I am not a teacher and am a frequent critic of the WTU. But this seems like an eminently reasonable request. Teachers ought to have advanced notice (where possible) if there is to be a leadership change.

Teachers have to notify dcps by April 1st if they are planning to stay without being penalized. It’d be nice to know who admin will be next year in order to make a decision.

Last year they didn’t announce it until mid/late June.

But then where will the 2 kids who are at grade level get their math education?

The principal who was removed or put on leave was absolutely horrible.

Takoma principal announced his contact was renewed. I don’t think this is in any way a surprise.

There’s no way principals are getting removed as the last quarter of the school year begins unless they’ve done something so egregious like showing up to school drunk.

The decisions are for next school year.

Probably not until the last possible minute. SMH

When will they tell the parents?

No, I think it’s for next year, but perhaps depending on the circumstances, it could be effective immediately.

I know that Deal; Jackson-Reed; Banneker; SWW all retained.

On Friday DCPS made several key decisions about principals’ tenure in DCPS.

Some were retained, reassigned, while others were fired.

Does anyone know the results of which schools lost/retained/reassigned which principals and to where?
