[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The big issue with DCPS is that it’s only a 1 year contract.  It does not encourage a long term view or commitment from applicants.  Move up to get a principal position and then leave in 1-2 years for something better.

It also doesn’t help that DCPS’s model to top down with principals having much less autonomy as central office tries to control everything.  Then when you don’t toe the line with them, they will let you go or won’t renew your contract.  I think that is what happen with School without Walls HS principal.

It’s a dysfunctional set up.[/quote]
His contract was renewed - he was FIRED in October when he stood up to central office[/quote]

I thought he was insisting on an in-person test while refusing to reopen for in-person school.[/quote]

Rumor is he was pushing to keep schools closed when they were trying to reopen but they claimed he didn’t follow proper lottery protocols to let kids into FS.  Which honestly he hasn’t followed in years at either school. They just wanted him gone and to have someone who would toe the line and be controlled by central office.[/quote]

I don't know the man but let's take a moment and dissect what you just posted, shall we?

[b]Rumor is[/b]
So we start by repeating unfounded information as a basis for our post. Way to enhance your credibility from the start.

[b]they claimed he didn’t follow proper lottery protocols to let kids into FS[/b]
Did he not follow proper protocols? Must these two things be mutually exclusive? Couldn't he have both wanted to keep schools closed and not followed protocols? If he did in fact do both then wouldn't they be well within their rights to fire him for violating protocols? Do you think that the lottery and admissions protocols should be followed only when admins like them? And otherwise they can be disregarded? Have you thought about how that works when an admin applies an unapproved standard you don't like?

[b]Which honestly he hasn’t followed in years at either school[/b]
So now you tell us the pretend reason he was fired was activity in which he was engaged? Same questions as above as to why he should be allowed to ignore the protocols and rules.

[b]have someone who would toe the line and be controlled by central office.[/b]
This confuses me. Isn't that what every management team in any job really wants; people who will follow the policies and procedures set forth by the organization? Policies you acknowledge he regularly violated? This isn't a situation where he was censured or fired for speaking truth to power; he can say whatever he wants. In truth he can do what he wants. But thee are consequences for violating your employer's policies.

No one actually knows the reason except Trogisch and central office personnel.  But you took a long time dissecting that post.  Hopefully you are not actually Trogisch because he should be enjoying retirement somewhere.  But please trust that I have more knowledge on this than you do.[/quote]
