[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do any of you realize that principals are human beings? They work harder in one year than many people work in a lifetime. I don’t mean this in a judgmental way, just to say that it is an all-consuming job that is emotionally and physically exhausting, demanding in every sense, and one that requires immense sacrifice from their loved ones. He was an incredible leader who did many good things for the school and deserves to be able to make decisions about his life and career without being shamed for it. Thank you, Principal Smith.[/quote]

I don’t think OP was shaming. As originally described, this seemed like a totally bizarre move and so raised questions about whether it was totally voluntary. Turns out it was. In his goodbye email, he didn’t divulge that he’s also going to work for an educational consulting company that has DCPS as clients. I wish him well. He was a really good principal. But this is terrible timing for the school and leaves an especially bitter taste for many families when you consider that he lacked urgency in getting the AP replaced and just embarked on a complicated afterschool plan in his own vision that a new principal may not want to be saddled with. In short, he did not act as a responsible steward of the school’s interests for the last few months if he was on the way out the door. [/quote]

Not a LT parent, but curious how he can be a DCPS employee and work for “an educational consulting company that has DCPS as clients” at the same time.[/quote]
