[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked with him in two schools and he was always positive and wanted only the best for kids. While he sometimes confronted teachers about how they were teaching and got pushback he never was sexually inappropriate with anyone. This allegation that is being made is truly unfounded and libel. I was very involved in both schools and there were no reports about that ever made.

He didn’t always handle every situation best but his intentions I believe were always good. There were staff who wanted to be left alone and not consider his feedback and they became very defensive and confrontational.

I think it is sad that someone who went through due process and the courts and was cleared to return isn’t being given a fair chance to do his job that he’s devoted his life to doing.

You were [b] not aware [/b] of any reports or inappropriate behavior.

He was the principal at my kids’ school.  I heard enough stories from parents I trust that he can be volatile and ill tempered if he feels he isn’t “respected” enough.   My spouse and I interacted with him a little and definitely noticed that he was extremely adverse to anyone disagreeing with his views.  He also ignored several emails we sent him about concerns we had.

But we also knew people who loved and defended him - because they never had a disagreement with him or kids who were struggling.

I think he should be sent to the central office, maybe admin at a middle school.  But he doesn’t have the temperament necessary to deal with any conflict involving younger children.  [/quote]

If that truly went on for years, then you'd expect more evidence than vague and anonymous complaints. And certainly you wouldn't expect the only documented incident to be one where he was cleared of wrongdoing.[/quote]

You are showing your naivete about MCPS.

1) Not all parents have the energy, courage or competence to go beyond a verbal complaint about their experience. So there isn't a paper trail many times cause parents either swallow it or just pull their kids out of MCPS.

2) Even parents do complain, MCPS will justify and side with the principal. Any complaints that do exist are not made publicly available so parents don't know the extent of complaints about an admin unless it's forcibly made publicly available by the media or a lawsuit.[/quote]
