What's going on in the cluster? I hear that the leadership of the PTA has turned over. In addition to the principal at Peabody leaving for Van Ness, the overarching Principal being demoted to Stuart only, at least one AP at Watkins leaving. Not saying that these are bad things, but what's the scoop?

No announcements have been made yet. I know they were interviewing earlier this week.

The PTA turnover is just the normal end of terms. It's not connected to the administration changes.

I don't know if the principal at Peabody is leaving, but I don't think it's for Van Ness. Their new principal was an AP at Seaton.

Principal Clemens wasn't "demoted" it's obvious that having 3 campuses is too many for someone to effectively manage. So she is going to be just principal for S-H and someone else will be principal of the other two campuses.

That's a demotion.

A deserved one. She only cares about Stuart Hobson anyway.

The Assistant Principal at Peabody is going to Vanness. He will be a teacher and I think has some administrative duties too. Unsure of exact role.

Looks like things will be looking up for Peabody / Watkins. More responsive PTA too.

What makes you say this? Do you know who the new AP is? Who the new PTA leadership is? Or are you just talking?

Not the poster who made this comment, but the new PTA leadership is rumored to be extremely good. (I don't know them personally, but hear great things from parents I trust.)

I suspect an announcement about a new Principal will be made before school ends. Certainly that's what they've been aiming for. Let's hope.

I speculate that the new Principal will have some say in selecting the two new APs; if so, that process will take place over the summer.

Are either of the Watkins APs vying for admin jobs within the cluster?
