Message from Cluster VI Assistant Superintendent
SangsterES [SangsterEs.KeepInTouch@fcps.edu]

Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2013 4:01 PM

A message from SANGSTER ES

Dear Sangster Community,
Mr. Christopher Summers has resigned as principal of Sangster Elementary effective Friday, September 6, 2013. An acting principal will be named as soon as possible. Ms. Allison Jankovich and Ms. Addison Smith will continue to serve as assistant principals at Sangster.
I have every confidence that these excellent educators will provide strong and capable support and leadership for students, parents, and staff at Sangster Elementary.
As more information becomes available, you can expect to hear from me. We anticipate only great outcomes for the new school year and thank you for your continued support of Sangster Elementary School.

Sincerely,
Angela Atwater, Ed.D.
Assistant Superintendent, Cluster 6

I thought is was VERY odd (bothersome) that the school principal "wasn't able to attend" the Open House 5 days before school started.

Could be many legit reasons for this, but this totally smacks of an investigation. Either way the timing just, well...sucks. First week of school and principal resigns...not exactly a way to promote confidence.

I agree it was odd that he wasn't there. Also strange:

1. Creating a new second grade and kindergarten the week before school starts.
2. Bus issues with overcrowding
3. Building new modulars on the school property while school is in session. These are always done during the summer.

Its like everything was a surprise?! Possibly:

A. Incompetency in the school admin - but I discount that since the turnover is very low -- high turnover is the usual sign of poor admin.

or

B. Maybe the cluster office is totally incompetent and Mr. Summers didn't tink he could succeed so he resigned in protest or had some choice words for the cluster and now he is out.

or

C. Some unlawful act (I hope not)

Either way, I am hoping that the new admin can come in and clean things up, including hiring the new 2nd grade teacher and getting transport squared away.

Teachers are added anytime until the end of sept. (they can also be taken away!) all is due to enrollment. Glad Sangster is on the adding end. I heard CR got a new teacher this week too and orange hunt is adding a kindergarten class. Being out on admin leave most likely means (to me) he was involved in something. However, who knows. They won't tell us, I would be shocked if we found out.

Let's be honest here though, elementary school administration is not difficult. I am sure the assistant principals will be able to pick up the slack. In this case, it is even better as the assistant principals were running the show past two weeks with back to school activities.

Seriously Steve? It is our business as it is our children's education and if he was put on administrative leave for something dangerous or illegal we should know about it. He does appear to be a good guy and I do hope everything works out for him.

As for elementary school administration not being difficult you can't possibly work in education or have much concern for children or work in leadership development. It takes a great variety of skills and leadership abilities to be a good elementary school principal.

There's no record in the arrest search, and the fact that Atwater says that "we won't be reading about it in the newspaper" means he wasn't a kid-fiddler or doing some other crime that would result in his arrest, because we absolutely would be reading about that in the newspaper.

The "getting the support of his family" line leads me to believe it's a drugs or alcohol problem.

Kind of a sad end for the career for someone who was nominated for outstanding first year principal.

Chris was a fellow teacher at Rachel Carson MS with me about 5 years ago, before going the administrative route. He was a great teacher and extremely popular with the students. Knowing Chris I am 100% sure no kids were ever in danger at the school, and if they were the parents would have been notified. There is no need to pry here. Trust me.

Sad to see him go. He was a great principal. This is our second FCPS school experience and the first principal (I will not name) was really bad.

I really think that there should be some explanation though...it isnt right to keep parents wondering whether or not they were dealing with a person who cannot be trusted with children.

Was he paid to keep quiet and leave????

This is why we can't attract real talent to the field of education. If what happened with Mr. Summers was any real problem it would have made the news. Like the Asst. Sup. said this is a personal decision. Meaning none,of anybodies business. Anybody ever quit a job before? Tell your boss why, you don't have to explain it to hundreds of people. If anything thislis a great time to teach your children that life is full of change and move on. Endless gossiping does nothing but waste time.

