He is much beloved by the Mann community, where he taught, and also where he attended as a child. Garrison is very fortunate.

Why is he leaving Mann?

Anyone have any thoughts?

I'm trying not to be cynical, but here's the Principal's Message on the current Roosevelt STAY website:

It is my honor to be your new
Principal. I am proud of what
our students and teachers
have accomplished in the
past and look forward to
building and expanding upon
that success in the future.

Google her name. She was caught up in this incident with another teacher last summer.

Wow. I hope there's an innocent explanation, but the circumstances of the incident (while clearly not at all her fault) are very concerning.

Did we ever figure out what happened to the Leckie principal?

It just seemed like they were scraping the bottom of the barrel in comparison to the past 4 years. They don't have to be Yale graduates with accolades but even when promoting from within an organization should have leaders with a proven track record. One candidate listed his greatest achievement as raising the iReady scores. Seriously? None of the others have a proven track record with the exception of perhaps Norah and that was when she was at Janney.

She should work out for Brent, though some of the Janney parents complained that she has a lazy streak, seldom comes to school events, often doesn't respond to emails from parents etc. I'm cautiously optimistic but that's it.

jesus, you people are terrible! really, just terrible.

Because we have high expectations for those who teach our children?

You sound like a lazy parent who doesn't care enough. Reach for the lower middle kids!

You really think it's a good idea to post mean-spirited, petty rumors about school principals on the internet? How would you react if one of your children did that? All I have to say is god bless the DCPS principals willing to put themselves up for that. It says MUCH more about Janney parents that you would post such things than it does about the principal.

It's not a rumor that they have unimpressive credentials. It's my opinion. Calm down. Also, watch your racism, I'm not a Janney parent. I live EOTP and am a person of color. Just because my skin is brown doesn't mean I have low standards.

I don't know wtf you are talking about. The new Brent principal is white; the rumors about her were about not returning emails and being "lazy," not her credentials. BTW what kind of credentials are you expecting?

I am not a Brent parent either. But I did notice that none of the principals had particularly impressive credentials. I agree that DCPS isn't exactly getting tons of applications. Sad.
