[quote=Anonymous]Thank you. And in the case of DC (having lived in other areas) I believe that children in this city ARE being used as social experiments. DCPS never gives anything a chance to "stick" and the children are NEVER taken into consideration. Adult issues ALWAYS come first. It is really heartbreaking. Thanks again for the information. [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back to the topic of a new Chancellor....is there a way that DC residents can demand that we get an actual qualified Superintendent rather than another Chancellor? Tired of DC kids being used as social experiments. [/quote]

I'm personally tired of the phrase "social experiments" w/r/t education policy. I received the below email yesterday. Maybe this is a way for you to voice your concerns?

Dear Friends,
 
By now, you may have heard that Kaya Henderson is stepping down as Chancellor of DCPS on September 30, 2016 and John Davis will serve as Interim Chancellor beginning October 1st. Mayor Bowser and I thank Kaya for her tremendous work over the last nine years and look forward to her being a partner as we move forward.
 
Right now, we will focus our attention on finding a permanent Chancellor and I am excited to be leading this effort. The upcoming community engagement and selection process is an opportunity for us to shape the future of education in DC.
 
I invite you to join me for a conference call to share my initial thoughts on our approach next Thursday, July 7th at 1:00pm. Please dial 1-866-878-9667 and use this code: 9956045.
 
In the meantime, I invite you to join the conversation on social media as we say #ThankYouKaya.
 
Look forward to talking soon.
 
Best,
Jennie Niles
Deputy Mayor for Education[/quote][/quote]
