We want to share an important update regarding the Garrett Park principal vacancy. Please know that the current principal's retirement is effective October 1st.

While we would very much like to see an appointment at the start of the summer, and initially hoped to appoint a new principal by early June, we have made the thoughtful decision to extend our search to ensure we find the highly qualified leadership our school deserves. We are ensuring we take the necessary time to make the absolute right match for the school. Please rest assured that our commitment to an inclusive process remains unchanged; staff and community members will continue to be a vital part of the interview panel as we work together to find the right match for our unique school community.

Sincerely,
Eugenia Dawson, Ed.D.
Director

That's nice!

Don't be fooled. They're stalling to find the right toadie insider who'll do Taylor's bidding. The "search" is performative.

I guess on the principal's part though to agree to stay on

Principal's typically leave July 1 so new hire can come on. But when they've been in the system for a long time and for their pension reasons, they may stay on a few months. Often times this is with a short assignment in Central Office or at another school. But, it would be helpful if there is nobody hired, if the incumbent can stay on for a few more months.

They're retiring with a date of Oct 1, despite Principal's generally phasing out July 1 so new person can take over for new school year. But, for those 3 months, I guess you go where TT/MCPS tells you to go. Here it sounds like "stay put until your retirement day" because nobody wants that job or at least nobody MCPS wants to give the job to. Probably good for stability....

Deep in the MCPS web of conspiracies lies the information regarding the promotion of Mrs. Tibbs. People paying attention will remember that she was the AP at RPES who called the police, A.K.A. her husband---the assigned CEO at the time, to report the Principal's behavior toward a Kindergarten student. This action caused the Principal to lose his job and stand trial on assault charges. He was later acquitted.

That’s why she got the job. Quid pro quo.

The position for principal of White Oak MS was just posted in Careers.

Did the Rock Creek Forest ES principal change? They are bringing in a new to the school AP

Any intel on the just announced Woodward principal, Robert Sinclair Jr.? He was apparently principal at Blake before his stint as Consulting Principal.

Is this another instance of Taylor demoting a Central Office person and sticking them back in a school like what he did with Damon at Blair?

There was a cut of a consulting principal position in the budget cuts. They needed a landing spot for Sinclair at a school. Prior to Blake, he was also the principal at Poole MS.

This is ridiculous. (1) That’s a very long time for a quid pro quo payout; (2) I’m glad MCPS is willing to promote people who blow the whistle on bad behavior by their superiors. That shows a much more functional culture than “report wrongdoing and be black-listed forever.” Good for her.

Got it. So he lost his CO job and needed to land somewhere.

What was his track record at Poole and Blake? Was he liked and respected by staff, parents and students at both schools?

Except she didn’t blow the whistle on bad behavior, she made a blatantly false accusation against an effective principal to get him fired. The accusation was thrown out at court.
