Does any DCPS employee, at any level, ever get fired for poor performance?

Very easy for certain subjects to cheat on the TAS section. If you are not teaching a subject that has an objective computerized component, very easy to fudge those numbers.

FWIW, here is the guidebook for how principals are assessed: https://dcps.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/dcps/publication/attachments/DCPS-School-Leader-IMPACT-Guidebook---Principals_0.pdf

A lot of that is easily manipulated. PARCC goals are obviously more objective but there's always a way to manipulate the other components

FWIW, the previous post about Deal and Principal Neal are highly suspect and probably unreliable.

Can the director of the aftercare program get fire for sleeping with his subordinate teachers? And once outed can he be rehired by another school?

At my last job in a school I was sexually harassed by a young man in a management (I’m a fifty year old male) and then I witnessed him groping a woman from behind several times. I reported them, but nothing happened. That was 2 years ago, two weeks ago in a school wide chat this man describes in d tail his sexual encounters with a young subordinate at his wife’s apartment. He is still working at this school in NE DC

+ well meaning, outdated, uninformed ed reform philanthropists have the ear of the mayor. And really, even with the miserable statistics about outcome, Ferebee says - "hey we're getting better" even when 75% of DCPS students are not proficient. Or - yay! enrollment is up, that must mean things are better.

Education "success" is really the only good thing going for her right now. Pathetic.

I'm a teacher and yesterday we had some random DCPS "lead" come into our school for one of our weekly meetings. All I could figure what that this person needed a job and spends time traveling around schools to sit in and "listen."
