[quote=Anonymous]Wow, this is pretty damning.

[quote]Lance Dempsey, another of McKnight’s October appointees, was the Northwest High School principal — another position overseen by Kimball — during a period that overlapped with McKnight, Beidleman, Edwards and Sheron’s time as middle school administrators. Dempsey retired in 2020 from her role as the associate superintendent of human resources and development. Her retirement came after several employees submitted workplace bullying complaints about her, according to three former district officials who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation from MCPS. “There wasn’t a week or two that went by without someone calling because of the way Lance talked to them,” said Sue Gindes, who at that time was the director of representation programs for SEIU Local 500, the union for MCPS support staff. “Lance was bullying. A lot of people quit because of her.”

Jill Ortman-Fouse, a school board member at the time, confirmed to MoCo360 that “we received emails voicing these concerns [regarding Dempsey]. The communication we received voiced fear, frustration and bullying complaints.”[/quote][/quote]
