The HOS reminds people that she has every right to fire them at will. Then she sabotages efforts to move on.

She is dangerous and untrustworthy.


Yeah, right. As opposed to you that you are very reliable posting anonymous harassment online.

A new HOS can often trigger restructuring and departures but it’s been a few years and the rate of great teachers and staff leaving has not slowed down. Students are definitely noticing


Do you or does anyone know exactly how many teachers (“droves”?) have left in the last two or five or ten years? How does that compare to ten yrs ago? How does it compare to other comparable schools in the local market? Any actual numbers?


This has been rehashed many times on this site. I think the count is somewhere 80-85 since the new HOS started, faculty and staff.


Does anyone know what the average faculty and staff turnover rate is at privates?

It’s ~15%.

Holton has about 200 faculty and staff members.

85 / 200 = 42.5% / 3 years = ~14%

No, I’m not PR or “CCO”. I’m just tired of the same boring (or bored) poster with the same argument stirring the pot, trying to create drama.


The numbers (and the facts) are irrelevant. The poster has a beef with the HOS and wants everyone to know.

It's the same 1-2 people just sock puppeting


Yeah, right, but the same thing applies to the detractors. Maybe only three people are participating in this thread.

Let's say 15% is accurate, though I'm not sure where that number comes from.

Year 3 is not over yet. We have no idea what the fall out will be by the end of this school year.

What we do know is that by the end of year 2, about 70 faculty and staff members had left, a loss of about 35%.

Embarrassingly high.

Well, you could ask the HOS. Or you could throw conspiracy theories in an anonymous forum claiming that all people left because of the HOS.

IOW, turnover is average for area private schools.

At least we know you'll always be here to refute and deflect.

Yes, incoherent posts need some reality check.

Thanks for the article reference.

Wow, actual facts instead of the usual speculation. What a concept.

I agree. The HOS doesn’t seem to be a the main reason for leaving a private school, as the mentally derailed poster thinks.

Note that that those are post-covid numbers. Not sure what normal trends are.

NP. The above facts are irrelevant for a specific school.