As a parent, we should know some form or other a reason behind a sudden departure. Didn't he just went to China as FCPS rep on some sort of educational trip over the summer?

I had the similar experience with Cherry Run and ever since CR is on the path to downhill starting with eliminating the AAP program 2-3 years ago. I sincerly hope Sangster can keep the advance curriculum and continue with the reputation it has.

You don't get to go into a field dealing with kids and expect to just be able to quit without an explanation. People will fill in the blanks in the absence of a logical explanation. That's part of the territory now - if you don't want to deal with the scrutiny, go work in some private sector job where no one will look or care.

Principal Summers could give a shit how you fill in your blanks, go ahead. Ignorant people like you piss me off.

Whatever he did, the kids at the school were fine, and the school had a great reputation in a trashy part of the county.

Whatever circumstance he was facing, we have been told it had nothing to do with the children, there was no criminal action whatsoever, and the kids loved this guy. Leave it at that.

FCPS rarely pressures an administrator to resign. Usually they park the bad ones somewhere (there was even one administrator like this--a glorified "clerk" for afterschool activities--at TJ/so dysfunctional that she tried to have the psychology club banned, claiming that psychology is very dangerous).

It sounds like this principal was forced to resign and keep quiet, otherwise FCPS would have to fire him. Classic FCPS damage control. They never want parents to have any real information.

Really? I've heard of more than one scandal that never got reported to the general public. The truth never came out, everyone was okay, and everyone moved on.

Not saying anything is the way to go. In a couple weeks you PTA mothers will be on to another issue in the community. What could the truth possibly get Summers in this case assuming he did something wrong which I do not think is the case.

If you are so worried about your kids, sit them down and ask if anything happened between them and the principal, everyone of them will say no. STFU and leave it alone.

We have no idea what happened. All we know is that he was on Administrative Leave and then resigned. It could be for any number of reasons. Now, typically, if a person is on leave and resigns for their own personal reasons (i.e. family illness), some sort of statement will be made to that effect. Since, that didn't happen, it leads us all to believe it wasn't his choice to be on leave and that he resigned before he could be fired. As parents, that scares us. There are far too many incidents of authoritative figures doing something they shouldn't and the people closest to them don't always know. And, sometimes, when people do know, they still cover it up. So, when someone in power tells us not to worry, that doesn't really put us at ease. It just makes us worry more. And, rumors that he was escorted off the property yesterday doesn't help.

How about misuse of county property to promote a business venture he had on the side? Conflict of interest cases usually takes a while to figure out (thus the administrative leave) and in the end he choose his other business interest to pursue so they escorted him out.

Are you just speculating, or is there some there there? What 'county property' could he misuse - pencils? Are county employees allowed to run outside businesses? Even if he is, I don't know how that would be a conflict of interest, unless it was directly school related or he was operating/promoting his business on school time.

People sure seem eager to speculate on this man's personal life. I wouldn't be happy either if I had a kid in this school under these circumstances, but I wouldn't trash the guy unless I had a reason to do so.

Springfield encompasses four ZIP codes. It's enormous. Sangster is fed into by neighborhoods that have far more in common with Burke and Fairfax Station than, say, the ones over by the former Springfield Mall.

I hope there is nothing for anyone to be concerned about.

But this is our school, our taxes pay the salaries of the school board and the principals, and these are our Children.

We need a honest accounting from FCPS on just one issue -- was the Principal placed on leave for any allegation or report endangering the health or well-being of a child.

If NO, then it's not my business.

If "um, we cant answer that question unless in the present tense," then we've got a real issue.

I know many people who respect Mr. Summers -- great. Answer the question -- and I don't care what the issue was..

Please help communicate this message to the FCPS, and we can all go back to worrying about other thigns.

He resigned suddenly...no goodbyes to staff or students...gone...

I've had two kids at Sangster. He was always caring and appropriate with my children.

