That would make sense. I’m sure that situation was stressful and upsetting, whether or not she felt supported by central office. I remember Dr. Goodwin at Whitman decided to retire after a few tragic student deaths. It’s a hard job. That whole incident could have been the straw that broke the camel’s back. Good for her. She’s a human being and can quit her job just like anyone else if it isn’t working for her anymore. Too bad for the school though. [/quote]

Too bad.for mcps. Good principals leaving because mcps is running a clown show.

Bad principals being promoted despite known serious offenses.  The board needs to be cleared out. It's rotten.[/quote]
You know Mrs Baker personally, and her reasons for leaving? [/quote]

She was one of the better principals with a long tenure. In order for a "company man" (yes woman in this case) to leave suddenly, versus waiting until the end of the year, something happened.
Since her email did not mention illness, as many often do when that is the reason, it's fairly safe to rub your 2 brain cells together and figure it out.

I wouldnt send my children to the MCPS of today and I certainly don't blame her for leaving it. [/quote]

In other words, no, you don't know her reasons for leaving.[/quote]

Why does it matter? I am grateful that she served as long as she did and that MCPS will hire a highly qualified replacement with no history of misconduct. [/quote]

It matters if you make up false stories about people, you apparently respect. WTF is wrong with you. She’s 60 years old. She wants to retire leave her alone.[/quote]

Tf is wrong with YOU? She did a student interview last MAY  wherein she said was not ready to retire. Fast forward to the beginning of the school year and she's retiring after the start of school?
You sound like a central office clown who's trying to downplay whata going on in the disaster zone of a school district.[/quote]

She had no obligation to tell the student newspaper or anyone else outside of her family that she was looking to retire. It's not official until she put her paperwork in. The paperwork is in, hence the announcement. She also shouldn't have to continue to put other people vegore her own family when she no longer wants to. The end.[/quote]

+1 I think the mostly likely scenario is that she "hit her 30" or whatever and was ready for the next phase. Note that the retirement situation can be a little complicated for people who've been with MCPS for a while due to the aforementioned union negotiations and stuff, so she might not have known her exact date until she did a meeting with the retirement specialists and received her official date. [/quote]

Except she has not hit thirty yet. She started in the county in 1995 as a teacher at WJ.[/quote]

People can retire whenever they want to - 30+ years or less. Personal decision.  Like another poster said - the end![/quote]

I know. I was just responding to someone who said she probably hit 30. [/quote]
