From what I understand - she worked with Maret HOS in prior job. I assume the Maret HOS asked her to come join him to work together again. This is not out of the ordinary in professional life.

+ 1. I’m in HR and it’s expected with executive hires and we plan for it

Here is what is not normal. Allowing the HOS who has struggled across various metrics choose his Associate Head. He has lost the respect of the faculty (it’s bad) and teachers have no idea why the board would allow him to select a friend to come take over a senior role that he created. Why not do a real search and find someone who can actually help the school, the most qualified person? Especially since he continues to flounder in so many public and private ways. It really is hard to witness from the faculty side. This type of “appointment” is not normal.

In what ways has he floundered? Is this just with lifer families? The school doesn't seem to have any problem attracting new families.

Shouldn’t you be blaming the board who OK’d it then? I don’t blame him for wanting to bring on someone he trusts- ante executive would try to do this in any job. But the board could have said no.

Let’s get real: The board is not getting rid of this guy after three years. Because it would mean yet another search. Learn to love him- and her for that matter. You’re stuck with them.

It sounds like highlighting the board is what this poster is doing. Is it not? Ive seen other schools get rid of HoS after three years. It sounds like this is bad but who knows. Boards can also stick with their Heads for too long at times. Especially bad boards.

Even GDS seems small with its 130 or so kids per grade.

That’s not small for a non-Catholic private HS in this area.
