They’ll probably find an interim person who’s either in central office already or is retired. Then there’ll be a comprehensive search by July 1st for an existing principal, etc. How do you know Jones got it?

Another unhinged nutjob longing for a past that never was...


Sorry, I was referring to chicken little posting about Frederick... not the PP.

If she was that high up, all she did was work on the anti-racist audit. That seems to be the only focus at the top right now.


McKnight seems to only see the World in terms of Black and White?

We need a new Superintendent.

Same parent posted a pic of their kid during the pandemic asleep instead of on Zoom for classes and tried to blame the district. Wake your kid up and get them to school. Taking pictures of you being completely ineffective as a parent and then proceeding to blame others… then doing it years later. I’m a parent to 5 kids in MCPS. If they don’t get to school, that’s not on leadership, that’s on me.


YES.

She was a great principal and cluster director, very motivational in her words, respected across the system. Now she’s a Chief of Staff for FCPS (following Dyson) bc their deputy superintendent is out the door soon, stewing over not getting the superintendency permanently. She obviously wants to succeed him in a couple of years.

MCPS has to do a better job with leadership and succession planning. They’ve lost so much since COVID. Who would even want this associate superintendent role?


She was one of the few people in central office I thought did a good job.


I loved her. She saw the mess MCPS was becoming, saw that McKnight probably didn’t think of her favorably (for whatever reason she’s always had her own inner circle), and decided to become an advisor to a superintendent in a calm county politically while protecting her future. What a great job of playing the game and rightfully focusing on your own ambitions while doing right by kids.


Sirgo will be a superintendent within the next 5-7 years. Definitely watching out for her

She will increase SPED graduation rates! And part the Red Sea again!

Just look at what the last MCPS bigwig under McKnight was able to accomplish in Frederick county when she left MCPS in under a year!

https://www.fcps.org/about/news/1761370/frederick-county-public-schools-releases-2022-graduation-and-dropout-rates


The new FCPS superintendent started in July 1, 2022. This data is from the Class of 2022, which ended in June, so it’s from her predecessor, who was the acting super and is now the deputy. She hasn’t had her first full graduating class yet. Even if she did, the data holds steady and is actually better than MCPS. What’s your point?
