I think this is the 3rd time posted, and I was ridiculed for posting the 2nd time..he apparently is going to the gatehouse where all horrible principals head, I think they even invented a new stupid title for him, at least he won't be dealing with kids or parents, but will, of course, be getting paid handsomely..

Paul Wardinski was a complete failure and the school system had to get him out of there. Virtually EVERYONE- students and faculty alike -hate him . His policies sucked, and they had to create some bullshit job for him because they can't fire him. The man is totally incompetent and he is a failure in all aspects of his life. Too bad you quit NOW Paul, Richard would've stayed another year if you had quit over the summer. Worst of luck you simpleton loser!

Going to head CTE for the county. Promotion. Actually many very good and talented principals head to Gatehouse so be careful of global assertions.

It'll be interesting who comes in as the full time replacement to wardinski. Then again the railroading on here is impressive when you consider that no one knows who will be the new principal.
They could be worse or they could be better...a lot of people might have gotten what they want by him leaving but they might be regretting those desires if the new principal is even worse.
Wardinskis new position also already existed in the county so its a little absurd leveling claims about a new job being created just to get him out. Besides why promote to a curricular position like that if he was such a poor administrator.
That said people need to stop saying mr. Griffin would have stayed. He was classy in his exit and left more for personal reasons than professional disagreements over policy.

If Wardinski performed as poorly at WSHS as he did at McLean then it would be practically impossible to replace him with someone "even worse".
He was replaced at MHS by a wonderful administrator. Although it took a little while she eventually repaired the damage caused during the Wardinski years, and most everyone moved on. I still feel sorry for the students and teachers at McLean whose educations and carreers were damaged by Wardinski and his minions since those years can not be regained.

No offense mhs parent but your principal could have easily been a county bleeding sycophant and been worse than wardinski...all I am is saying is people don't consider how good or bad it was until its to late.
If you read wardinskis blurb about leaving you do sort of wonder where the hate within the wshs community comes from. The food fight? I haven't heard that he had any major discipline issues beyond that nor was there a mass exodus due to his policies.
I remember 6 years ago, there was a mass exodus of talented teachers from irving ms because they didn't buy into danny littles policy. I don't recall that happening at west springfield so you have to give wardinski some credit.
And while I understand what happened at mclean with the teachers and wardinski...there is something to be realized that those incidents have little tie to wardinskis time at west springfield. Did he use what happened as lesson we hope so but the incident was at mclean not at west springfield.

MHS Parent:
Let's get this straight, those running nose kids who threatened Wardinski were supported by their parents, one of whom was a lead Council for a law firm. Wardinski acted in the right manner as a principal but you won't believe that because you are always right and never wrong.
Here is one for you, the WSHS community appreciates Mr. Wardinski's service. He has cleaned up our school, been at all of our functions and cares about our kids.
You are nothing but a helicopter parent and society will no doubt be taking care of your offspring because you failed parenthood 101. Oh wait--society already is.

Thank you for summarizing what I was trying to say...well minus the snot nose kid part. Being a principal anywhere is just like any other management position some of your employees like you some hate you some are indifferent...some of your clients like you some may be indifferent but your product is needed by them some may hate you so they don't do business with you.

Not MHS but a parent: You are clueless, and it is a shame you feel a need to strike out illogically since you know nothing about me, my children or my parenting.
I was not referring to "The Incident". I have never felt that I had enough information or access to the facts to form a judgement on that situation, and I certainly would not have brought it up in a public forum.
The main problem with Wardinski at MHS was that he made a series of very poor decisions and hires that were simply not in the best interest of the students' education and professional respect for the many dedicated teachers there. That sometimes happens when a new principal wants to make an agressive mark on a school. Unfortunately, when it became clear that some of his decisions were faulty, instead of re-assessing them and making changes he chose to dig in his heels until the problems compounded and became systemic. A good administrator continually evaluates the results of his or her decisions and makes adjustments accordingly.
I'm glad to hear that perhaps he did learn from his mistakes at MHS.

He didn't learn anything. He barely showed up at wshs last school year or the start oof this one because he is so hated. Griffin would have stayed if Wardinski had left- trust me. Wardinski is a two faced coward ready to hang is staff out to dry or break a promise to a parent. Ninety percent of the staffs at mhs and wshs hated him, and so did the students. He is an incredibly inept leader- perhaps switching him to a desk job where he doesn't have to interact with people or try to lead them will accentuate his strengths. I hope that is the case, at least so his county funded "life coach" can let him be a big boy and thereby save the county money.

