[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...so....I take all the back and forth to mean that the answer is no, Mary Siddall has never been a principal or even a teacher, and moreover doesn't need some silly certification.  So if those credentials are cast aside regarding who will head our new DC-taxpayer funded charter school, what are the future head's credentials?[/quote]

Astute interpretation.

As time goes on, look for more sophisticated attempts to convince parents of high-achieving students that the staff of BASIS is inherently superior to any other school even though or even because the staff lacks previous teaching experience or credentials.  Don't be surprised if the BASIS interviewing process is held up as highly competitive and vastly superior to anything in the public or private domain.

The point is to fill the  applicant pool with students who are already thriving in school and have strong parental support.  This would be a good outcome for any school, but shouldn't be done using falsehoods and fear tactics.  Exclusionary practices have no place in a public school[/quote]
