[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mooney being punted to the NEC lets you know that he's really at the bottom of the barrel in the MCPS admin caste system.[/quote]

Blake's student demographics : 39% Black, 35% Hispanic, 40% economically disadvantaged. Sent him to a school where parents may not be complaining as much as they do at BCC? Hmmm ...[/quote]

Correct. They sent him to a school that MCPS has already decided to deprioritize.

B-CC is way too high profile. Way too many wealthy, connected, engaged and influential white parents who make noise.

By moving him to a part of the county that's Blacker, browner and poorer, they figure he can give them less headaches, because they've already conditioned the students, staff and parents in the NEC to have low expectations of MCPS.[/quote]

I wonder why the quick switch from Einstein to Blake?[/quote]

I don’t think he was ever going to Einstein. I think they just made a mistake and no one caught it until the email went out. [/quote]

Oh he was definitely going to Einstein. Let's just say there was a conflict of interest with the Einstein assignment that someone overlooked and only caught after the community letter was released. Typical MCPS not doing its due diligence.[/quote]

What was the conflict of interest?   [/quote]

So the central office didn’t catch the conflict thing but was able to find him a different AP principal position within a few hours? Bizarre [/quote]

I don’t understand who he was not terminated. N[/quote]

In most workplace, this sort of defamation would have resulted in terminations, but not in this school system. The fact that multiple CO staff assisted Mooney in manufacturing quotes from the teacher should have meant that several high-ranking administrators should have been held accountable as well.

All of this could have been addressed in a much different way if Mooney knew what he was doing. You have the teacher meet with students who are upset and feel disrespected, with an able school administrator present. You work through the tough issues face-to-face. The principal meets with concerned parents and talks about the processes for ensuring that their students feel welcome and respected in that classroom.

Instead, this blows up with a school-wide communication with incendiary and manufactured quotes that were manufactured by a lot of highly placed people who still have their jobs.[/quote]
