[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least some of them are retiring to get FCPS pensions while collecting a salary in a new division.

I get the impression Reid actually expects some results from principals and the ones who quit were used to Brabrand’s do-nothing style.[/quote]

+1. I also get a strong sense from community meetings that Reid is out here pushing for real results - especially for the most disadvantaged and those lagging far behind the norm. I think some principals, specifically those closer to retirement, realize it's going to be hard work to fix the failing schools and jumping ship to a system with less expectations is an easy way out.[/quote]

-1 I don't get this feeling at all. I think she talks around issues~smiles and says let me look in to it. Education is broken and sadly the county is so big it might be unfixable. Teachers and principals can't work around the clock to fix what gatehouse and politicians have broken. It's a job-they go home and have lives after so just stop. Teachers and admin know what needs to happen to fix schools but no one wants to change things Gatehouse just keeps pushing people out the door with their tone deaf attitudes. It's not how you retain people. FCPS is not in a good place(it hasn't been for a long time) and I don't get the feeling this is anymore than a resume builder for Reid.[/quote]
