Please tell me this is not true! Gilda Marquez is definitely not the right person for Spence. Mary Davies might have been spiteful in her way, but Marquez's incompetence will make Davies look like a miracle worker. For anybody that doesn't know her, she's been in the district for over a decade and was actually demoted all the way down to classroom teacher as late as 2006-2007. Spence needs somebody to come from outside the whole situation, and perhaps even outside the district. If this is true Spence is in for a long dismal year.

[Ed Note: I'm not seeing any specifics on why you believe Gilda Marquez to be incompetent. Let's get some facts, eh? Keep in mind that Spence is going to be under a microscope this year--from students, parents and teachers. An ineffective leader won't be happy at Spence this year.]
