[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our principal is not well regarded, and in fact is [b]one of the main reasons parents do not engage with the PTA[/b], which is sad, as we struggle to find enough volunteers and people to fill leadership positions.  The principal is often very [b]defensive, and non-responsive, and judgmental and even gossipy[/b] about parents that speak up.

Realistically, what needs to be done to create a record under which, eventually, there may be enough reason to replace this person? [/quote]

So, this could be a vicious cycle, where your principal feels defensive because of how parents interact with him/her.  You may want to figure out how to engage in a more constructive way.  Could you take this person to coffee?  Run things by him/her? If you demonstrate some respect/consideration/friendliness, maybe this will obviate the "need" to go get this person fired.  I say this because I doubt that it is a simple process and the PTA not liking a principal is not likely to be a material reason to fire him/her.  Not responding to hostile emails may be viewed as preferable to that person's manager than the principal fighting fire with fire.  And as for engaging in gossip.  Isn't that kind of what we're ALL doing here?

However, in the event that the principal does something that rises to the level of firing, you need a good paper trail, documented in real time (think Comey!) and may want to talk to a lawyer or consult with the employee handbook for MCPS to see what they say will get a person fired.  [/quote]
