She could be tapped to be an acting director or an acting principal if they have trouble filling all the vacancies in time. But maybe she actually wants to retire!
Seriously, after dealing with the parents. Geez. Let her retire.
Hold onto your hats folks because more announcements are coming.
And McKnight will get to fill all of them, unfortunately. Doesn’t matter her whole new process or action plan, still boils down to her having the final day of the 2 candidates presented to her by acting directors and assoc supers. Huge conflict of interest
Will they have enough QUALIFIED administrators to fill all the vacancies? There were 19 vacancies in December. There will be at least 7 more.

I was so sad to hear this- parent of two Blair kids and an incoming 9th grader. I was hoping she’d last til my youngest left!

The board can prevent that.

Ms Deeny (formerly of TPMS) would be a good choice.

Or could it be that McK is on way out so they will allow the next Super to fill all positions? Probably won't happen that quickly though.

With Johnson retiring, the two longest-serving HS principals will be Beth Thomas at QO and Cary Dimmick at Gaithersburg, who were both appointed in 2018.
Forgot one: Dodd also started at Whitman in 2018.
What about Alicia Deeny at Richard Montgomery?
She came from TPMS late in the pandemic.

Many of the ones who are retiring were principals for longer than six years, including Johnson.

And public schools in general. It's sucks to be in the culture wars' crosshairs.
