[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the more realistic explanation for her hire is:  the best talent goes where it will be treated best.  Given the poor recent treatment of Cahall and others, and consistent overall mis-management of the entire place, DCPS may not be the most attractive place to work these days.  Who the hell at mid-career goes out of their way to work at DCPS unless they're being hired for one of the top, ridiculous-salary jobs?  I'd much rather teach in MoCo or Fairfax, for example, where my work product will look good and I can rely on the system not to goof it all up.  So, you get what you get.  Unfinished phd from Cleveland State.  Good Luck, guys.[/quote]

You do have a great point.

But I can't help but think there were some more impressive candidates. Someone with a proven record of success in turning a school around. Someone with solid ideas about how to close the achievement gap or improve the graduation rate. Someone who understands the system. Someone from within? [/quote]

Yeah, but Cahall was already canned.  I doubt he submitted his name to be re-hired at the time he was applying for his (evenually) new MoCo job.[/quote]

Yeah, but Cahall was not the only game in town or the nation...or still within DCPS.  But you/the PP are correct. Seeing others treated poorly serves as a serious deterrent, especially when job security and supporting a family are important.[/quote]
