[quote=Anonymous]I suspect what’s happening is that the board is surprised that there was any push-back at all after the principal was fired; there hasn’t been any reaction like this in the past after personnel moves; my guess is that since this is largely out of nowhere (from their perspective), they’re assuming it’s a small faction of parents that has grabbed the microphone and they’re acting accordingly.  Even if the community association overreached a bit in their letter to the board (I suspect what they’re pushing back on is the half-suggestion/half direction that the board “report back” to the letter within a certain number of days), I think it’s a good thing that they’re becoming more than just a fundraising outfit; it’s always good to have a third voice in the room, even if that voice is (appriopriately) purely advisory.

While her actions here were dumb, I have, probably, a more sympathetic view of the ED and her actions here than most (a leader should be able to pick their team - if that results in too much turnover/a bad reputation, then the board should step in), but it’s only healthy for the school to have more dialogue between the parent community and senior leadership.[/quote]
