| And does the MJPatterson Fellowship churn out really good principals? I think it seems like a great program-a way to prepare their own for the uniqueness of the job that is school leadership in DCPS. But do the graduates generally lead and/or have a better skill set than a principal who is not a Fellow? |

It's a new program so I guess only time will tell. Hoping they produce good principals since my school is getting one in the fall. |

Good for Dunbar, not so much for Kelly Miller... |

| I believe Kelly Miller's new principal is from McKinley Tech. She's currently an assistant principal. |

Truancy down to 1%????!!!! The guy's a miracle worker! Then again, middle schoolers are still quite young and fit a bit more easily under their parents thumbs. I don't see him getting those results at a HS in DC. And suspensions being down is a bunch of hooey as a DC stat. It doesn't mean behavior has improved-just that they're not suspending kids for 'suspendable' offenses. We all know how the manipulate numbers game is played. None of the above is a slam against the new principal-just my observations. Congrats to Mr. Z! |

With all his baggage. He interviewed for other dual-language schools and was turned down. |

PP here, I'm guessing he was the last resort. There really aren't any qualified dual-language candidates.
He wasn't impressive during the panel I sat on. He's neither fluent or bi-literate. |
