[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The recent thread about the Takoma principal, and comments about other schools, made me realize that DCPS principals seem to have disproportionate influence in schools, compared to surrounding districts.  Does DCPS central give them more latitude? Less oversight? Is that overall good, because they can be more creative? Or bad, because they can become demigods? Or is DCPS siimilar to other places?

We have only dealt with three DCPS principals. Two are good and one is awful at Shepherd Elementary. The mayor, who has her kid there, is even aware of her shortcomings and no change is imminent. I suspect it may have something to do with the contracts. I am open to any information on how to hold a poor performing principal accountable. Poor performing does not mean test scores. Parents should not have the power but when the teachers and parents take issue with the administration and the mayor finds a way to support the principal and status quo despite numerous reported shortcomings, I have a problem.[/quote]
