[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not surprised by this. Her stock seems to be rising this year (see the WaPo award).

I am of mixed opinions about her.[b] I think she cares deeply for the students, but anytime we had issues with staff, she always tried to avoid talking to us.[/b] Fortunately the staff there is pretty darn good, and we had issues with only one or two of them (and one left). I believe she buys into the whole equity thing just like Hutchings.

She had a very difficult school, with high FARMS and ELL and many facility challenges, but her “success” may be overblown in my opinion. Many students are still underperforming.

Remember she worked under Balas, so I won’t be surprised if she pops up in APS.

I will say that under her leadership at MVCS they did not have the staff turnover and vacancies many other schools struggled with. It will be interesting to see who they get to replace her. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Jen Hamilton return, and I don’t think that would be a terrible choice.[/quote]

This is every principal in today's schools. They need a layer of deniability in case of any controversy. I don't know the principal being discussed here but I'm familiar with public school admin and principals work hard to keep their hands clean, for better or for worse.[/quote]
