[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yes, if their IMPACT scores were low enough. [/quote]

In 2012-13, Deal MS got caught cheating on IMPACT.

An ELA teacher was caught giving students answers.

The test referees caught her during one of their walk-throughs.

Deal was sanctioned for the next 5 testing seasons.

This also opened up the floodgates as they were also caught lying about their accounting since records were not properly kept.

This included everything from how IEPs were documented, attendance was taken, and how employees were lying on their report to work times.

That accounting manger was fired as was the primary attendance officer and replaced by two new women, who although good with numbers, has also been good about allocating funds to things that will increase Deal’s bottom line with their PTA and not the kids and teachers in the classroom.

Fast forward to 2016, when James Albright, former principal got caught in the middle of all of it and was put on “reassignment” to work at Central during his final year in DCPS after it was found out that he helped hide money, cover up employees stealing from the PTA fund, and thus promoting the current Principal, Diedre Neal, who is being investigated for low test scores, underperforming teachers, high turnover rates, and increased numbers of complaints to HR.

So, I’m summation, “yes, you can get fired for poor performance in DCPS.”[/quote]
