[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]21:35, Her timing was generous.  She had the job offer in the summer and held off on leaving until now so that the school and the students would have a smoother transition.  Anyone else, who is not as dedicated, would have taken the job in the summer and left the school in a lurch for the beginning of school.

In her written statement she said that she was staying on as coach and advisor for the transition until December.

Take your negativity elsewhere.  The Deal community is grateful for the smooth transition she engineered.

What kind of organization waits until August to offer a principal a job? How responsible is it for a principal to be accept a job in August?  The responsible thing to do would have been  to accept in March, then finish out the year, giving DCPS enough time to find a suitable replacement.  She may not be a villain, but she's not a hero either.  She's an opportunist.

Wrong. Everything can't rely on the principal alone. She has a strong team in place and had a great run at Deal. As a Deal parent I have no issues with how this went down. There is no good or right time for a talented principal to leave and she has the right to take her talents elsewhere.[/quote]

She had the right to take her talents elsewhere, but in my opinion could have done it much more gracefully and with less trauma to the school.[/quote]
