It's interesting but in her goodbye post she has so many people wishing her well but no one in central office currently wishing her well. When admins leave mcps, they are apparently dead to Dr. McKnight and close colleagues. As strategies go, that seems short-sighted to me.

Dr. Floyd-Cooper had just been promoted to associate superintendent 8 months ago, after being hired by MCPS in 2020. Now she'll become a director at the Wallace Foundation.

“Dr. Floyd-Cooper is an accomplished leader with wide experience in helping districts build data-informed systems designed to advance the professional learning of educators and improve academic outcomes for students.”
