Lisa Shorts said at a recent Eastern MS PTSA meeting that she planned to retire from Eastern in the next few years, spending out her career there. What is up with this? Sorry for Eastern- great principal.


She’s not gonna speak about her plans publicly. Schools like Banneker either get a first-time/young principal or one of the very best principals available - it’s a big challenge. Maybe she just needed a change. And she also lives closer to Banneker.


You're right, she didn't have to talk about her plans publicly, but she volunteered the information. I guess Central Office came to her subsequent to her remarks and she is making this change.

The Principal Intern at Eastern will probably become acting or permanent. Very interested in who will get Argyle & Pyle.

So tired of mediocre people getting moved up to leadership positions. I hope if they do become principals, then they are truly seen as what they are.

If you do too well, you will be moved.
