[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I too would like some hot tea, this line of thinking that somehow this is union busting - seems a bit conspiracy-theory-ish.

1.) Very few teachers and staff, by percentage actually belong to the AEA. While they are doing some good things for teachers in general, they are a loud minority and take up a lot of space.  They listen to their group, not necessarily to other teacher concerns outside of their circle.

2.) The rumor is that Hall left because of health issues. I do not know him personally, but multiple people at W-L have told me this.

3.) I agree that it would have been preferable to keep Willmore for continuity. Maybe Duncan just aced his interview with Duran. Who knows. All of this speculation is kind of ridiculous.[/quote]

Duncan is patently less qualified than Willmore, doesn’t have experience with APS, and shows a willingness to job hop (he is leaving ACHS after just 3 years after all).

Just because he INTERVIEWED well?  They bonded over equity initiatives?  I fear Durans roots as an equity officer are still showing; rather than addressing the broader student bodies needs, he is obsessed with closing the testing gaps, even if itmeans with lowering the top. [/quote]

OP again. My point is that we will NEVER know why Duncan was picked over Willmore. While we're wildly speculating, maybe Willmore was offered the job first and declined, choosing the MS administrator role instead. Who the F knows? We won't.

Well let’s pivot. For someone who is transferring to WL as a IB from Yorktown, what is expected to change? The way he has ambitions to transform and clean house at a successful school worries us. [/quote]

No one can know this. He was announced 2 days ago. [/quote]