He was a horrific administrator consistently demonstrating a lack of leadership skill and basic ability to run a school, he had no communication skills and worked very poorly with teachers, students and parents. The placating brown noser who says otherwise has such low standards and expectations that they are satisfied with anybody who shows up. Being a good principal at a high school takes talent, creativity, finesse, skill and experience-Wardinski had NONE of these. Better behind a desk not interfacing with humans.

Comments are being accepted by FCPS until Thursday, October 6, on who you think should replace The Warden as WSHS principal.
West Springfield High School and its community are a very special place. We will recover from the disaster of Paul Wardinski, just as McLean High School recovered before us. But I can think of nothing worse than moving a failing administrator from one school (ie, Danny Little at Washington Irving or Rob Sanders at South County, two of the names we've heard through the grapevine) to ours, just because FCPS has no place else to put him. FCPS should fire inept administrators, not reward them with custody of a high school.
We need to stand up for West Springfield High School. We are not a dumping ground. We are a proud community, with a long, proud tradition of excellence. We deserve better.

We hear that Wardinski's move to central office is not even lateral. He's taking a substantial pay cut. But FCPS had to get him outta there-he was literally destroying the spirit of the school and the WSHS community. A friend of mine told me that large organizations like WSHS don't like to fire folks like the Warden because they're afraid of being sued.
The only thing we're worried about is who they hire to replace the current moron. If they move another deadbeat in to take over at WSHS, that would be a crime.

All the failed FCPS HS principals are put out to pasture at the Gatehouse Administrative Center. Former principal Linda Burke from Lake Braddock was sent packing several years ago. Maybe Linda and Paul can share a cubicle together and complete their paint-by-number coloring books while earning $125,000 annually.

School just picked the committee that will help select new principal. Trouble is that last time we went thru this - 4 years ago - the committee had PAW last on its list and he was named principal anyway. Does that tell you the system is rigged?

Not at all a Wardinski fan, but not sure you gave good info. I was on a principal committee for our school a few years ago. Not sure how you know the last panel had Wardinski last? I never knew what our panel decided.
Our panel had parents, teachers, and another person or two – I think a central office person or other principals (and the guy leading the interview). When it was over, we wrote our comments, listed our top applicants and left. I have no idea what anybody else wrote.
We didn’t talk about the interviews and everybody left as they finished writing their comments. By the time I got done there was only one other person there. I turned in mu comments and listed follow up questions I thought should be asked. I never knew who the other people listed as their choices. We were told the top few, based on what we wrote, would be interviewed by the head of the cluster.
How did you find out what the committee decided? We couldn't.
I was also on one other panel, maybe 10-12 years ago. The process was about the same. We never had an idea what the panel suggested. We wrote and left. I liked who they ended up hiring, but never knew what happened after the panel. Maybe you have some inside info.

Well I volunteered to serve (I have a big mouth) and wasn't picked, which is what I predicted. I really just hope there is someone "with a pair" so that we (I have three more years there), don't get stuck with another cast off FCPS looser that a good school doesn't want. Anyone know who the parent on the committee?

Yeah, they do. Madison had a black principal years ago and the white parents criticized her constantly.
The principal at McLean after Wardinski is black and, while she's not perfect, she's viewed as a big improvement over him.

she makes the decision and then gets approval through her chain ultimately going to the school board. The School Board basically "rubber stamps" the selection.
By waiting till the new school year, means a new school board that might not be as willing to finalize the selection of her "top contender".

The county uses minority candidates to discourage parents from causing problems? You may be stuck in the 60’s or 70’s but the rest of us have moved on. If a candidate (regardless of color) is or is not getting the job done, people will tell it like they see it.

No you don't get the point- FCPS puts minority administrators in predominantly white schools like W Springfield where parents have been "causing trouble" (please observe quotations marks), and because parents will not question them (white guilt, fear...) and will back down to minority principals. Works really well.

It’s not that we don’t get what you are saying, we just don’t buy the theory. If they hire a minority administrator it won’t be because whites won’t complain or challenge the principal. People will complain one way or another and this theory is bogus.

Leslie.Butz@fcps.edu - while you're at it, copy Dr. Dale. Jen Knox would bring the smarts and the stability back to WSHS that have been sorely lacking since David Smith left.

From what I saw and heard, Danny Little cared little for interacting with ANYONE. Students, parents. He actively avoids even speaking to anyone unless absolutely necessary. Performs the basic job but won't even come to the evening performance of the school play. Very aloof, stand off-ish. That isn't always a bad thing, as long as basic stuff does get done. But why did he go into education if he really doesn't enjoy interacting with people at SOME level? Greg Hood was MUCH better with people, and he genuinely cared about students. Too bad he was moved to a new position.
Once an educator reaches this zone, FCPS keeps them. Forever. Danny Little is not well-suited to be a high school principal.

