[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few months ago, DS's elementary principal was removed by the superintendent because [b]she managed to somehow ruin relationships and trust with both the teaching staff [/b]AND parents of the community through a total inability to lead, to develop good relationships, and to put together productive processes. All of the data thrown around showed that she was just not ready to lead a learning organization.

Now through the community grapevine we hear that she has been reassigned to an important position as the supervisor for all FCPS libraries. Going from a small staff to supervising hundreds of library programs seems like a promotion, and we are agast. As newer parents to the area we have heard stories of folks who have been really ineffective in schools being reassigned, but this just seems like too much, and we can't possibly understand how the superintendent and FCPS leadership are complicit in this. Especially during a time when libraries are at the heart of so much change and political pressure. The practice of moving someone who has failed a small organization onto one that is more expansive is a total head scratcher. We expected her to move on from FCPS, and this is frightening and really sad. [/quote]

Hmmm—my grapevine said that many staff members were crying and upset about her leaving. One parent made her life a nightmare. Maybe you’re that parent hell bent on stirring up trouble for this person and just can’t stop. [/quote]

My grapevine said the opposite. There was a significant loss of experienced staff prior to the community meeting with the Superintendent. The amount of things that went on unchecked was horrifying (I attended the first community meeting). [/quote]
