[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meanwhile MCPS hires replacements from PG County Public Schools. [/quote]

Still wondering why MCPS shouldn't hire candidates with experience from PCGPS.[/quote]

DP.  Maybe because it's better to recruit from school districts above a C-?

Seriously? Niche rankings should determine who MCPS hires? Especially while we're in a critical teacher shortage?[/quote]

Yes, seriously.  Overall MCPS should be recruiting the best possible educators / talent.  MCPS should be recruiting new teachers from colleges, not from a messed up County who can't get their act together.

If you don't like niche, fine.  But they all say the same.

Only 4 PCGPS high schools (ranked #47, 52, 70, 94) made the top 100 in MD.

MCPS had 22 of the top 100 in MD (ranked #1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 15, 18, 25, 28, 34, 35, 37, 42, 43, 49, 50, 54, 68, 71, 81, 97).

4% vs 22% meant that MCPS has about five-and-a-half times more schools in the MD top 100.  If you pick staff from one of the 4 effective PCGPS schools, that's one thing, but why would you recruit staff from a school worse than your own County's?  That also means that you passed over internally promoting / rewarding someone from one of the 15 schools rated higher than the best school in PCGPS, which I would think is insulting to your own staff and teachers?

If you find that new teachers don't want to come to MCPS, that's because of MCPS leadership.  Word gets around if a CO treats teachers like cattle or has personal agendas.  Teachers want to go to the best schools to educate children.  But if the CO only supports the rotten apples, well, that word gets around as well.  Until MCPS admits it has a leadership failure, things won't improve.  [/quote]

promoting from within would be smart and strategic [/quote]