If he had a family problem or other appropriate personal issue he would have said goodbye. There is no excuse for not saying goodbye to the teachers and especially the students. Principals have extended illnesses or have family members sick or even die and they make an effort to let everyone know that they will be leaving.

This is all so funny and sad to read.

No one on here has any REAL facts about what happened or why.

All the comments about FCPS are based on personal opinion.
All the comments about Mr. Summers is personal opinion and speculation.
All the comments about the location of the school are just silly.

It's all very judgmental.

This whole situation is being handled. Not necessarily the way YOU would like, but so what? Life doesn't always go the way we'd like.

It isn't the PTA's job to do anything in any of this...they are supposed to help support the school. Period.

The administration, both at the school and FCPS, is handling it the way they are handling it. Whether everyone likes it that way or not.

There will be a new principal. There will be an interim principal. The old principal is gone. IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER WHY. There has been assurance it wasn't anything illegal and the kids weren't in jeopardy. Take that as all that will be given. It's all that should be given. It isn't anyone's business except the parties involved DIRECTLY. That includes a very small number of people. And probably not YOU.

The speculation is really amusing. Maybe he got picked up to travel to the International Space Station! Maybe he found a stray cat and wants to dedicate his life to rescuing animals! Maybe he decided to road-trip it to Alaska and swim over to Russia!

Too funny. If you don't KNOW...stop guessing, because even if you heard it from a "really, really reliable source!" you're still just guessing. And it's hurtful...not helpful.

All the judgements about the commenters are really entertaining.

None are so entertaining as yours. It is fine for people to speculate. Frankly you are as well. No one has to accept that because you or an administrtor say "it's being handled," that it is being handled. Get off your high horse. If a teacher working with your kid was fired under the same circumstances you'd want every detail, a principal is no different.

"a family emergency"

well that's as false a report as any. what emergency? if you know why didn't you say? your as false as everybody wondering.

MAYBE he's a republican and the new FCPS super intendant found out. political firings happen.

maybe he was ousted. maybe his family problem was not unrelated: maybe it was caused to oust him.

i'll bet he's replaced by a green card

i might be wrong. but have you seen fcps? all maint. people are green cards for one thing.

i think they are marauding. is what i think.

As usual the gossipy helicopter parents don't know a thing, just have plenty of free time on their hands to make up stories.

You know what would be an awesome website. One with a list of names of helicopter parents in Fairfax County where anyone could go and speculate about their lives and their kids and all their problems and everything they do wrong.

Okay two problems, and if wrong, I'll admit it. First off the OP says he was "escorted from the property." We don't know what that means, and if it is true or not. Escorted by who? What time? What method?

Secondly, where's the administrative leave part? I don't see anything on that. While I'm not going to believe everything FCPS spews out, this sounds like a family matter, or something personal in nature that in no way is going to affect education, children, or anything else.

A message from SANGSTER ES

Dear Sangster Community,
Mr. Christopher Summers has resigned as principal of Sangster Elementary effective Friday, September 6, 2013. An acting principal will be named as soon as possible. Ms. Allison Jankovich and Ms. Addison Smith will continue to serve as assistant principals at Sangster.
I have every confidence that these excellent educators will provide strong and capable support and leadership for students, parents, and staff at Sangster Elementary.
As more information becomes available, you can expect to hear from me. We anticipate only great outcomes for the new school year and thank you for your continued support of Sangster Elementary School.

Sincerely,
Angela Atwater, Ed.D.
Assistant Superintendent, Cluster 6


Okay I'm not seeing that here. How did she provide that info? Usually unless something comes to public light, such actions would not be mentioned.(Confidential, pending legal matters) I'm not saying you're incorrect, but something just doesn't add up.

I'm sure that's not the case here.... But to tell me this is none of my business, or I'm just looking for gossip, or let this be --- how dare you.

As Sangster parents, we can post our opinions all we want on this board. HOWEVER...is anyone pursuing this with FCPS to get the truth or at least some additional explanation which would make parents feel easier about this?

