[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Observation here. If Carrie Broquard was as bad as they say she is, then why has she been appointed to a new school versus being voted out like they did the former principal at Hardy or Eaton?[/quote]

She was only bad in the eyes of the lunatic fringe of Lafayette parents, who suddenly did not have a principal they could boss around. Now, the lunatic fringe is quite large at Lafayette, and they make all sorts of absurd demands, but DCPS central office clearly pays them no mind. [/quote]

Although I think your statement is partially true, the staff turnover at Lafayette is pretty astounding and suggests to me that it’s not just the challenging parents who are ready for an admin change.[/quote]

If we're grading schools by staff turnover, I don't think Lafayette is an outlier among DCPS schools. All schools are having major problems with that.[/quote]

Look at where the Lafayette teachers have gone, Janney, murch, shepherd, staying in dcps going to schools with similar populations, that is a result of bad admin.[/quote]

Teachers leave one DCPS school for another DCPS school all the time. Again, Lafayette is not an outlier, you just didn't like the principal because she wouldn't bend to your screeching.[/quote]

This is just not true. This has only happened at our Capitol Hill DCPS four times in recent memory that I can think of and every time it was a position possibly on the chopping block with budget cuts (2nd PE x 2, library pre-council edict, classroom teacher being forced to move roles). Teachers who had job security and would have retained the same position? I can seriously think of zero that have moved to another DCPS. One just almost did, it was a bit of a scandal and the admin convinced him to stay.[/quote]
