Another Rhee reform unraveled by interim DCPS chancellor

Interim D.C. Schools Chancellor Kaya Henderson reversed a key reform of her predecessor on Wednesday when she announced that she will appoint a full-time principal at Hardy Middle School in Northwest.

In a letter to parents, Henderson wrote, “The cluster model was not the right model to support Hardy MS as it embraced both a new leader and significant increase in the number of students. At this time, both Hardy MS and Hyde ES need a full-time principal to ensure that student achievement improves and sudents have an enjoyable and successful end of the school year.”
