So he is not getting fired?

If he really stays, I’ve seriously made a wrong turn in my career- he gets to flout the rules he made and keep his $300k+ compensation package.

Wow how embarrassing!

It wouldn't be so bad if her didn't write the policy and is pushing a platform of "Equity and Access" how can anyone take him seriously now? Plus his vow to investigate cheating by teachers, sigh

I guess he learned his lesson? But how do we as parents trust his ability to lead the school system?

Just like residency cheaters and the like, the rules don't apply to him. He's entitled to get special privileges for his children.

Is that a slap or a reality check? How many people in the DCPS front office that are managers actually live in DC? Do think they're stupid? They're laughing at you!

I agree, I feel despondent about the system and don't trust him now.

I do fully understand the situation he was in, I will be in it in a few years, and many people I know have been in his situation. His role required him to rise above the opportunity to take the easy way out, and he failed.

I agree with PPs. I really wanted him to succeed, but he has to go. What an idiot!! Agree with a PP, he could’ve rented in Shepherd Park or CV with Muriel and not look quite like a sell out and still save face and had IB access to Shepherd, Deal, and Wilson for what maybe $500 more in rent a month than a Brookland?

There are plenty of posts on these boards about how to legally get around the system, that this is so dumb maybe he wanted to get fired!

I agree. He only has the Mayor's confidence. That is not enough.

Reasonable to wait till the facts come out, but if this were a defendable position the Deputy Mayor for Ed would not have fallen on her sword.

He has poor judgement.

And I doubt he has the Mayor’s conference. She doesn’t want to have to admit that she made a bad choice. Her decision making is in question.

So if the options are dumb or a cheat, which option is OK for continued employment as chancellor?

They won’t take him out mid year. It’s so critical to have someone in that role as school year not over anytime soon yet.
