    I hate how the board moves the principals around to different schools. She will be missed from the Elementary School. This seems really unfair to her elementary students. Why is our high school so difficult?

      Because Karen Couch and others have been in office way too long and from 9th grade to 12th we have the lowest scores in the STATE OF MARYLAND…THE BOARD DOES NOT CARE !! WORTON CLOSED AND THEY KEPT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN THE HEART OF DRUG CENTER OPEN WHY??
      The Middle School is a absolutely a lost cause that hurts our children. They can’t read, write, spell but the teachers still get paid for why??

    It’s amazing how one principal was belittled and had racial comments said right to his face in front of the board members and others and then bullied to resign from his job. Teachers didn’t like him and wanted him gone. But now the same ones that wanted him out now wish they has kept their mouths shut. Because now they want him back.

    Now we have another principal that was thrown under the bus for what’s going on at the high school that was degraded and bullied into resigning also.
    All before covid 19 hit there was a difference being made in the high school. We didn’t have 4 and 5 fights a week. Our kids wasn’t scared to go to school. Now we all say the same thing, kids can’t even be safe in school anymore.
    Something needs to be done but starting with the “HEAD” then working down from there.
