[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked with him in two schools and he was always positive and wanted only the best for kids. While he sometimes confronted teachers about how they were teaching and got pushback he never was sexually inappropriate with anyone. This allegation that is being made is truly unfounded and libel. I was very involved in both schools and there were no reports about that ever made.

He didn’t always handle every situation best but his intentions I believe were always good. There were staff who wanted to be left alone and not consider his feedback and they became very defensive and confrontational.

I think it is sad that someone who went through due process and the courts and was cleared to return isn’t being given a fair chance to do his job that he’s devoted his life to doing.

Because there are just too many red flags here. And when you’re dealing with a job like an elementary school administrator, you have to err on the side of caution. Like it or not, he’s got baggage that will impact his ability to do his job well. Even you note that he hasn’t handled situations appropriately. There are enough people, staff and parents, that are questioning his performance. It’s a job that requires a greater level of trust than a lot of other positions. MCPS should just put him in a central office position. [/quote]

This really sounds like an employee that has an axe to grind against a former boss.[/quote]

Not even close. I’ve never met the guy.  I’m actually an administrator in another jurisdiction and understand what it takes to do the job. If you don’t have the trust of the community, you’re dead in the water. Unfortunately, he’s always going to have someone wondering when he’s going to blow up. They’re going to question every move he makes with a student. He’s going to struggle under that pressure. It’s not fair to him or the community. Again, put him in a central office position for at least a year or two. Then maybe he can return to a school-based position. [/quote]

Oh, in that case we should definitely go with the poster that knows nothing about the person or the case, and who isn't even in our school district. That makes a ton of sense and doesn't scream an irrational grudge at all.[/quote]

Actually it’s a quite measured response. What’s irrational is this blind allegiance you’re clinging to in post after post. Anyone posting something negative about him has to be a disgruntled employee.

What’s getting in the way of you seeing that this isn’t the position for him right now? He’s damaged goods as far as being a school administrator. You may not think that’s fair, and that’s okay. But it is the reality of the situation. [/quote]
