[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Responsible leaders who care about their organization would be concerned about the transition and not leave it in the lurch.[/quote]

Responsible leaders give notice and help with the transition.  If the replacement is not determined timely that’s in the Heads of the organization and HR.

There are Assistant principals who can operate the school in the interim.[/quote]
To PP of this reply - Either you are new to this board or you are trolling, because you clearly have no understanding of the principal hiring process in MCPS, despite that being a major topic last spring.

This responsible leader has given plenty of notice about their retirement, which allows MCPS to identify the interim principal (could be an AP, could be a principal intern) and place them at the school for training before the principal leaves. Then there will be a principal hiring process which gets feedback from the community, posts the position, interviews and then eventually hires. [b]That will happen during the spring. The new principal will start July 1, 2025.[/b]

Or it could be sooner than that. Last year, several acting HS principals were appointed to the permanent jobs in March and April.[/quote]
Yes, they were appointed in spring. But they didn’t start until July 1.[/quote]

Not true. If someone is already the acting principal of a school and then they are appointed as that school's permanent principal, the permanent position is effective the day after the board vote. This is what happened last year at Clarksburg, for example. Owusu retired mid-year, and O'Neill started as the acting principal in January. On April 11th, the board voted to appoint O'Neill as the permanent principal, and this took effect on April 12th. See page 2:
