Shanay Snead is the Principal Intern and could take over.

Don't they usually appoint more than one consulting principal?

I knew this was coming. He’s an amazing principal. I wonder if they will appoint the trainee who was at Blake over the winter.

She’s been gone since early February but you’re right and she would be a good choice. Everyone loved her -‘kids teachers, support staff . . .

She was at Goshen for a minute and I loved her. She was very professional and had a wealth of knowledge.

There are three currently. Is one of them leaving or are they adding a fourth?

She was at a lot of places for a minute, but I did not enjoy working with her. She *thinks* she has a wealth of knowledge but didn't show any interest in doing much beyond being the boss. I think it's telling that she spent four years as principal intern/acting principal a different schools when it's usually a one year thing. Hopefully she has learned a lot in the mean time and is ready to lead. I did think she was a nice person who cared about doing what she thought was best for them.

Anne dardarian and kim Bolden were just added. Is bob sinclair replacing David chia? If so, I think that’s it for next year.

Consulting principal is apparently a 4-year rotating position: https://ww2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/personnel/classification/descriptions/description.aspx?fn=0555-169
Looks like David Chia was appointed 4 years ago, so maybe he's rotating off.

She's still there as principal intern through June. Her stint as acting principal ended in Feb.

Curious if anybody knows why Brown Station’s principal left in the middle of the year?
