For some anniversary dates have been changed because of contract negotiations (raises deferred etc.) We can retire on the first of any month. Many in my cohort left in November/December which worked well with the holidays since we did not have to return in the new tax year. I wish her well. Who knows, she may not be "retired" for long. I received an offer to return as a substitute administrator as soon as my retirement package was processed. Look at Dr. Mugge

I think it’s far more likely that the brutal attacks after the BCC game delayed her announcement than that they contributed to it.

You think a professional principal waited until the beginning of the school year to retire? Really?

I think educators aren’t indentured servants and if they’re ready to go then they should leave.

An assault at a school with 3,000 people and you just found the one incident? Girl you lazy.

So, you think one assault is ok? It's one to many.

It's "too." You would know that if you'd gone to a W like WJ.

I did go to WJ, so clearly it's not as good of a school as you think. I'd never send my kids there.

I actually do think one is OK. It’s not TOO many.

The reality is when you run a small city there will be assaults. There is no way to get to the number zero. You’re an idiot if you think any differently.

So, if your daughter was assaulted, you'd be ok with it?

That would make sense. I’m sure that situation was stressful and upsetting, whether or not she felt supported by central office. I remember Dr. Goodwin at Whitman decided to retire after a few tragic student deaths. It’s a hard job. That whole incident could have been the straw that broke the camel’s back. Good for her. She’s a human being and can quit her job just like anyone else if it isn’t working for her anymore. Too bad for the school though.

Too bad.for mcps. Good principals leaving because mcps is running a clown show.

Bad principals being promoted despite known serious offenses. The board needs to be cleared out. It's rotten.

You know Mrs Baker personally, and her reasons for leaving?

She was one of the better principals with a long tenure. In order for a "company man" (yes woman in this case) to leave suddenly, versus waiting until the end of the year, something happened.
Since her email did not mention illness, as many often do when that is the reason, it's fairly safe to rub your 2 brain cells together and figure it out.

I wouldnt send my children to the MCPS of today and I certainly don't blame her for leaving it.

In other words, no, you don't know her reasons for leaving.

Why does it matter? I am grateful that she served as long as she did and that MCPS will hire a highly qualified replacement with no history of misconduct.

It matters if you make up false stories about people, you apparently respect. WTF is wrong with you. She’s 60 years old. She wants to retire leave her alone.

Tf is wrong with YOU? She did a student interview last MAY wherein she said was not ready to retire. Fast forward to the beginning of the school year and she's retiring after the start of school?
You sound like a central office clown who's trying to downplay whata going on in the disaster zone of a school district.

She had no obligation to tell the student newspaper or anyone else outside of her family that she was looking to retire. It's not official until she put her paperwork in. The paperwork is in, hence the announcement. She also shouldn't have to continue to put other people vegore her own family when she no longer wants to. The end.

+1 I think the mostly likely scenario is that she "hit her 30" or whatever and was ready for the next phase. Note that the retirement situation can be a little complicated for people who've been with MCPS for a while due to the aforementioned union negotiations and stuff, so she might not have known her exact date until she did a meeting with the retirement specialists and received her official date.

It wasn't a question from the student. The student asked something along the lines of "what else would you like to accomplish " and she answered and then volunteered "I'm not looking to retire anytime soon"
You really pressed that mcps is driving the good ones out huh. I wonder where you work.

Except she has not hit thirty yet. She started in the county in 1995 as a teacher at WJ.

There are other factors that can contribute to the service 30. (Military, other state/county positions, etc.)

She could offer up whatever info she wanted to offer up. I repeat what I said. She wasn't retiring until she put the paperwork in. Furthermore, I never pressed anything. My comment above was the only one to this posting...nice try.

Wondering where Anonymous posters work? Hummmmm....good luck with that.

People can retire whenever they want to - 30+ years or less. Personal decision. Like another poster said - the end!

I hope they don't offer the job to the principal intern. I'm not impressed.
