[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a situation where I really would’ve wanted Dr. Sarah Sirgo to stay in MCPS. She was a great principal and cluster director, very motivational in her words, respected across the system. Now she’s a Chief of Staff for FCPS (following Dyson) bc their deputy superintendent is out the door soon, stewing over not getting the superintendency permanently. She obviously wants to succeed him in a couple of years.

MCPS has to do a better job with leadership and succession planning. They’ve lost so much since COVID. Who would even want this associate superintendent role?[/quote]

She was one of the few people in central office I thought did a good job. [/quote]

I loved her. She saw the mess MCPS was becoming, saw that McKnight probably didn’t think of her favorably (for whatever reason she’s always had her own inner circle), and decided to become an advisor to a superintendent in a calm county politically while protecting her future. What a great job of playing the game and rightfully focusing on your own ambitions while doing right by kids.[/quote]

Sirgo will be a superintendent within the next 5-7 years. Definitely watching out for her[/quote]

I’m sure she is strategizing for that ultimate promotion. But that only highlights what is wrong with the MCPS administration gene pool. Constantly looking for their next promotion instead of focusing on a long term plan to make schools better.[/quote]

You can have an eye on the next thing and still make a difference for kids. She did both.[/quote]
