Dear Brassfield Elementary School Parents, Community and Staff:
I know you join me in thanking Elizabeth MacWilliams for her years of service to the Brassfield community during her tenure as principal and wish her well in her new position as Principal of Carroll Middle School. Mike Chappell will serve as interim Principal at Brassfield ES beginning July 1, 2015, until the new Principal has been hired. He is a skilled retired principal who has held positions at the Elementary, Middle and High School levels as well as serving in the WCPSS Central Office. Transitions can be difficult at first, but there are processes in place to help us with a smooth transition as we search for the new principal of Brassfield Elementary School.
I would like to invite you to join me in the selection process. I am committed to hearing from all stakeholder groups and listening to what characteristics and leadership skills you would like to see in the next principal of Brassfield Elementary School:
· All staff members are invited to the Media Center on Monday, June 29 at
4;15 pm to provide input into the characteristics of the new principal.
· All parents and community members are invited to the Media Center on Monday,
June 29 at 5:30 pm to provide input into the characteristics of the new principal.
This information will be used to develop a principal profile and a list of questions and issues to use during the selection process. This profile is a very important part of selecting the new principal.
As soon as the screening and interview process is complete, Superintendent Merrill will make a recommendation to the Board of Education.
If for some reason you are unable to attend the session, I invite you to provide input to me through the following link:

Sincerely,
Pamela Kinsey-Barker
