[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope Jackson didn't write his own bio... it's full of typos. With that said, I hope he is successful at Amidon-Bowen. It won't be easy to come in with a pending renovation, the newly built day care center (so foolish not to coordinate but that's dcps/dgs for you!) a very economically and racially diverse community, the departure of some very long-tenured staff, and a previous principal who was there for 8 years and thus is the only principal any parents or students are likely to have known.[/quote]

The optics look really bad for them to move a white man into a predominately black school to lead. They should have chosen a black man or a black woman to lead Amidon-Bowen.[/quote]

I don't know who else applied for the job. He might have been the best option. And the school is increasingly diverse. If he can get the test scores up and cope with everything else, that will be wonderful. I don't believe the principal necessarily has to be the same race as the majority of the students, especially if the staff as a whole are diverse.[/quote]

He was the selection panel's #1 choice. It was very diverse w/ majority minority representation. He was awesome at Miner. A-B is super lucky to get him.[/quote]
