[quote=Anonymous][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]

Powell is dual language. 82% ELL. Departing principal is from Spain and was principal of the year last year (returning to Spain to be with family).

Oops! Come on DC! I was giving them the benefit of the doubt with this appointment! Lol! I'm starting to think Central Office carpools to work in a clown car.

Not one Spanish speaking principal after a nationwide search??? Not one Spanish speaking AP currently in DCPS?

Oops! I forgot. No one who values their livelihood and ability to feed their family is taking the bait. Too much of DCPS's nonsense is in the news. Too many current and former employees have easily found blogs. I don't blame them.[/quote]
