Julian Pineda was not only a terrible, unqualified principal at OA, he is a bad person. He is a dishonest, disrespectful, and cowardly person. The only think he is good at is spinning BS. He reminded me a lot of the former congressman, George Santos.

Was the a news article about what happened that MCPS parents can send to the BOE? Cannot send them links to DCUM...

This is so frustrating. I have seen up close and personal how mcps does not do a great job of vetting their applicants for principal or vice principal and this is one of the more extreme situations

It is a thread now in MCPS schools. They are very unhappy about this hire.

Please share info with MCPS parents: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1207334.page

My sympathies for Roscoe R. Nix Elementary School families. Pineda was a terrible principal at O-A. Hopefully, he learned something from his O-A experience and he does a MUCH better job at your school.

I think he can look good on paper. I'm sorry to hear this news for that elementary school. He shouldn't be a principal anywhere, it's not where his skills lie.

For those who are wondering, Mr Pineda managed to land on his feet.
He is the new principal of Roscoe R. Nix Elementary School in MCPS.

I guess he switched districts after burning bridges in DCPS. I’m not sure I can see him as a elementary school principal.
