Roscoe Nix new principal

Since seeing him in action I have talked to parents with kids at Jackson-Reed who said he was awful to deal with as an AP there. DCPS has finally realized it's a losing proposition to keep employing him. Unfortunately it seems that Montgomery County is willing to take him on.

I knew him at Jackson-Reed. He was a terrible teacher and then a terrible assistant principal. But he was very good at kow-towing to the right people

Aren't they all though? In MCPS, I've worked with a terrible teacher who called out often, during COVID, didn't do half her work, and comlalined all of the time. Fast forward to now, she is an AP. Hoping she doesn't become a principal but knowing that in MCPS, it's not what you know, it's who you know, she will probably get moved up.

This Roscoe Nix Principal sounds terrible. He will get moved ip to CO soon.

I live in the Nix district with a kid starting kindergarten next year and am mortified about this post. Any current Nix parents willing to talk about their experience with this guy? How did this happen? I see they do have a PTA, not sure how active.
