what other school would his kid have been at if it is HS. Did he move from Wilson to SWW? Or are we talking middle school. Hardy to deal?

Let’s not give this jerk reasons why he should be forgiven. Buck stops with him. He was fully aware of the situation where Kaya gave favors to friends in the form of enrollments in some of DC’s best public schools.

PP here. Agree. Just pointing out that his blame throwing makes the whole thing worse.

Wonder if he hated the uniforms...

Why throw the DME under the bus? That seems v. odd.

The DME supervises the Chancellor. If he was asking for a special placement, it likely would have gone to her for review since he shouldn't have been able to approve his own child's.

Yet the Chancellor gets off scott free? oy.

Keep in mind the DME was also in charge during the whole attendance scandal. This could have been last straw.

What's the point of a chancellor if the DME is the one really making the decisions here? I'm not understanding how this works.

I have been in support of giving this chancellor more time before judgement.

But now? Nope.

This really pisses me off.

Classic Friday news dump. Before a three day weekend no less. If he was truly wanted forgiveness he would not have done it this way. First he is asleep at the wheel for Ballou and now this. Pathetic.

The DME puts a layer between the Mayor and the chancellor. The DME is also in charge of DPR and oversees OSSE. It is a huge job. https://mayor.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/mayormb/publication/attachments/DC-Govt-Org-Chart-03-25-17.pdf

I agree he’s got to go as well.

Oh, that’s cool. No problem. But hey, while we’re corresponding, you should know that I feel that my child needs to transfer schools. Since we’re talking about regaining trust I’m sure you’ll provide the same accommodations to me that you took.

Thanks!
