[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boy this thread has really taken a very unhelpful detour.  As a current JR parent, I find the conversation between one prospective parent and the Principal Brown at his old school pretty much irrelevant.  DCPS schools really are not built to woo prospective families.  Especially the MS and HS level are pretty much "don't bother me until you are an enrolled family."  That was our experience with Principal Martin at Wilson.  It was pretty frustrating as a prospective family, but also had nothing to do with how she performed as a principal.

JR is a large diverse school that would benefit from a seasoned well-organized administrator.  I'm glad that he has experience from within the DCPS system because it can really take a long time for an outside to learn how things work in DCPS central.  I expect that he will find a warm welcome from a community that is looking forward to working with him.[/quote]

I'd meet him, talk to him, watch what he does before you get your hopes up like this.  It doesn't take much interaction to figure out that he's not the brightest, or most open-minded, bulb in the DCPS HS chandelier.  It just doesn't bode well for JR community that he hasn't given a hoot if he attracts IB UMC families to Eastern in the last 7 or 8 years.[/quote]
