[quote=Anonymous]The information on this blog is ignoring the other issue raised by The Washington Post article. Does anyone have information on whether Trogisch was subject to any disciplinary action?

"In 2019, Trogisch came under fire for making changes to the School Without Walls admissions process without following city protocol. School leaders had rolled out a pilot program in the hopes of enrolling a more diverse student body that reflects the socioeconomic and racial demographics of the city.

School leaders said they told parents at events and enrollment fairs about the pilot program but, in a violation of city rules, never documented the changes in published materials or on the DCPS website. City leaders were concerned that only certain families were informed of the changes and that not everyone had a fair shot of applying.

So the city rolled back the pilot program while the admissions process was underway, disqualifying students who thought they would be eligible to attend the school under the pilot program.

At a hearing on the admissions process, D.C. Council member David Grosso (I-At large), who chairs the council’s Education Committee, placed the blame on Trogisch. “It’s unfortunate for the families that relied on him,” Grosso said at the time.

The school system on Wednesday did not answer questions about whether Trogisch was under investigation for how he handled changes to the admission process and would not say whether he faced any disciplinary action. "[/quote]
