Dulaney and Franklin high schools get new principals
There's a lot of reshuffling of principals and assistant principals going on in Baltimore County. Tuesday night the school board approved the transfer of Dulaney's principal, Patrick S. McCusker, to Franklin and Lansdowne's principal, Lynda Whitlock, to Dulaney.
In the dance of the elementary school principals: Susan Smith is moving from Middlesex to Edgemere; Yasmin Stokes is moving from Powhatan to Edmondson Heights; Cheryl Jones is moving from Riverview to Middlesex; Mary Maddox is moving from Johnnycake To Riverview and David Parker is moving from Edmondson Heights to Powhatan. Stacey Durkovic, the principal at Prettyboy is going to bcome the principal at Carney and Robert Findley, principal at Edgemere, goes to Fifth District.

Why transfer an exemplary principle from Dulaney - a success story - for anyone. Why change what isn't broken? Because messing with success is what Joe Hairston is known for.

Can you post a full listing on these moves as it won't be posted to the school system's web site for at least an other month. I could file for it under freedom of information but that could take longer...

Is it possible to learn of these types of moves in Baltimore City? I was surprised to learn on this blog that BCPSS has lost over half of its principals since Alonso came to town.
Robin,
You can get them on the PEP agenda after every board meeting. They usually go up a couple of weeks after the meeting, though, and indicate which schools got new appointments. Also, I wrote an entire story about principal turnover. There will be another this year.

I am a student a Dulaney High School, and i am not satisfied with Mrs. Lynda Whitlock as principal. She is coming to a great school with deep- rooted traditions that have been a part of the schools' history for over 40 years; and she is trying to get rid of these traditions.
