[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the justification with creating a new position just for application schools? There are many things wrong here.[/quote]

There are now 10 comprehensive high schools and 8 application schools, including 2 brand new ones that have partnerships with external colleges (Bard Early College and Coolidge Early College). Ellington will soon be expanding. I'm ok with a new position and think the application schools and comprehensive high schools have distinct challenges that separating oversight makes sense.[/quote]

This could have been done with shuffling responsibilities of the existing superintendents. I'm not okay with another six figure salaried position when many people in the central office have lost their jobs. The top layers are bloated behind capacity and they're adding more. Meanwhile, teacher contracts are about to expire. I'm sure they'll be no movement there.[/quote]

I agree with this. I didn't realize it was a new position. Didn't the Wash Post just report huge deficits at DCPS? [/quote]

A mere 23 million dollars

...but sure let's hire somebody with a track record of mismanaging funds.
