Don't assume the recommended candidate was/is a KH sycophant. As stated above, there were 20 candidates (that is quite a lot) and the recommendation was unanimous. If all 20 were disliked, the committee could have recommended "no selection" and waited another year, which has happened before.

just out of curiosity, and to better understand the process: who are the 20 people (not names obviously) and how and by whom were they selected?

I don't see anything "right" about a scripted outcome! Why shouldn't parent, teachers, etc. be involved??

This is the way it should be. During our principal selection it became apparent that some of the interested/invested parties expected to be much more of a part of candidate selection and decision making process. I'm glad DCPS appears to be doing this process right.

Well, the panel of 20 thought that the person was qualified. I'm curious as to what qualifications you think might be lacking?

DCUM is like the game "Telephone." What is said, and what people hear and then pass down the line are never the same .

Didn't say that. Said a committee of 20 interviewed 3. Could have been a group presentation.

Wilson Twitter account tweeted the following yesterday:
"PTSO meeting: about 20 people interviewed 3 finalists today for next Wilson principal. Committee recommended 1 candidate unanimously."

"Final decision from @HendersonKaya will be in 2 weeks. It is hoped because unanimous recommendation that announcement will be sooner."

I have a sinking suspicion that it will be a toadie to kaya whoever gets selected as principal. She wants to break the school and community after what happened this year. no way it will get to be an open-minded, independent leader that we need.
