[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is that Powell has a Dean, an AP, and now a Principal who do not speak Spanish.[/quote]

[b]The new Powell principal is African-American[/b].

And she knows DCPS, as she was in the system as a teacher and AP.[/quote]

And?

[/quote]

That makes her a native English speaker.[/quote]

Oops! Just reread that and realize your issue is that she doesn't speak SPANISH.

What happened to the AP who's on the site? Looks like he's a Spanish speaker.

Are there lots is non-English speaking Hispanic families at Powell? If that's not the case, the fact that the principal doesn't speak Spanish is not such a big deal....loold like they've got plenty of people there who can translate for families as needed.

I take it Powell's a language school? If that's the case, a Spanish speaker would be ideal. (But I think we've established that DC's in a 'take what you can get' position. Due to their own hubris in thinking talent would just keep lining up cause hey it's DC look at us!)[/quote]

The Spanish-speaking AP left. He's working toward becoming a principal. Most families at Powell do not speak English. [/quote]
