[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just heard from an insider friend at central. There is complete chaos behind the scenes. Mayor is pulling all the strings. Principals are furious and feel powerless. They are scared to push back at all after the Walls principal was fired. [/quote]

Not surprising. Feel free to keep us updated as you hear things...[/quote]

Very true, my own principal is super transparent with staff. But she got an email saying DO NOT SHARE. Principals are being told not to share, perhaps for fear of reprimand...

The mayor and chancellor are getting ridiculous, I thought this was a blue city? Since when do we like dictatorships? [/quote]

There are ongoing WTU negotiations that directly affect teachers. Principals can't say anything while that process is underway.[/quote]

Teachers haven't been told assignments yet because of the WTU lawsuit. They were required to pull back the survey that led to the assignments. It's not even really clear what that means or what the point is, because the data is accurate and so they actually can base assignments off of it even if they pull it back. That said, it is a total litigation headache, so it would be much better for all parties involved if DCPS and WTU reached some kind of agreement at least w/r/t that aspect, because then it doesn't matter what the judgment actually says/means.

Right now, teachers don't have information because of the WTU and only because of the WTU. I don't necessarily blame the WTU for their lawsuit -- I mean, they won, it turns out the mayor didn't fulfill her obligations so how mad can I be at WTU for point that out -- but it is actually leading to worse results for teachers at the moment and overall if they end up going ahead anyway (because they'll now have less warning re: their assignments). That said, if it ultimately stops this plan, then it was obviously a tactical win. So we'll see.[/quote]
