[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was hoping that Janney would select a top principal after a broad search - not necessarily national but not just DC either.  And then they take someone  from down the road who doesn't even have JKLM experience.  [/quote]

You are a total and complete douche bag. As a Stoddert parent who is incredibly bummed that we're losing her it is absolutely maddening to read attitudes like this. You are so lucky to get her, in spite of yourself. I have participated in two separate rounds of principal searches, serving on the selection panel and again, you are LUCKY to have your leader lined up and ready to go now, rather than in August. She now has an opportunity to meet with the community (which she has already begun doing...aftercare meeting this week, and PTA next week) and also an opportunity to build her team and bring people in with her. You're incredibly shortsighted and are focused on criteria that mean very little. Do yourself a favor, stop our complaining and hand wringing here and go to your PTA meeting next week and meet her and then come back here and tell us how misplaced your concerns were. [/quote]
This is the 2nd post by a lutz booster that seems to be very insightful. You now know her meeting schedules... [/quote]

I was thinking the same thing.  Why is a non-Janney parent up to speed on when Janney's PTA and other meetings are?[/quote]

Because Lutz attended her last Stoddert PTA meeting last night where her move to Janney was publicly announced and in her comments she mentioned her participation at both Janney meetings. You Janney people are incredibly humorless. [/quote]

Janney parents take their kids' education pretty seriously.  There's a reason why Janney is arguably the best public school in Washington.  And Stoddert?  It lent its name to a popular NW youth rec soccer program.  At least there's that.[/quote]

Yes, yes, don't worry. You hold the corner market on caring most about your children.  Congrats.  Are you this insufferable in real life or only when cloaked in anonymity? [/quote]
