[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely a rough go for the staff I’m sure. Any idea what their plan is?

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like the new AP that was hired a few months ago just left too...[/quote]

Took a principal job in PGCPS. Seems like she’d been checked out for a little while. I wasn’t impressed so I don’t think it’s any great loss, but damn the school can’t get a break.[/quote][/quote]

AP by leadership committee. Head of special education moving, just for the year, into the “director” position? (Assume it is some kind of DCPS requirement that the school has an AP or Director given how it was explained.) Plan is to hold the job for the internal candidate (who has sort of been acting as a quasi-AP/ the source of institutional knowledge already) who isn’t in the pool yet. Interim principal committed to working with her to get her qualified; not exactly sure wha the requirements are/what she’s lacking. Internal candidate is heavily favored by teachers and parents, so if this all works out, it would be a very good way for the interim principal to ingratiate herself with the school. That said, in the interim, the school is basically officially in only her hands and I can’t say she’s started off on the best foot with parents. We’ll see.[/quote]

There was some lawsuit with DCPS where assistant principals were being cut out of budgets but not “fired” so DC is required to find a position for them since they weren’t “fired”. I think that’s how the new AP ended up at Ludlow and instead of getting another external AP, the school decided to create the Director position to help the interim principal. The plan for this year sounds like the best option. If it’s the special education person I’m thinking of, he seems pretty good. Kids like him[/quote]
