He was neither "endearing" nor "beloved" in my eyes; hardly ever saw him since he oversaw two schools which always seemed odd to me. Why does the "best" DCPS high school in the city not deserve it's own dedicated principal? I'm actually shocked at the response as I didn't think anyone really liked him that much. The only good thing that my child says about him is he was a very strong proponent of the kids "freedoms" such as off campus lunch and the ability to be trusted to do what they need to do. They are most concerned that a new principal will take those things away. Just my two cents.

Buh-bye.

Yeah, it was a reason DCPS pulled out to justify their course of action. If true he should have been fired two years ago, when it happened.

Somehow I think making room for a F-S teacher to send her child to Pre-K at F-S is a lot different than pulling strings to get a kid in at the High School. Anyway, I think the key to whether Trogisch should be disciplined (or even fired, which would be a brutal punishment) depends on whether DCPS management learned about it for the first time, like, a week ago or had been sitting on it for over two years.

If your answer is "no," then you should consider that whoever ordered the hit on him is in deep doo-doo for violating D.C.'s Whistleblower Protection Act:

Under the D.C. WPA:

Additionally, if a supervisor retaliates against an employee because an employee engaged in protected conduct, the agency must take disciplinary action against the supervisor.

After how shameless the Henderson administration was (and I’m sure it went on before her as well), and what went down with A. Wilson, enrollment anomalies as a fireable offense is a good precedent.

You avoiding the question.

Since Trogisch came on his goal has been to pack SWW with wealthy students. It is why they always ask students (and their families) where else they are looking. If it is a private, you basically have a slot. If it is Wilson, you probably have a slot. The rest are toss ups. After all, wealthier, better prepared students keep the metrics up.

Trogisch has been fighting against transparency and efforts to add diversity to the school for a bit under a decade. Apparently DCPS found a reason to finally fire him. We should be glad.

My DS who has learning disabilities is now a sophomore in college. The quote above is exactly what was happening to his cohort when it was their turn for high school admission. Privae school offer - come to Walls. Toss up between Wilson and Walls, we have space.

Trogisch told the audience at an open house we attended that IRP support services were limited and that applicants would not make the cut, saying that the students could not keep up. Yes, for him, it was always about the metrics.

OK. SWW is a school for a specific type of student. So what?

It's a public school, idiot. That's the 'what.'

It's a selective magnet school, not your neighborhood school. Idiot.

Still public. Try again dummy.
