MCPS Charter School's "future is uncertain"

Here's the staff list for the MCPS Charter School.
No principal is listed, only two teachers. 
The Washington Post reports on Montgomery County Public Schools only Charter School.  In typical Washington Post fashion, they skip the fact that the school has no principal!  If a D.C. school was operating without a principal wouldn't The Washington Post report that?  You bet they would. 

And, don't you think The Washington Post would get the name of the school correct?  There is no "Crossway" Charter School.  The name of the school is Community Montessori Charter School.  The Charter School was to be a separate and independent organization from the Crossway organization.  Again, if this was a D.C. story The Washington Post would be all over the fact that the Charter is not being operated according to their legal mandate.  But, this is MCPS so who cares? 

The Washington Post: Montgomery’s public Montessori school seeks financial stability
...The relationship between the school system and the charter school will become particularly important as Crossway begins teaching kindergarten-age students this fall and looks to develop sustainable funding. Crossway opened in August with about 70 students, and about 40 new children are expected for the coming year. The plan is for the school to eventually teach students through third grade...
