Bless that woman's soul. Jmb, let's hope she can restore that chaos
ReplyDeleteShe don't play
DeleteCan it be effeceffective now please !!!??
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they will deal with THUGS
ReplyDeleteNow is the time to deal with the chaos stop it all now. No more fights no more sexual assaults at our schools
ReplyDeleteA true blessing for JMB!!!
ReplyDeleteThe principals cannot do anything central office doesn't allow. The principals don't want thugs anymore than anyone else. Hands tied by liberal politics.
ReplyDeleteI have been in the trenches hand and hand with Amy Elkridge! One of the best principals in the area! If she can't settle that school down, no one can! She is TOP NOTCH in my book! I cant say enough about her or her leadership ability!
ReplyDeleteWu Hi principal - Jim Ireton
ReplyDeleteAmy Eskridge Is a Tough principal, when I was in middle school 3 years ago she kept control of the building, she had authority. She scares a lot of people , I see her in the gym lifting a couple hundred pounds. She is built. JMB IS BLESSED! THEY NEED TO GET RID OF MRS. PINHEY AT PHS (AKA MRS. PIGGY)
ReplyDeleteWish pinhey would get out of Parkside.
ReplyDelete6:56 Great example to set for others and the students by disrespecting an authority figure and calling her names. Little wonder why the schools are out of control.
ReplyDeleteNope. It's THUGS
DeleteEven The Teachers At PHS call her Ms. Piggy.... The only time you see her is in the Cafeteria.
DeleteIt's like Jesus came down to jmb.
ReplyDeleteMardela is rejoicing on the appointment of Eskridge going to Bennett.
ReplyDeleteYes we are. Glad she is leaving. The heavy handed communist mentality doesn't play well at Mardela.
DeleteWhat do you mean?
DeleteGot some snowflakes at that school have we
DeleteCongratulations to Dr. Jeff Baer! He deserves this appointment.
ReplyDeleteSeems as if all Phase 1 Appointments are from schools that made headlines in the news... Bennett Middle, Bennett High, Choices.... I hope they do more.
ReplyDeleteChoices is moving to Wi Hi as we speak
DeleteEskridge was removed from Bennett several years ago for her poor performance during the construction of the new school. Added to that, she had issues with teachers, students and parents who were constantly contacting the board asking for her removal.
ReplyDeleteThe board's solution to the issue, was to send her to Salisbury Middle school. A few years later, "issues" started occurring again. The board's response was to remove her from the situation again by transferring her to Mardela.
I don't have knowledge of any Mardela issues, but I'm sure they're coming. They follow her.
And now she goes back to Bennett for a 2nd time.
The Wicomico Board of Education: Where failure and incompetence is rewarded with promotion.
But overall she don't play around with the Thugs in the schools ... Zero Tolerance, It's very different when you say she been to Bennett before but the thing is she was just the Dean of Students not principal, she goes by the orders of the principal so I don't know if your story is true. Almost every administrator gets moved around and sometimes visit the school more then twice.
DeleteNot Wi Hi he never been moved
Delete8:30 another shining example of the biggest problem in the schools - parents and their ignorance.
ReplyDeleteI think you have her confused with Batts. She wasn't at JMB when the new school was built. I think you've got the wrong person.
ReplyDeleteMrs Eskridge is one of the strongest administrators in the county with a passion for education She values instruction as well as a safe and orderly school. JMB is lucky to get her. The community should support our school leaders not not personally bash them. Thank you Donna for an excellent choice.
ReplyDeleteI think you have Ms. Eskridge mixed up with Lori Batts, she was at JMB when it was being built. I have worked with Amy and she is Top notch tough when she needs to be and caring and fair to. Mardela is loosing a very good Principal. But I know Liza will adapt to Mardela as she went to school there and I hear nothing but good things. So to say she is hated in Mardela is not true unless you are a disgruntled parent who did not like a descision she made. You cannot make everyone happy all the time its just not possible. Ms. Eskridge will be missed in Mardela. Congrats to Mr. Rick Briggs on his appointment as well.
ReplyDelete6:56 I work at Parkside and have never heard her called Ms piggy. Even if you don't like her, that is a rude rediculous thing to call someone. Its true that you never see her. She is either in her office (sometimes crying) or she leaves because of her headaches. Has no control of the school. Has no idea what is going on. Kids are running wild. But hey, our referral numbers are down.
ReplyDeleteBatts is the one that couldn't handle the principal job in several schools. Instead of firing her they promoted her to the head of guidance of the whole county. Now at Parkside she changed every counsler at one time and none of them know how to do their job. It's a big mess. Screw up a couple of schools, get promoted, and screw up a whole bunch at the same time. What a bunch of idiots. Can't wait to move away from here. It seems as if sometimes they do everything they can to make things worse.

I hear you!! As a parent I am sick and tired of her lack of experience and leadership in that school. Micah Stauffer was top notch from what I know of him and was hoping he would still be there.
I know a lot of parents and employees that didn't like Amy Eskridge so I am wondering if it is her on here sending the fluff emails about how great she is!

How do you go from Salisbury Middle School to Parkside High School? That's not the sister school?

You are 100% correct. I know for a fact that several years ago there were issues with some handicap kids and their families. Ms. Eskridge was a mean and inconsiderate P.O.S. and so was the black guy the works for the BOE named Turner. He was arrogant and racist.
Didn't Amy Eskridge have a son that got in trouble like expelled or something?

You might be an example of someone that can't comprehend plain English. It is my impression that 8:30 is a student and not a parent.

Thank you Amy, now go back to your baby sitting job.
Why do I get the feeling that Eskridge is on here making the positive comments about her?

ReplyDeleteEskridge is a clown. Mardela will help you pack!!!
ReplyDeleteWe can't just leave it up to the administrators we as parents community members citizens and contributors of our opinions also need to do all we can to instill morals and do what we can to change to push of the future we are leaving these children......roll models people
ReplyDeleteDear readers,
ReplyDeleteWhile I have no interest at commenting on administrative appointments beyond the obvious agendas in place, I will share the Dr. Baer is an immensely talented professional who has consistently gone far beyond his stated responsibilities - to that end, I have not met anyone who disliked the man, his abilities, and his passion for helping his students succeed. I don't know what leadership/administrative experience he brings to the school system, but his promotion should bode well for those students who are inclinded to engage in the arts
Best of luck Dr Baer
Regards,
Paladin
