Black, female, grad from a scandals-free graduate school, with a few years at some level of leadership in a high-performing high school, keeps the God references to private life. Thanks!

Perfect! I’m in. I don’t care what color the principal is. I do wish the choice had experience in opening a school or in high-performing school.

Nothing like 0/2 to persuade people with options…

sounds like a great way to get buy-in for the new school.

Considering this school was built bc White UMC families only "buy in" to upper NW schools, I don't think your buy in is the greatest concern of DCPS.

That could not be clearer from this choice.

Which is good! It doesn't need to be all about you and what you want. If you have this little faith in your school system (the same system that has hired every teacher and admin that your child has had thus far), then I don't really know what to tell you. It's a you problem not a DCPS issue

The administrators and many of the teachers at our current school are pre-Bowser era. They have stronger qualifications than the more recent admin hires.

yeah tell me again how DCPS does not gas about producing strong students.

Just so you know how you sound: wah wah wah DCPS won't do enough to help my advantaged high achieving student. Why won't they think exclusively of them

No one wants DCPS to think exclusively about high achieving students. We just want DCPS to think about them at all.

You sound pleased with the principal pick and not headed to the school. Why are you even here?

There are schools in DCPS that have had the same staff since 2014? Do you get there on the train, bus, or platform 9 3/4?

Haha yes exactly! It's so fun to see these cranks do their prejudiced (which is less disputable than what I would call racist) dance about these things when everything in their lives will be just fine. And if anything goes wrong they'll just blame this guy anyway

Nah they’re currently polishing their private school apps. He’s already failed without even setting foot in the building.

I know the interview panel.

I trust the interview panel.

That’s all there is to it for me.

Well good luck to them cuz it’s very hard for application schools these days. And interesting to see where PP ends up since Banneker is too far for them from Palisades but they still may look at Potomac or St Johns.

Or even just poach a candidate from Walls or Banneker. The Banneker AP looks like he would have been a good fit. He started up Ron Brown academy and is now at a high-achieving school.

Who says any of them were even interested? So you're listing Banneker #1 on the lottery app.......

Too far to commute from Palisades to Banneker. We deserve competent leadership at our local high school.

Isn't JR your local high school also?

JR is not in Palisades.

LOL...So What high school was Palisades zoned for before the new HS?

LOL. The new high school is in Palisades, which means it is my kids' local high school. Telling me to send my kids across town to another school is a non-starter.

Non starter to send your kids across town to Banneker.
Non starter to send your kids to new IB with black guy that has an online phd.

Guess your non starting self should START working on moving to Virginia. Can you let me know when you list your house on Redfin for 30% less that you could have 2 years ago? I’m looking to move to bigger house?

Thanks!
