[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think that 4 years is a super fast turnover. I'd say that's pretty normal. People get sick of jobs and bosses and coworkers all the time. [/quote] In most jobs, yes. But as a principal of a school, I think that's pretty quick. [b]Schools like this are almost always going to get first-time principals. [/b] It takes them two years, minimum, to learn the job: how to deal with individual teachers and staff, the union, parents with wildly differing expectations, curriculum changes, testing, hundreds of kids, the neighbors. Throw in multiple school renovations just for fun. By the time they get their feet set, someone is calling for a change in leadership. C'est la vie. [/quote] This is the problem. There's a lot of work to do at SES and it's not a job for a first timer. We need someone with the experience to hit the ground running. [/quote] 4 years is a very long tenure for a DCPS principal.
