From Harford County Public Schools:
On November 19, 2018, the Board of Education of Harford County named Eric Davis chief of administration for Harford County Public Schools to fill the vacancy created when the former chief of administration, Joseph Licata, retired on November 1.
Mr. Davis is a 1990 graduate of Saint Paul’s College with a Bachelor of Science in Education. He earned a master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Lynchburg College in 1998. Mr. Davis’ nearly 30-year career in education began with Lynchburg City Schools in 1990 as a third grade teacher. He went on to serve in the roles of assistant principal and principal before leaving that school system to relocate to Montgomery County, Maryland, in 2001.
In Montgomery County Public Schools, Mr. Davis served as principal of Maryvale Elementary School (2001 to 2004) and then principal of Montgomery Village Middle School (2004 to 2006) before being promoted to Director of School Performance in 2006, a role in which he supervised 11 principals, assisted with school improvement planning, and co-facilitated Achievement Steering Committees. In 2008 he was named director of the Department of Family and Community Partnerships and supported administrators in 200 schools with strategies to increase family engagement.
In 2012, Mr. Davis relocated to North Carolina to accept the position of assistant superintendent for Wilson County Public Schools. In this capacity, he was responsible for all operations within the school system, including finance, professional development, administrative services, and human resources. He worked closely with community agencies to design and implement the safety and security process for the district and was responsible for school climate and culture throughout the district.
Mr. Davis has earned several honors throughout his career, including Outstanding Principal for Community Engagement (2002) and Montgomery County Junior Council Principal of the Year (2005). In 2009, he was tapped to participate in Secretary of Education Arne Duncan’s first National Town Hall Meeting for the reauthorization of No Child Left Behind.
Mr. Davis has presented at several educational conferences throughout the years and most notably served as the keynote speaker for three consecutive years at state Title I conferences (Texas, 2013; Virginia, 2014; and North Carolina, 2015) on differentiated outreach, was a presenter during the 2016 ASCD National Conference on creating a welcoming environment in schools, and was creator and moderator of an international Twitter chat for educational collaboration, #EngageChat. In addition, Mr. Davis authored and published a book for school based administrators entitled I Hear You Knocking – But You Can’t Come In! – A Framework for Creating a Welcoming Environment in Schools.
“Mr. Davis is one of the finest educators I know. He is a visionary leader with a proven track record in both school-based leadership and system operations. He will be an outstanding addition to Harford County Public Schools,” said Superintendent of Schools Sean Bulson.
Milly Vanilli says
Sean Bulson and Eric Davis buddies from NC. Bulson hired Davis as his Asst Superintendent In Wilson County NC. The Board of Ed almost no boted Bulson, final vote 5-2 after he was up for a new contract. This man will ruin HCPS, Joe Licata was a good man and will be missed. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, the students in this county are screwed.
Not True says
Your information is inaccurate.
Cdev says
Joe Licata was incompetent and lied to the board of Ed on more than one occasion.
Sam Adams says
Licata was arrested for sexual perversion…not a good man at all and had no business working in the school system.
SoulCrusher says
Have you read the laws regarding what you are saying? According to those laws anything other than straight missionary position can be considered an act of “sexual perversion”. According to those laws ALL homosexual sexual activity is an act of “sexual perversion”. Furthermore, those laws are all archaic and contrary to freedom, yet alone unconstitutional. Licata is no more a “sexual pervert” than any other man who has had his pole smoked and that is just the way it is….
Luther Jones says
If the Board of Education no voted Mr. Davis they are racist. If they yes vote him Together We Will Harford County praises the board for bringing in diversity. This isn’t about the best for the job, the board of education failed. They don’t have the students best interest in mind. Dr. Bulson is going to be the biggest bust since the Orioles signed Ubaldo Jimenez to a four year $50 million dollar contract. Keep up the great work, HCPS.
Joe Baseball says
Welcome back, Eric! I enjoyed watching you with the Orioles but you’ll always be a Cincinnati Red to me.
Uh Oh says
If the teachers aren’t whining here on the Dagger, we’re definitely screwed. Not a good sign.
Ryan Burbey says
I am overjoyed that Dr. Bulson has brought such a high-quality educator into HCPS. Eric Davis will be a tremendous addition to our community. His salary also represents a real value for his position since his predecessor’s salary was $20,000+ higher. By making this decision, Dr. Bulson has demonstrated his commitment to change and his understanding of offering fair but not excessive salaries to upper management.
S.B. says
Burbey stands alone again. I have one word for this countys students… Karma
Duh says
The students have one word for you and it’s “counties”.
Think first says
Actually they spelled it correctly, just prob didn’t see the need to spend time putting the apostrophe in… Duh much?
Ryan Burbey says
I don’t think I stand alone at all. Many of us who have worked or are informed, know that there needs to be much change in HCPS. Bringing in bright, accomplished folks who have a history of success in other successful school systems is part of mobilizing for successful change. I am certain there is a network of folks who would like to undermine Dr. Bulson and will try to cast everything he does in a bad light. I for one will not stand by and allow that to happen.
S.B. says
Just as im sure you are part of a network of folks who would like to undermine any one with opposing views to your own, or simply anything you don’t understand. Maybe you should stand by and “let it happen”. We all know what happens when you open your mouth Burbey.
“Karma”
Gordon Koerner says
If this were a white man with the same credentials, most of you would be praising the choice.
Lydai Shard says
That was uncalled for.
William W Harrington says
Shut up old head. You and Allison G sound a lot alike, it’s scary. You are the one bringing up race, who’s the racist one??
James McMahon says
It was the most despicable thing I have read on this Web Site, and that says a lot.
Mike Callahan says
James McMahon . William Harrington and Lydia Shard are
despicable , defending the cheap shots of Milly Vanilla and Lester Jones after Harford County School Board selected Eric Davis as chief administrator of HCPS! John Wilkes Booth would be proud of your subtle racism!
Question says
Mike I have to ask. I have been reading your posts for a long time. In your mind all conservatives and Republicans that want accountability are racists. Are there any black racists or are they all victims. Please enlighten us. I’m just curious how you formulated your opinions
COHAGEN says
I’m impressed this guy got some 15,000 votes or whatever.
Oh well, you’re still about 15,000 still short.
I think no matter what your political party affiliation is, if you’re old as shit and never been in politics it’s extremely rare to get elected.
Mike Callahan says
Mr. Question –
The underlying biology of Republicans is fear of ambiguity and implicit negativity bias.. Thus they have a tendency for prejudice and racist thinking, The Republican brain has a tendency towards prejudgement rather than facts, reason or logic And Republicans often use personal attack (i.e. Trump) rather than attempt to address the issue at hand!
SoulCrusher says
There is no biology in “fear of ambiguity and implicit negativity bias”. That is a mental outlook or a mindset, but clearly there is nothing biological about it. I don’t care what video you use to try and prove your point, if the content is “bullshit” then you point is too. In closing, if your political outlook was one of unity and not one of division then maybe you could possibly help “Make America Great Again” because the current viewpoint you are displaying will never accomplish that task.
The ones who point out racism on a regular basis are the ones whom are the real racists…… Jon Adam McCarty (2018)
Question says
First of all you did not answer the question regarding the existence of black racism. Instead you attempt to be a race baiter always blaming the “white devil” for all of the racial divide in this country. The days of baseless racism are ending. This was and is evident by the election of President Obama. The bigoted white people of the 40s, 50s, and 60s are dying off. People are much more open minded. If you were to quiry white people as to why they still possess some racial bias they will in many cases refer to the way a large portion of the black population represents themselves. They refer to the violent unlawful subculture displayed everyday and the inability of the black community to acknowledge that they are part of the problem. They refer to double standards in behavior. For the most part white people deplore the use of the “N” word but wonder why large elements of the black communityfeel it is ok to use it routinely millions of times a day in general conversation, music, and entertainment. The solution to the problem of racial divide needs to be resolved on both sides. Race baiters like you Mike Callahan are part of the problem not part of the solution
Steve Stamos says
MIke Callahan, you are a pathetic, partisan troll.
Substitute “African American” or “Asian American” in your comments and read them black.
People of all groups DO NOT think alike. Your hateful rhetoric is exactly what it wrong with this country.
I am an Independent voter, by the way.
James McMahon says
Callahan is a partisan hack.

