[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MoCo 360 article on response and reaction to the Durso hire: https://moco360.media/2024/01/10/michael-dursos-long-history-with-mcps-draws-pointed-reactions-to-his-new-role/[/quote] Ooh, nice quotes from Starr himself [/quote] I miss having Dr. Starr as superintendent. So do many of my teacher colleagues. I get that he had detractors, chiefly Durso, but his quotes are exactly why I liked him. He wasn’t a very good politician because he was too honest and ruffled feathers and said what he thought all the time, and I know I probably just summoned that persistent poster who thinks he mishandled situations involving employees accused of misconduct, but I believe he cared about teachers and students and would have been good for the system had he been given half a chance to continue growing in the role. I think he would have handled the pandemic and current mental health crisis better, and I think teacher morale wouldn’t be as in the toilet had he stayed. I wonder how many of the principals who signed off on his firing have second thoughts now.[/quote]
