Because most of the time it is racially motivated. Black folks have to work ten times as hard as other non-black folks who are mediocre. The threshold is set extremely low for non-black folks but set extremely high for black folks.
I genuinely do not think this is true in DCPS leadership.

You have Andria Caruthers who admits to ethics violations and fraud/double dipping and she just goes “oh, oops, sorry, I didn’t know” and marches on like nothing happened. So what would it be called to ask for or expect her resignation?
It’s a feature, not a bug. She worked for Relay. Now that she’s trained by Relay and employed by Relay, DCPS doesn’t need to pay for Relay. They get two for the price of one.
Ummm ok Andria. There’s more to the story. Just Google.
You don’t think DCPS keeps her because it’s financially beneficial?
DP - No, because for that to be true, Relay would have to be beneficial.
DCPS thinks it is to the point of saying we are a Relay district. So if you have someone who has all the knowledge, training, and institutional knowledge of a program, would you fire them and pay for the program or give them a (relatively) quiet slap on the wrist and get their knowledge for free? This is a no brainer if you are DCPS.
So, again, this sounds like a low bar for DCPS, not a high bar?
Absolutely. I never said it was a high bar. It just explains how DCPS justified keeping a terrible leader with documented ethics violations. Worth another thread if you want to start one but we should derail this thread.

Not the person the panel recommended. Wonder if their first choice candidate is going elsewhere or DCPS overruled them. After all their bad luck with the old principal, lame to do a panel and then not give them their first choice.
Our AP said it’s not an assignment, it’s a mutual decision. So if the panel ranks a candidate #1 but that candidate declines, it’s just the way it is.
Your AP is mistaken. Panels don't rank candidates. They don't vote. They don't even give a recommendation. They give feedback - positive and negative - for each panelist they see. And based on that, the Instructional Superintendent gives their rec to the Chancellor. The Chancellor makes the final decision.

And this is why this corrupt behavior continues. We justify everything wrong about this system.

Thats because leadership is grounded in white patriarchy so go figure.
In DC? At this time? If you want change, you have to accept it when it happens.
