[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He was not dismissed due to social media posts or posting rehearsals. So please take into consideration that parents and boosters get into the ears of principals ALL THE TIME. This was a musician, composer, band director, artist who chose to go into this profession on purpose. He meets all certification requirements and then some AND is working on a doctorate. Like really-when you think about it, without doing something outrageously wrong to a student why would a new admin rate him any less than a year ago?  It’s because the evaluation system is set up for admin to be able to do just what they did. Evaluate him out on some BS. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. This teacher is just willing to fight back without fear of retribution. He is telling his truth. There are Vet teachers and admin I. FCPS [b]who have f’d up far worse and still have their jobs[/b].  He may actually have a point. [b]Someone name or share out any other HIGH SCHOOL black male band director in FCPS WITH AWARDS AND HIGH RATINGS in competitions. I’ll wait…..[/b][/quote]

First, there is no evidence this Annandale band director teacher “f’d up” to quote you. He may have been a perfectly fine teacher and excellent band director, despite the cringey social media posts on his personal accounts.

Second, the Washington-Liberty HS band director is African American and has been the director there for some four decades. His band has won numerous awards and he has also been the Washington Post teacher of the year. That band is one of the best in the DMV.

But she said “she’d wait” (like she always does). That means there couldn’t possibly be any other AA band directors in the area that are award winning!!!!![/quote]
