[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So outsted Dunbar Principal who was fired for altering thousands of records is immediately given a position as the head of a charter school. Right in DC where he was publicly fired!!!

Where’s the story about how little regard is given to the poor black neediest kids in DC?  This wouldn’t have happened anywhere else.

Why is it more important to keep adults employed in the nation’s capital’s schools than it is to ensure our kids have leaders who are honest and have integrity?  This is why we keep getting stories out of DC’s public and charter schools like the one about Roosevelt’s principal involving the police in a sexual assault for the sole purpose of “embarrassing her (the victm’s) ass” with a long, drawn out email.

A principal publicly (or not) fired from a suburban school district for ethical reasons would have his license revoked. If lucky, he’d be able to move to another time zone, reinvent himself and start over. But he sure as hell wouldn’t get another job in that same town. Truth is, there’s been more than enough valid complaints and suits brought against Principal Zaki during his tenure to call his character and ability to lead into question. Pinder and DCPS had more than enough cause to fire him. But it took the media and public embarrassment to get him out of DCPS. What’s he doing at Maya Angelou and what’s with them that they’d hire exposed so publicly?

The kids of DC deserve better from those entrusted with their care.[/quote]

You should ask these questions of the school that hired him.  Let’s be honest, there are several DCPS schools where this guy would never be hired.  There are many children in DC who will never encounter a substandard education.  Maya Angelou students are not among that group.[/quote]

Your last statement is sadly true. And that’s why I’m outraged. Those kids are the most vulnerable. Who knows what the hell hes over there getting away with. In addition to changing records, there was the newspaper article about him mishandling a student’s sexual assault.

And I think many DCPS schools would’ve hired him. In fact, they would’ve kept him had it not been for the media.[/quote]
