[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]:thumbup: I actually agree with the comment directly above this one. The school is solid. The leadership is just the face of the school. There is a strong team of hardworking staff behind the scenes - people running things whose names you don't know because they intentionally stay behind the scenes.

With that said I am hoping that Daniels does well. It has been challenging for black females leading elementary schools in areas that are quickly gentrifying.  She should be prepared to go toe to toe with some of the more vocal (and covert) parents at the school.

What do we know about her so far? [/quote]

I agree the school is strong and will likely be fine.  But TBH I wouldn't pick her to lead a gentrifying school.  She was an AP at our school and I think she did a good job (and the kids totally loved her), but I always felt like she kind of had a wall of professionalism up and I couldn't really get to know her.  And she had a more top-down attitude than the principal did, or at least the principal knew how to be top-down while seeming collaborative.  Ms. Daniel was young and not as experienced at the time-- maybe she's better now.  I hope being at Langley gave her more experience with a gentrifying school and what it's like to have a motivated group of gentrifying preschool parents.  [/quote]

While I obviously recognize that LT is gentrifying quickly, it is way farther along than Langley. To wit, LT is way past having a motivated group of gentrifying preschool parents... There are, I believe, zero preschool parents on the PTO unless they also have older kids.[/quote]
