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!

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!

Oh PS feds raised rates yet again today.

Equity in DC is trolling white people calling them racist and enjoying their disappointment when an institution sabotages its public service to turn white people off of it. Equity in DC is to pretend there are only FARM kids and kids who can go full pay to Sidwell. Equity in DC is to say "Bye Felicia!" to those in-between, hoping that they'll move to the burbs. I don't get this town.

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…

Well that was Kim Martin and she got slaughtered here BEFORE she even landed at DCA.

Interesting. I just looked back at articles about her when she was just hired at Wilson and she sounded great! And then she wasn’t great at all. That’s even more discouraging.

Equity is not granting any Tom, Dick, or Karen the chance to say a hire they don’t like that they’ve never met is a non starter and not to their standards. PERIOD. The entitlement on this thread is astounding.

Agree but sadly, 5 of her neighbors have already agreed which makes me very fearful for the state of our community.

You’re fearful because people think public schools should embrace a mission of creating strong college students? Can you explain why? PS it is NOT only white parents. That’s what is so annoying about this discussion.

Read the message I bolded again. It explicitly names white people. Also, to me, your statement reads as very disingenuous. DCPS openly promotes its mission to create strong college students. You just disagree with their methods.

Reread what that PP wrote. You misunderstood it.

Also the fact that we cannot even discuss the fact that the new principal has no experience/qualifications in administration for strong college-bound students *without being called racist* proves the point. It is not allowed here - it’s white privilege to advocate for your child’s appropriate challenge.

You are all picking apart a persons resume and experience anonymously making assumptions based on where he worked and what he tweets about. I don't think you should be entitled to do that. I'm sure DCPS and McArthur will provide opportunities for you to ask Dr. (Or, as many of you would prefer, Mr.) Mc.Cray questions. You just won't be able to hide behind anonymity. Seems more fair to me

And that’s racist? All we have to go on is his resume. It speaks for itself - he does not have the experience. That doesn’t mean he will be a disaster, but it absolutely means that parents reasonably are concerned. And yes I would ask these questions to him directly.

It is not allowed here - it’s white privilege to advocate for your child’s appropriate challenge.

You are all picking apart a persons resume and experience anonymously making assumptions based on where he worked and what he tweets about. I don't think you should be entitled to do that. I'm sure DCPS and McArthur will provide opportunities for you to ask Dr. (Or, as many of you would prefer, Mr.) Mc.Cray questions. You just won't be able to hide behind anonymity. Seems more fair to me

And that’s racist? All we have to go on is his resume. It speaks for itself - he does not have the experience. That doesn’t mean he will be a disaster, but it absolutely means that parents reasonably are concerned. And yes I would ask these questions to him directly.

Anonymous DCUM says he doesn't have the experience. DCPS and an interview panel think he does. You can hopefully understand why I don't hold your opinion as valid

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!

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!

Oh PS feds raised rates yet again today.

Equity in DC is trolling white people calling them racist and enjoying their disappointment when an institution sabotages its public service to turn white people off of it. Equity in DC is to pretend there are only FARM kids and kids who can go full pay to Sidwell. Equity in DC is to say "Bye Felicia!" to those in-between, hoping that they'll move to the burbs. I don't get this town.

And that folks, is white privilege in one sentence.

Agree but sadly, 5 of her neighbors have already agreed which makes me very fearful for the state of our community.

You’re fearful because people think public schools should embrace a mission of creating strong college students? Can you explain why? PS it is NOT only white parents. That’s what is so annoying about this discussion.

Read the message I bolded again. It explicitly names white people. Also, to me, your statement reads as very disingenuous. DCPS openly promotes its mission to create strong college students. You just disagree with their methods.

Reread what that PP wrote. You misunderstood it.

Also the fact that we cannot even discuss the fact that the new principal has no experience/qualifications in administration for strong college-bound students *without being called racist* proves the point. It is not allowed here - it’s white privilege to advocate for your child’s appropriate challenge.

You know the interview panel gets to ask a limited list of questions to 3 pre-selected candidates, and their advice is advisory only? DCPS selects the three candidates and makes the final decision.

You are falling for the DCPS accountability Kabuki.

Lol a bunch of anonymous people here have determined that a brand new unopened school in Palisades won't skew toward high achieving students and I'm the one who's off base. Thank you for making my rainy day a little sunnier!
