[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yes, it would be disingenuous on the Mayor and Deputy part to be hosting these very important forums to select a Chancellor if the decision has already been made.  Too often DCPS makes personnel decisions in the back room and no one has the backbone to explain them.  Kudos to the Washington Post for exposing this charade and deception.[/quote]

I will break it to you: these community forums are NOT about gathering community input in order to choose a better, more professional and seasoned schools chancellors.  They are about justifying whatever choice the mayor wants to make for her own reasons.  It is nothing more than political cover.

Basically all they are asking are what characteristics you want to see in your school chancellor. Once chosen, they can go back and point to the "hard data" gathered from your survey.  I.e.  80% of the community said they wanted a chancellor with teaching experience and on and on.  Same with the advisory committee. It is so they can say " we gathered teachers , school leaders and parents from all quadrants of the city".  It's a circus people. It's an illusion of inclusiveness. It is brazenly politics before quality.[/quote]
