[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They do every other kind of data collection and survey in the book - Does MCPS really not do anonymous leadership survey/evaluation?[/quote]

The Viers Mill ES PTA did an anonymous survey of their own which they emailed to all of the staff last fall when there were many signs/concerns that the new principal was not a good fit for the school.  A majority of the staff completed the survey and the results (which indicated many were considering leaving the school) were given to central at a requested meeting. It also gave staff the support/validation they needed to contact their unions.  At the end of the year he resigned.

I have not heard that story, but good for the parents for taking steps to protect their school. It should be done by central MCPS but I am pretty certain it is not. This is why parents should sit up and pay attention and ask questions before the good staff members leave. They do have the ability to help. The Viers Mill PTA was pretty creative, actually.

I teach there.  It was a brilliant move, and I think it saved a lot of staff from leaving.  We were hopeful that things might change, and the higher-ups were pretty responsive.  I know I answered that I was considering leaving, but after the results came out and the ball started rolling, I decided to stay at least another year to see what happened.  And I'm glad, because I really love the students and families in that community.[/quote]
