Creed was hired to replace D’Adamo but was just appointed to acting Executive Director to replace Terry.

Is Amy Creed replacing Werner or Lora D’Adoma who I thought was also retiring (Director of Specialized Instructional Program and a direct report to Werner along with Dr. Erin Stone).

I saw the Creed announcement a few months back but didn’t think it was for Werner’s position.


I think her new permanent position is replacing Lora D'Adoma, but she's "acting" up to Werner's job?

Based on last year’s org chart, this is D’Adoma’s role, not Werner.

Werner is retiring but is still in the position until the end of the month.

I would say the problem with ACPS specialized instruction department is their focus is not on whether students with disabilities are actually educated but rather asserting legal positions on the minimum amount of services they legally need to provide under IDEA.

Not sure about whether a hiring decision was made but Werner, I believe, is still in the position until 8/31.

Does anyone have any info on why Terry Werner’s replacement has yet to be announced? I know some of the staff had a meet-and-greet with the 3 finalists a few months ago but have heard nothing since.
