Okay, Nikyea...I mean, Powell Parent.

So is it true? Are you the new principal over at Leckie and James is really out? Or did you simply come in here to defend your name on principle?

Terminations never require a nondisclosure for the employee. Of course, employees don't care to blab about why they were fired-especially if they did nothing wrong. And the teachers would not be under a gag order either.
Just discovered the school is in south DC. That explains a lot. Nobody gives a damn about what happens to the kids over there.

The new Wilson principal on the other hand had several multi-page threads before she even boarded her plane from Colorado. It's no wonder James was able to get away with screwing others over for so long. I'll bet she became careless and drunk with her own power and slipped up and stole from the kids--LOTS of $. That's the only thing that would make DCPS get rid of a horrible bully leader.


Meant to say they don't care to blab especially if they DID something wrong.

Maybe Henderson feels she made her & wants to take her along with her wherever she's going. *shrugs*

Well it's a shame Principal James was so nasty to her teachers because they seem to be a good lot. Not one has come on here and bad mouthed her. I can't think of any other principal whose name came up on dcurbanmom who wasn't eviscerated by those who've worked with them.

So maybe she WAS a poster child?

Or maybe her teachers were a great lot who take the high road?

Someone should go to an open house and snoop for an answer.

I think people should protest. I feel sorry for her new staff and students. This cannot end well.

Two threads and several pages and still no one knows what happened to the Leckie principal. Is there anyone out there who knows?

Agreed. She had a 3year contract and DCPS adored her. Fishy.

Another Powell parent here. Not surprised by the stories of her past leadership roles. She wasn't impressive at Powell, and always came across in a snarky fashion. Given who Powell got for a Principal, and the fact Ms. Wilson got another Principal role, I would say the principal pipeline in DCPS is pretty dry.

This applies to Ms. Wilson. She was fired a few years ago from a charter school in DC.


I had no idea of her troubled past. DCPS must be really desperate.

Signed, Powell parent
