[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was reviewing the CVs of the heads of school at the institutions where my child is applying and came across an intriguing case I wanted to share for input. One principal from a private school had previously worked at a school that unfortunately went out of business. While this is not necessarily a reflection of their leadership—since external factors often contribute to such outcomes—the subsequent part of their career raises some questions.

After the closure, this individual served as an interim head of school at three different institutions, each for one year. Typically, an interim head of school is hired as a temporary leader while the school conducts a search for a long-term candidate. What stood out to me is that none of these three schools chose to appoint this individual as their permanent head of school.

This makes me wonder: if this person is so qualified, why did none of these schools see them as the right fit for a permanent role? Could this be a potential red flag about their qualifications or leadership style? I’m curious to hear your thoughts.[/quote]

Classic overthinking

The Head of NCRC was never an interim head and oh look, he was a lying criminal [/quote]

The head of school is not a pedophile, hence he/she is qualified. [/quote]
