Westbrook ES Principal Cox on Leave

[Anonymous]

But we don’t actually know if she’s on administrative leave, right? Does anyone know anything definitively?

I thought the email just said leave, not admin leave.

Have there been any new updates or mention of a return date?

Cox is neither a harasser nor a bully.

Disagree, in our experience, she is a bully 100%, and incompetent. I would not be surprised if its admin leave.

An email was just sent announcing that an acting assistant principal is being brought in during her “leave of absence” so it seems like this might be an extended period of time?

Any updates? Did Principal Cox already return or will be returning? If not, have they announced anyone as the new principal?

She's been back for a while. She was only gone for a week or so

She’s been back but I’d love for her to leave. She doesn’t seem to understand the needs of the SESES program.

That's the guidance counselor's fault. Shocked to learn Faerber was MCPS Counselor of the Year.

Doesn't SESES program have its own social worker? Rather than it being the school counselor.

That school was ruined completely under her.
It went from 9 to a 7, such incompetence and lack of leadership.

Counselors don't run SESES programs, administrators do. So whatever your issue with the counselor is, this shouldn't be one of them. Not that I know anything specifically going on in this school but just shedding light on the situation.

Can anyone let me know why she is on an extended leave?

Counselors help run IEP/504, so if that's a distaster, then parents try to look for SESES if that could work for their kids. It's all related. Faerber ended up leaving counseling entirely in the 2024/25 school year. Cox is gone so far too.
