We need to stop crucifying this guy. He was acquitted and cleared to return to work by MCPS. There is no history of complaints on him according to MCPS. Interesting that parents are now saying things happened 5-15 years ago.

This all needs to stop and let the guy return to work.

Until the video is made public I just don't buy what people post here. There is clearly a coordinated and deceptive campaign to defend him. The news reports describing the video are pretty damning. I don't know wtf you are.

There are teachers on this thread who have worked with Andrew who are telling you what a strong leader he is and how much he cares about kids. It says a lot about YOU that you are only running with negative comments. In my personal experience working with him as a teacher, he really encouraged excellence among staff and students, and tbh, I think that is why people don't like him and want to see him crucified. He asks people to rise to the occasion for the benefit of kids, and people complained. This is coming from someone who worked with him for several years. I have also worked for several other principals who actually ARE bullies, but their names never get mentioned.

There are also teachers on this thread telling you he is short tempered, inappropriate with students , and has been observed to sexually harass female staff. When their comments were made, other posters said those teachers couldn’t be validated because it’s an anonymous forum. But when “teachers” come and say positive things , suddenly they are credible. How ridiculous and hypocritical

Teachers regularly complain about principals, just as any employee regularly complains about their boss. Without evidence, there's no reason to give those anonymous, vague accusations any weight.

Just as we should not give any weight to pretend posters giving him praise without evidence

Much less of a reason/motivation to lie in that direction, but sure.

That leaves the public accusation that he was cleared of.

He may be great to teachers but has questionable behavior to kids.

Except for the people here saying otherwise, and the witnesses at the trial that supported him.

Again, the point of the petition (signed by over 500 people btw) is that those 500 people are uncomfortable with him being in the school. Mcps should recognize that and intervene.

People are uncomfortable with lots of things. Do we let that dictate policy? I mean, history has taught us that doesn’t end well.

I saw the petition. Some kids signed it because they didn’t like him as principal because he was too strict. Doesn’t seem like a good enough reason to deny him the job.

The judge agreed with the pp. Mcps agreed with pp. But you who has not seen the video don’t agree?

Where and when have people seen the video because I have not found it online.

The judge determined whether or not there was enough evidence to move forward with a criminal trial. MCPS has a terrible history of moving bad administrators around. Usually to lower income schools without active PTAs Every school community should do what RCV is doing. Push back against this disgraceful practice.

[Anonymous]

Btw the judge did not conduct the investigation. The judge decided the actions in the video were okay. Clearly MCPS did not as they moved and demoted him. If they were completely fine with what he did, the appropriate action would be to stand by him and let him stay in his previous position. But they didn't, because his actions weren't okay.

At this point, there is way too much controversy surrounding this guy for him to be able to work effectively. We get it: You think he’s amazing and did nothing wrong. However, there’s just enough out there, both with his past performance and this incident with the student, that creates doubt in his ability to be an effective school administrator.

That is reason enough to deny him the job at this point in time. Let him go work at the same salary in the central office for a year. Let this settle down. Then he can return to a school.
