He was a great acting principal at Ridgeview, and now Ridgeview has no one. Not sure why they would move him somewhere else when he was already filling the role. |

She is a hard worker. I have found her to be responsive. Most importantly, she is a long-term AP who is unlikely to change the very positive school culture at WJ. I can't speak to your recent experience with an overlooked email - perhaps it was delegated but that person failed to respond - but I think the longer talk was probably so the community could get to know her better. |

Ugh I hope not. Haven’t been impressed by the acting at Clarksburg. |

I did my admin program with Reck and I know he would be an outstanding principal. He's one of the smartest guys I've ever met and has a great personality. He has always been about doing what's best for students. |

I wonder if it will be a current principal of another school. |

Hearing rumblings of James Allrich possibly going for it. |

| Allrich would be great! I am sure he's been approached and it will depend on whether he wants the increased demands of working in a high school setting. |

He'd be a home run, for sure. Some other names that come to mind: Brandi Overton is leading MLK MS and was a long-time AP under Johnson. Maybe Aaron Shin at Parkland? Needs to be an experienced, respected leader - preferably with magnet experience. |

| Oops - forgot to mention Alana Murray of Shady Grove MS. These are the only 4 names that really make sense to me, personally. |

| Yesterday they reposted the Blair and Gibbs principal positions, and they have new posts for Briggs Chaney, Chevy Chase, College Gardens, Lake Seneca, and Maryvale. |

| Why would other schools be posted for much shorter periods while Carderock is posted for over a month? If there are a shortage of applicants, that should impact everyone. Wondering why Carderock is standing out. Anyone know of the school culture? |
