[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The assignment at Waters Landing is effective July 1.[/quote]

Has MCPS said who the new principal will be for RCES?[/quote]

They can't even post the job until today since they just announced the current principal would be leaving.[/quote]

How is that a reasonable way of doing things? They should have a replacement lined up before the current principal leaves. That’s ridiculous.[/quote]

As stated earlier, the current principal isn't leaving until the end of June.[/quote]

I don’t care. That’s not enough time to find a new principal. [/quote]

Are you new here? This happens about a dozen times (at least) every year in MCPS.  The board approves principal positions, so they can't post a job before the board has approved the person.  HR has rules they have to follow, including how long a job must be posted (I think it's a week or two) before applications can be reviewed.  2 months is plenty of time to find a new principal.  How long do you think it should take?[/quote]

I’m not new here. Just because it’s the way it’s always been doesn’t mean it’s right.

Do you think 2 months is really enough time to fully evaluate what RCES needs, which candidates are able and willing to address those needs, go through the interview process, etc.? I don’t. But then again, I value thoughtfulness and thoroughness. [/quote]

I think that MCPS leadership has probably been thinking much longer than 2 months about what the school needs.  The parent input piece is a well-documented dog and pony show.  There are multiple threads on that topic.  Since the school has a principal intern, if that person is doing a decent job, it's probably their job to lose.  The community input is all for show and the central office already knows who they will be identifying for that spot.

I'm not disagreeing with you, I just know how the process works.[/quote]
