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.

Tibbs did a good job as AP at RPES and was required by law to report the allegation and will do a good job at Clarksburg.

It’s unfortunate that the Principal lost his job as I was a fan but the allegations weren’t made up as a way to oust him.

Did she report the principal that was shown stomping in a little kids foot. If so good on her. He’s disgusting.

That’s the way I remember it too. Whether he stomped on or near the kid’s foot he was screaming in the face of a kindergartener. Even though acquitted of assault that’s an appropriately fireable offense.

+1 He did stomp on that little kids foot. The people who tried to gaslight us after the are likely sick child abusers too. That kid winced in pain. A middle aged man hurting a defenseless child is so grotesque. He deserves to be fired and publicly shamed. He should have been convicted too, but the justice system failed. We see that happen all the time unfortunately. Glad they got rid of that scum. And if it was your kid, you’d be grateful for Ms. Tibbs. It’s not my kid but I’m definitely grateful for people like her who protect kids.

Tibbs is a wonderful person and great educator. Clarksburg ES is lucky to get her. Not sure if it was ever reported, but that principal tried to delete the security footage from the cafeteria that showed him stomping on the child's foot. She made the right call in reporting him.

Why did the Eastern principal leave? Do folks think it had anything to do with the current and/or likely future magnet program changes?

She's becoming the new principal at Banneker MS.

+1. I worked with Ms. Tibbs and have met her husband on many occasions. They are both very caring, moral, and wonderful people. She made a brave decision to ensure the safety of her students. Period. She will do a wonderful job at Clarksburg.

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.

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?

Bob Sinclair was an excellent principal at Blake. He knew the students and was visible at school and at all kinds of evening and weekend events. Students, staff, and parents loved him. It was a huge disappointment when he left Blake for a central office position. He's one of the few great administrators, and it's nice to see him back in the position of principal - Woodward families will be so fortunate to have him.

I echo these comments about Mr. Sinclair. He was a wonderful principal at Blake. The students were so sad when he got the job at central office, and things went downhill at the school after he left. He will be particularly great a facilitating the creation of a new high school community at Woodward.

Bob was well liked by staff and parents alike at Blake. Woodward is in good hands.

Yes, he's a well-liked and very experienced principal, a good choice to open a new school.

What experience does he have with affluent parents in diverse communities? I.e. the type that create petitions and What’s App groups to ask people for money

How was it brave if it was false? He was acquitted. Couldn’t he pursue a civil case against her?

It wasn’t false. Being acquitted doesn’t prove it to have been false. Being acquitted means there wasn’t proof beyond a reasonable doubt or that the jury wanted to acquit for any reason. The criminal charge required proof of touching the child, it may have also required an intent to do bodily injury. Screaming in a kindergartener’s face is still ground for firing and accidentally stomping on a child while verbally berating them would also be adequate ground for firing. Firing doesn’t require proof beyond a reasonable doubt if intent to cause physical harm. So stop it with the “proven fiase” BS. The standard used to send someone to jail is not the same as that used to fire someone.

He wasn’t fired, just moved positions.
