[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Ideally they would have the new principal hired before July 1, but even that is not mandatory. If they're in place by late July/beginning of August that can work too. It happens every year.[/quote]

What does “work” mean? If “work” is defined as the best solution for the students and faculty, then great. But if “work” means there’s a warm body in the job, then no - that doesn’t work.

And again — I don’t care what happens every year. [/quote]

My point was that, let's say for the sake of argument they do take a little longer with the process to get this position filled, that they don't need to rush to get everything finalized by July 1. In prior instances some new principals have had start dates a little later in the summer.[/quote]
