DC Public Schools to replace 18 principals

The District is quietly replacing 18 of its public school principals, most of whom were hired by former Chancellor Michelle Rhee to turn around the schools.
DC Public Schools spokeswoman Melissa Salmanowitz declined to say how many of the 18 principals were retiring, resigning or being fired.
But parents told The Washington Examiner that several principals, including Rhee appointees at Garrison Elementary School and Shaw Middle School at Garnet-Patterson, were terminated. Shaw's principal, Kimberly Douglas, was selected by Rhee after the 2010 murder of popular Principal Brian Betts.
