What a loss for DCPS and for Deal! But she certainly has the right stuff to move to a wider arena.

I love that she is going to a pro-charter organization. Definitely needed on the middle school level!

DCPS principal is a thankless job that has gotten only more challenging with the advent of IMPACT and the amount of time it takes from a principal's day.

It's a sad day for DCPS, but I'm sure Kim will be better compensated for working far fewer and less stressful hours. She did a lot of good for students in DCPS and even though we didn't get a spot in the school, I've always been very impressed by Kim and Deal.

I wish her the best of luck.

I also received the email from Kim. But, if you need to see it in the Post, check Bill Turque's Twitter feed.

Very disappointing. She's going to work for New Schools Venture Fund and will hopefully use her expertise to improve or create other outstanding middle schools in other wards.

What a disappointment. Didn't someone here recently predict that the best principals would be leaving DCPS?
