During the January 23 Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners Public Board meeting, six school and district leaders were recognized for their outstanding leadership, dedication, and mentorship. City Schools Career Pathways for principals, coordinate in partnership with the Baltimore City Public School Administrators and Supervisors Association (PSASA) to advance employees from the initial, standard pathway to the professional pathway through performance evaluations and earning leadership units.
Congratulations to the following leaders for their career pathway advancement:
- Ashley Moore, Transformational Principal, Empowerment Academy
- David Wunder, Distinguished Principal, Charles Carroll Barrister Elementary
- Kim Hill, Distinguished Principals, Mary Ann Winterling Elementary
- Lauren Brown, Transformational Principal, Violetville Elementary/Middle
- Lori Hines, Distinguished District Administrator, Director of Student Conduct and Attendance
- Peter Kannam, Transformational Principal, Elmer A. Henderson: A Johns Hopkins Partnership School
Eligible employees are placed in three categories based on performance: distinguished principals, transformational principals, or distinguished district administrators. A transformational and distinguished principal transforms the lives of students, teachers, partners, and the community that surrounds their schools by mentoring, leading professional learning, and serving as a model for policy implementation. A distinguished administrator impacts stakeholders across the district and throughout our school communities by leading professional learning, supporting innovation, and serving as a model for advisory and ambassadorship.
