[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She was Bunker Hill’s principal before enrollment dropped snd  it closed temporarily.  She then became  the principal of Ross ES for 3 years. She fired anyone who did not bend to her ( thus firing a couple of very competent  teachers).
The school had  3 counselors ( former teachers) at one point while different  subs were covering teacherless classrooms.  That’s when the in boundary parents  ( about 15 % of the overall population back then) pulled their kids out and enrolled them elsewhere. The school flourished after she left becoming 80% in boundary a few years later. [/quote]

I second this.  Her leadership at Ross was very questionable.  Maybe she is more effective in admin outside of the school environment.  Maybe. Her decisions were swift without a lot of foresight about the impact on the students and families.  [/quote]

Can you write more on her time at Ross? I didn’t see any old threads here that suggest that would be the case.

I also don’t know why you’d promote this sham of a Bunker Hill comment without proof. Bunker Hill started growing again because we suddenly got a guaranteed right to PK and then asked for more seats the year after. And Bunker’s got stiff charter competition too; I would not have considered it as an option without the guarantee at PK.[/quote]

An older thread has some commentary on her time at Ross: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/15/706264.page[/quote]