The reason Irving ran well before Armando Peri was because of Greg Hood, he was a genuine person who really cared about the kids.

If a student or parent is merely walking down a hallway at Irving and Mr. Little is there, he will turn away/avoid any contact. Not optimistic that his behavior will change if he moves to WSHS. I have known a very effective principal who was somewhat introverted, but he was effective because he made an extra effort to reach out and he was a GREAT teacher--kids loved him. Don't see this happening with Little. He does the minimum--no more.
Armando Peri--very disappointed when Greg Hood was promoted away from Irving and Peri assumed the assistant principal job. He was not a great fit with that age.
FCPS's school board and administrators are not doing a great job of keeping the focus on student education. The administrators seem to be mostly concerned with their own interests (Dan Meier, Robinson HS and real estate scam artist).

He too will be gone in four years once you realize the emperor wears no clothes. He's not ready to deal with a secondary school with a diverse population, large student body, and comprehensive athletics and extracurricular program. Thoreau is a middle school in Vienna.

So, “you are idiots,” you’ve completed your detailed research and determined Greenfelder is dead wood? Do tell your scientific methods.
So you want an outside search? Isn't that what they did the last time FCPS needed a superintendent? My guess is you are not too happy with how that turned out.

hmmmm...someone with talent, creativity, insight, real ability (not fake FCPS propaganda ability), finesse, you know the list that any organization looks for defining leadership. Having served as a prior administrator in another FCPS school means nothing except for the fact that you have lived through it. You cannot possibly think that there would not be candidates from all over the country if it were advertised? Look at other systems, they recruit nationally on education websites and their own (there are lots). My definition of "dead wood" is another FCPS administrator who is cast off...or has not excelled. The ones who have done well and have proven themselves are quickly moved to the good schools where the parents won't put up with the likes of Wardinski and Little. I don't know Greenfelder but I bet a parent here does. Please expand.

It appears that Greenfelder was an AP from Robinson from 2000 to 2005. At Thoreau worked with Northrop Grumman to help build/ influence the Aspire software that FCPS eventually bought from NGC. He's also quoted in several published books for hiw work with this effort and is a consultant. It would be nice for someone to publish what this person is really like.

No reason to look into this anymore. "You are idiots" has already determined that Mr. Greenfelder is "dead wood." To quote, “My definition of ‘dead wood’ is another FCPS administrator who is cast off...or has not excelled. The ones who have done well and have proven themselves are quickly moved to the good schools where the parents won't put up with the likes of Wardinski and Little.”
Not sure what “you are idiots is saying” about West Springfield High School. Is he/she saying West Springfield is not one of the “good schools?”

Assistant Superintendent Leslie Butz, who is in charge of WSHS selection process, is apparently pretty steamed about all the idle chatter and suggestions from Spartan parents about who she should choose to replace the Warden. She's making the new principal announcement Tuesday, 11/1, 2:30 pm in school auditorium. Parents, you should show up. If she doesn't respect us and picks another loser, you should complain-A LOT. Her email is leslie.butz@fcps.edu - we need to be respected on this. WSHS is not a dumping ground!!!

So is Greenfelder a minority?

well she should have announced it by now then
and no, wshs is certainly not one of the upper income schools in this county (not langley, not mclean, not oakton....) it is very middle income and gets treated accordingly.

Eh that was public knowledge when Wardinski announced he was leaving. And you don't hear a lot of complaints about Rumberger. Someone here called him the politican principal...besides all that read that email, he's only going to be there this week and next week.
Whoever is the new principal will be starting on Nov. 15; you don't say in your email that Mr. Rumberger will be there until Nov. 15, 2011 unless the plan is to have the new person in place by that day.
We'll see what happens...besides aren't we all baited breath the announcement cometh in less than half and hour according to my sources.

Most of you on this forum are horrible people. He was a good principal. You try being the principal of a high school like WSHS. You would suck at it. There are many aspects of the job that you are forgetting about. You only see what he publicly says or does. He is a man of many hats. If you still believe that he is a horrible person after reading this then look in the mirror, most likely it is you that is the horrible person.

A. He is not a man- a man has guts, a man defends his people, a man doesn't run when things get tough. Ask anyone: Griffin, Ukele, any of them. He may have a penis, but he is NOT a man.
