What did she do in MCPS? I have never heard of her before.[/quote]

Both she and Sarah Sirgo were two of the directors in OSSI, supervising the schools in several clusters.[/quote]

Webster was a smart cookie, but she wasn't exactly a champion of the people -- OSSI's role appears to be more to back up principals in their feifdoms than to conduct proper oversight/make schools properly responsive to community needs. [/quote]

Webster was a principal before that. She was a great principal at Pyle before she became principal of Damascus. Pyle was much stronger back then. Sarah Sirgo was an excellent elementary principal. Her staff loved her. Both were unhappy with the direction MCPS was headed. It’s a bad sign that those two left. It gave me some peace of mind knowing that they were there to push back. I thought they’d stay forever. They were part of the fabric of MCPS, and the fabric is tearing. This is what happens when the BOE doesn’t listen to staff. They ignored two votes of no confidence from both principals and teachers. This is on them.[/quote]

I think you are overthinking things.  She clearly got a promotion by going to WCPS.  She did this for her own career goals.  There is a good chance she will move to be a full superintendent in a few years in another county. Might even come back to MCPS eventually.[/quote]

Would say it's more than overthinking, they sound unhinged. People change jobs all the time. I wouldn't read that much into  it.[/quote]

Oh it's the "unhinged" poster. Far from it. I'm guessing you know haven't had a conversation with her. Attacking the messenger doesn't change the fact that she wanted to leave.[/quote]

No not really. She sounds really cray-cray. Inventing these conspiracies to justify her grievances.[/quote]

Cray cray poster is a troll. Anyone who actually works in central office knows they couldn’t wait to get out of there. [/quote]
