[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also just saying I’m not defending Rosskamm but I also think letting the staff fire an executive director is not good precedent either.  Being an executive director is not a popularity contest. My first priority is my kids and their education. If the outside firm finds him to be unethical, I’ll be happy if he’s removed. [/quote]

The staff aren’t firing anyone. They submitted a formal no confidence letter to the board and asked the board to act. That’s the correct process. The board is the accountability mechanism and the question is whether they’ll use it because right now it doesn’t look like they’re stepping up the way they should.

And this goes beyond popularity. The letter documents potential legal liability around IEP compliance, a financial arrangement that effectively cut pay for the lowest-paid staff while the ED took a $30K bonus, a nepotism concern, and a pattern of retaliation that’s been documented over three years. These aren’t vibes,  they’re governance failures.

If your kids’ education being the priority that’s exactly why this matters. 37 SPED staff gone since 2023. The MYP coordinator gone with no succession plan. The DP coordinator not being renewed. An IB re-evaluation coming in 27-28. The mission is eroding in real time.[/quote]
