MCPS principal allegedly assaulted student at Ritchie Park

You are delusional if you think this man ever supported his teachers, students, or parents. He harassed, terrorized, threatened, and bullied teachers, students, and parents who disagreed with him or fell out of favor with him. He was diabolical in ending the long-standing careers of many highly qualified educators and created lasting trauma for many staff and students alike with his insane, violent temper. He also loved to gossip and used it as a weapon. Make no mistake. He is a monster. It's a travesty of justice that he was acquitted. One can only hope he gets slapped with a civil suit.

I was a parent and a staff member with him and he was not mean spirited at all. He was kind and wonderful. Some staff didn’t like him holding them accountable and he followed through with what needed to be done. But he was a great principal and really cared for staff, students, and community.

He was acquitted without putting on a defense because the burden of proof was not met. Witnesses lacked credibility and video was inconclusive. The travesty is he was charged to begin with and never should have been. Wonder if he will sue? Nevertheless it’s time to move on.

That was not my experience at all being a parent of a special needs student. He told us the truth and was kind.

I agree also! My child had behavior concerns and he was always patient and calm with him. We were extremely happy with how he handled his needs and my son really appreciated it too. He also communicated very well with us and was transparent with actions he and the staff were considering.

Eventually, he would've yelled at your kid.

OMG - he was so slimy! Would tell every parent (myself included) exactly what he thought you wanted to hear, and then would do nothing to address the issue at hand. We used to refer to him as the used car salesman

We had him at Barnsley and he was soooo much better than who followed him. He communicated and cared. She doesn’t do that. He supported staff and with her so many have left. Sure he wasn’t perfect but he was much much better than what came after he left!
