days of school equates to a month, therefore what is done after, the first month can give a glimmer of what the required 180-days will look like. It is not necessary a right for people from the feeder schools to participate on the principal panels. It is up to the Instructional Superintendent to determine on how such a principal panel will be held. Also feeder schools are necessarily NOT represent fairly because the confusion about feeder schools and neighborhood schools still have people on edge. The panel for EH was repersented quite well. For those who said, they haven't heard good things about administrators for CHEC. Then you need to broaden your listening horizons and only harbor the facts and not the insidous gossip. |

| I have to second pp several profiles have been done on the Principal of CHEH. Given the the situation a lot of students start with at the school-language, poverty etc they have made a lot of progress. I also understand that it is an optimal situation for vice principals to get mentoring to become principals within DCPS. The at least successfully starting 2nd year principal at Marie Reed also came from there. It is easy to be snarky but given the start a lot of kids are getting CHEH is not in the news for disasters but steady progress. |

If the saying lends itself to be true...then one can say all roads lead back to Principal Tukeva because if longevity is any indication to being worthy then let's take a history lesson; surviving any previous superintendent/chancellor is a fete that many can't say at the high-school level.
