[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Miner parent here. Personally, I’m looking forward to Dr. B. Finally a veteran school leader who isn’t learning on the job! We’ve had 8 principals in 3 years. We need someone with experience. And if teachers leave, well, TBH, some of them should.[/quote]

The problem you will have is it will be a revolving door of teachers.  Teachers come in believing her during interviews and last one year - maybe two.  So just be prepared that you may have a constant principal but not teaching force.  [/quote]

We have been at Lafayette for 5 years and have not seen this at all. We saw two retirements (one ok and one k). And we didn’t have the beloved k teacher who seemingly didnt like the DC curriculum so left DCPS all together. Who else? In a school with 5-6 classrooms per grade, you are going to see some people leave each year. But most seem to stay. [/quote]

My child is in 8th grade, so left Lafayette 3 years ago. There are only a handful of teachers on the webpage who were there when we were there.[/quote]

Yeah. You'd have to FOIA the info from DCPS, but the turnover is enormous in comparison to similar schools. She attracts good candidates from outside the region who don't know better, but most leave after a year or two. [/quote]
