[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The list might not be accurate but principal turnover at DCPS seems high. This was last years list of new principals.  https://dcps.dc.gov/page/principal-announcements-school-year-2022-2023[/quote]

Turnover is high throughout all levels of education, public and private, worldwide. The pandemic burned out a lot of people. [/quote]

Nope turnover in DCPS is much higher than National numbers and our surrounding neighbors in DMV.[/quote]

It probably is considerably higher than surrounding jurisdictions that are basically all suburbs. I wonder though how DCPS principal turnover compares to similar urban jurisdictions...that would likely be more telling/informative of whether something is wrong here or not.[/quote]

I bet a lot higher compared to other urban schools.  There is no stability because the contracts are so short. You can’t improve a school in 1-2 years.  The turnover is really high.

DCPS plays musical chairs with the principal position.  They can’t find quality new hires for all the needs so they move principals around to different schools.  [/quote]
