[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does CCES normally have a "steady roster" of teachers? Why are people worried about what's happening there?[/quote]

CCES hasn’t had a lot of turnover in recent years. This year there will be a new assistant principal plus what looks like four new classroom teachers, two new special education teachers, and MCPS’ website shows fourth and fifth grade teaching jobs listed. [/quote]

OP here -- yes, that's why I posted.  They lost some really good teachers last year and then this big shift this year.  Maybe turnover just happens in phases.  But I have also heard that the new principal hasn't been very present.  Jody was a lot but she let very gifted teachers do their thing.  I hope the new principal is keeping that up!  I also hope she hires as well as Jody did.[/quote]

In my own experience, the principal wasn't present early in the year due to back to back family tragedies. The former AP was not really capable of doing the job, and while MCPS did send in a series of subs to cover in this role it meant there really wasn't much in the way of leadership in the building at times.

I hope the new AP will be a good one and I hope that the principal will be present this year.

I agree with the PP’s observation about the principal and assistant principal issue last year.   I think there were more discipline issues last year due to not having a consistent assistant principal, but that issue has been corrected.

The new principal is still an unknown quantity at this point.[/quote]
