[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue is McKnight accelerated the principal appointment process. So interviews are happening now for the 19 positions with acting principals. She gets to choose from the final 2 candidates presented to her for each of those positions. And everyone below her in the appointment process is also in an “acting” role so they also have to interview to keep their jobs next year which IMO creates a conflict of interest. So the web will continue to tangle.[/quote]

Principal Interns are interviewing for permanent roles [i]now[/i]? In January? That seems very early compared to when I last checked and it’s a huge conflict of interest.[/quote]

Interns haven't even finished their internship BUT 19 openings is an all the high at this stage in the year. By June, there will be at least 7-8 more. Principals who are still left and are seeing their professions tarnished by this horrible situation will not stay much longer. [b]Many principals are appalled at what is currently happening.[/b] [/quote]

Then why don't they speak out? At the MCEA forcefully and publicly condemns McKnight's mess. MCAAP has only done so once or twice and it was mainly about their dissatisfaction with regard to their upcoming annual meeting with her.[/quote]

Easier said than done.  It’s really hard to speak out against your employer.

I’m not a teacher or a principal, but in my industry there are plenty of good people who just have to keep their heads down and do their jobs despite much dissatisfaction.  [/quote]
