[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry she's leaving, although we're no longer at Shepherd. The timing is considerate though as it allows time to select from the best applicants. Waiting until later to resign would be the school only gets the left over applicants who other schools didn't select.

It's hard to be a DCPS Principal. It's a 24/7 job for low pay considering the education and work hours. The Principals get it from above and below. DCPS doesn't have their back and the teachers union makes it very difficult to manage poor performers (especially when they can't trust DCPS to support them).

It blows my mind that most DCPS Principals make less than $150K. I could get a really easy, 40 hour a week job for $150K. We need to compensate them better.[/quote]

I don’t think they make less than DCPS [/quote]

Lol that’s ASSISTANT principals, principals make $120k-210k

They also have the ability to get a $20k-35k bonus.

And you must not be in education, DCPS makes it very easy for a principal to punish any performer, they are able to get rid of ANY teacher in 1.5 years. The majority of teachers do not win their case against admin if they do not agree with their evaluation score.

It’s interesting to me how you feel principals are the main thing driving a school, it is teachers not admin. That goes for almost any job. Not to say principals are not important and don’t deserve more but to say ‘the teachers union’ makes it difficult is an absolutely not true. The one who makes it difficult is DCPS and Bowser.[/quote]
