Change the Paradigm. June 28, 2018. Search for the next permanent Chancellor of DC Public Schools (DCPS).

The leader for change in any system MAY NOT be within the system. 

Someone outside of the system that sees it from a different 21st Century solution perspective.

Ever notice that the same issues and problems arise from those within the system that goes from city to city, jurisdiction to jurisdiction?   A system can become so complex (complex-complex system) that it becomes unmanageable at some point.

CHANGE THE PARADIGM.  Think of a leader outside of the system.  A simple-simple or simple-complex system may be needed.  Just a thought.

This past school year, we faced our challenges head-on, and for the first time in reform history, took on the task of reevaluating our graduation standards. Because of all we learned this school year, we are better positioned than ever to take on long-standing challenges in our schools.  Today, to help us build on our progress, we kicked off the search for the next permanent chancellor of DC Public Schools (DCPS). As we go through this process, the community's thoughts, ideas, and concerns will be essential in helping us make the right choice for our students, our families, and DCPS.  In the weeks to come, we will host community forums, but we also ask that you submit feedback at ourschools.dc.gov. Together, we will continue to put students first, focus on equity and excellence, and have the courage to improve.  Sincerely,
