Central office should be a rotational assignment where a teacher goes for a few years. Bureaucracy should never be a career.

Can you list the high schools please?
Clarksburg
Magruder
Paint Branch
Seneca Valley
Walter Johnson
Wheaton
Who is in line to get the Walter Johnson position? Are any of these truly open or are most going to principal interns and interims?

This. Teachers should be paid significantly more than admins. Then things would start to change.
This is hilarious. Admin don’t even have duty hours in their contract because the expectation is they are working way beyond 40 hours a week.
The first time a teacher was told now you have to stay past your contractual 2:45/3:15 duty day because you now get admin pay, there would be a riot.
lol… you’re not even hiding it now. We get. You’re a principal and you hate your life. You probably were a terrible teacher. So sorry you have to have to stay until 5 while not actually doing anything.

Yea this isn’t true and a myopic view of Administration (or management generally).
Know how everyone now knows you’re admin. Or worse… not in education at all but pretend to be. Goodbye!
And yet others have agreed that it wasn’t a true statement. See how everyone knows you’ve never been in management.
lol DP… literally no one agreed with you. You’re definitely admin and probably terrible at your job, hence the defensive stance. Seek some help.
He/she agreed with themselves. Completely embarrassing and definitely admin who couldn’t handle the classroom. Everyone knows this to be true. Check out teachers Reddit. We found the guy/girl with the most fragile ego.