Also, I wonder if parents/students from his previous school in Herndon (?) are aware of what has happened. He was a teacher in a middle school prior to Sangster.

I remember a situation in my middle school (many years ago,not FCPS) in which the gym teacher suddenly resigned. Turned out he made advances on a student in the weight room after school hours. There were no arrests or anything public ever said. Maybe she didnt have enough evidence, maybe she was paid to keep quiet. Don't know..but we did find out about it several weeks after the incident.

Not saying that this is what happened here...just that it brings back memories.

SHAME SHAME SHAME on this culture of be paid by the public, but not accountable to them. There's probably nothing for anyone to worry about here, but THIS CULTURE is how bad things happen to kids. SHAME SHAME SHAME.

If this guy has something personal he's dealing with -- fine, I don't care, and wish him well. But the public has a right to know more than they have been told.

Cute... notice this 3 hours before the PTA meeting. Plenty of time to talk about spirit week, no advance notice to anybody about this.

He is gone for personal reasons, the kids are safe and healthy, and the school is fine. Anything else is just gory details for the gossip mill. Just exactly what more do you want to know?

The HIPPA laws and other privacy protection laws are the new racket for hiding from accountability. Jesse Jackson Jr., the mayor in San Diego - all of these guys disappear for 'personal' reasons and their defenders start throwing out privacy laws to protect them. Soon enough, they end up in prison.

How much privacy do the kids get? Being interrogated by administrators without parents present, the hearing officers star chambers - it's about time that the administrators get the same level of treatment as the kids.

You have already been told it is a personal matter, the kids are all safe, and the school is fine. So it seems no matter what you are told, unless it involves something perverse, you will not believe it, so there is no point in even dealing with you. Penn State? Sandusky? That is really a reach.

Sure I can and so can the DRIVER in the picture. That car is not parked. As for Sangster, the first I even knew this school existed was when this thread was created, so you are correct that I know nothing about what goes on at some shitty FFX public school.

Keep in mind that very few people here are as stupid as you are so you are going to have a difficult time convincing them of your bullshit.

No, and neither does the DRIVER in the picture. A parked car doesn't have a driver with hands on the wheel. You seem too stupid to understand that.

My vehicle gets in the mid 20s mpg. It is reasonable. The only one compensating or overcompensating here is you. Are you so imbalanced that you get so enraged over such minor issues? Your husband's cock must be tiny as all hell. Have you considered stepping out on him?

We moved to the Fairfax system and the Sangster catchment area on the strength of its profile. We are ready to move just about anywhere but here. What the scores don't tell you is that the parents are competitive, materialistic and exclusive snobs who breed competitive, materialistic and exclusive children. Parents with children who have trouble adapting to the unwelcoming environment are told their kids are the ones with the problems. They shunt them into useless "lunch bunch" support groups or recommend professional counseling rather than admit that perhaps they are not creating a welcoming environment. The kids, who were happy and well-adjusted before, are now miserable. Be aware if this if moving here.

Everyone's fault but yours, eh? Maybe you have bred a social plague who is incapable of the more elevated interaction expected in NOVA.

We had a kid move in to our kids' ES who was showed up his first day in full cammo - shirt, jacket, lunchbox. Must have come in from some flyover state. He adapted - looks and acts like every other kid around here now. It's not permanent unless you let it be.

Xtchr. - What is your problem?

Where do you get off acting like this?

"None of your business". "Personal".

Is it really too much to expect our PUBLIC school system to at least talk to the parents of kids in the school?

Why does that bother you?

Resigning during the school year carries significant penalties... Which means there is enough cause to ask some questions. Frankly many people would have no questions if there were a little more transparency -- again in our PUBLIC school system.

I'm sorry if it bothers you that people have questions but telling people to go f--- themselves and shut up, truly isn't the best way to have a constructive dialogue here.
