[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS Central office staff member & SN parent here.  Based on what I've seen, know and experienced I would only send my child to about 4-5 of the schools in the entire school system.  Overall, we are a total mess - sped teachers are only allowed to teach/instruct the special programs we purchase and each child has to fit into one of the pre-approved instructional programs.  ZERO CREATIVITY - the child must fit into one of the programs!! We are so cookie-cutter it's painful.  Massive and systemic issues are the norm.  Any employee that challenges the aforementioned norm(s) are quite often deemed a trouble-maker and then suddenly this previously good employee is now considered to be failing to meet expectations.  Next they are placed on a PIP and fired usually within two months.  Most employees have learned that speaking up and advocating for kids will get you fired.  The leadership teams are a joke and the central office is so TOP HEAVY.  When this new round of terminations happen - I wonder whom will be left to do the work. LOL.

Anyway, I am leaving soon for a job over the bridge in VA.

Good luck and God bless you all!

What would you say are the 4-5 schools that would be good enough for your child? Thank you for your honest post
