Hey, that’s just like when she worked for ACPS- nobody really knew what she did other than cause good teachers to leave.

Who is this person?

Is this the current ACPS school board member and former ACPS employee?

The one who laughed about the hispanic community in her district on that silly democratic establishment podcast where they all get drunk?

We have a current ACPS school board member in Syphax paid by APS? How is this allowed?

She started getting paid over the summer to help the new principal "transition." Why, she doesn't work in APS? What is she helping him with? It is now January and she is still getting paid hourly to be at Wakefield.

That’s the one- the one who if her husband wasn’t a beloved first responder would have been laughed out of the area 20 years ago.

You mean Syphax? So he brings several of his ACPS connections into the central office?

Who exactly is this person?

This is a transition year, and he is trying his best with what he has. His new assistant principals need support from Syphax.

There are issues with bathrooms and attendance, but those problems were present before he got there.

APS did a poor job with explaining how teacher observations work to the new administrators. The rumor is that many teachers were unnecessarily placed on formal observations regardless of performance or if they were on a non-summative year. I’m not sure if this accurate or not, but that is what I heard.

Yes, but I haven’t met this person before. No one knows who this person is or what their role is.

Is the consultant still on the APS payroll?

How so?

Did they ever speak publicly about the lastest overdose on Wednesday or Thursday?

This thread is about Balas as principal. Thread about OD at Wakefield here