Donald Trump appeals to men secretly insecure about their manhood?

SoulCrusher says
That’s all fine and dandy, but the agenda of the Democratic party appeals to people who wish to be traitors against the United States and advocates perjury on behalf of a political party to use the Department of Justice to fabricate crimes that have never occurred. Let me remind you that there is NO POLICE POWER granted to the Federal government and the Department of Justice is really an illegal and unconstitutional institution forced upon the public. Let me remind you that there is NO Constitutional grant of authority to regulate the behavior of WE THE PEOPLE and ALL laws meant to do this that were enacted by the Federal government are figments of imagination that were NULL and VOID before they were enacted. The DOJ can only regulate the behavior of government employees and elected officials, but can not regulate the behavior of men and women that occurred before they were a government employee or elected official. They simply don’t have the power and authority to do this. The entire “Witch Hunt” is an act of treason against the United States and every person involved in the investigation should be hanged by their necks until they are dead. Congress never had any authority to define treason and only has the power to determine the penalty of treason. The codified statutes of treason in the US Code are illegal, unconstitutional and nothing but a bunch of codified crap, just like the rest of the US Code. End the Muller Investigation and charge every scumbag involved with the treason they have committed on behalf of the Democratic party…..

Chris Mooney, The Republican Brain
SoulCrusher says
Mike, what about the brains of true Americans who owe no allegiance to the Democratic or Republican corporations? Whether an independent voter or someone who has not registered to vote, what do you have to say about the brains of Americans who agree with certain policies of both political corporations or those who realize a Constitutional authority exists to instate a policy even when they don’t agree with it? Democracy doesn’t mean everyone has to conform to a certain set of rules or beliefs and when that democracy seeks to steal the rights of those whom do not wish to conform with the rules and beliefs of a certain standard by popular vote, that democracy has overthrown the Constitutional republic that protects us all and becomes a vessel of treason on American shores. Both political corporations have done this. Both political corporations are guilty of treason and those who advocate these “democratic” views are nothing but traitors against the United States. Is the mission of the political corporations to turn every American into a traitor? There is NO rule of law when the “Supreme Law of the Land” has been infringed upon and when the codified statutes of the US and Maryland codes that do violate our Constitutional protections are forced upon private citizens, the rule of law has become treason against us all.
