Huge loss to Northwood and the Silver Spring community. Very respected former teacher at SSIMS. There was some hope he would get Blair.

Big pickup for Wootton.


Agree. He's fantastic and will be missed.

As a parent, we have not even been notified the principal is on leave or fired or that there is an interim principal coming in. So this is all concerning.

I too want to know what incidences that the media is saying happened this year that caused this. To just say well he is being put on leave because of multiple things this year? Why so vague?



Have you reached out to the Wootton PTSA? They were notified of the principal being put on leave by MCPS officials.


Well I have a big issue if news about a principal being put on leave was only told to the PTSA of a school. The front office has no comment. This is so MCPS-coded. What an absolute mess


Reach out to Peter Moran with your concerns and complaints. Or Dr. Taylor if you want.

How is this the PTA’s issue. They are a bunch of volunteer parents. Why would they be the only ones informed.

This sounds made-up


The PTA and MCCPTA are literally written into MCPS policies as being the official voice and conduit for parent feedback and notifications. If you don't like it, take it up with MCPS.

But by virtue of telling PTSA leadership, I believe MCPS feels they fulfilled their part of notifying "the parent community."

I bet the principal followed MCPS policy. But MCPS CO didn't respond, and now they have to have a fall guy, and this principal drew the short stick. This is the MCPS way.


Sounds likely.

But basically Wootton students are unable to check their privilege and have been causing problems by singling people of color for harassment, Jewish people for harassment, and gay people for harassment.

But it’s a W school so therefore it’s great.


Hilarious. I’m at non-W school and do you know how many kids use the N word on a daily basis?

Central Office is actively participating in this thread, but instead of giving answers, continue to gaslight. Shameful and predictable...
Why don't you just share accurate information with the community?

The fact that you minimize scrawling the n-word on the desk of a Black student while they're away as a "kid being a brat" speaks volumes about you and your values.

Do you categorize sexual harassment as "boys just being boys" too?

No, he did not.


The only way you could know that for a fact would be if you work in MCPS Central Office...
