The last thing you should do in the case of Bridges is talk with the Principal.  That may work in other schools, but not at Bridges.  Kristine Rigley is the best politician I have ever seen.  Truly, she is in the wrong profession.  She is gifted at telling you what you want to hear and making you believe it.  Nothing that comes from her mouth is the truth.  The faculty knows it, which is why so many have left and most have said they are not returning next year.  Many parents know it as well.  Current parents are the only people in a position to tell you how it is.  Now, some will always love a place and some will always hate a place.  But when the majority all tell you the same thing..., well, you are a fool if you don't give it serious consideration.

Bridges is a ship that is sinking and it is sinking because it has a Principal who does not prioritize supporting staff, does not hire people genuinely  qualified for the positions at hand, does not provide on-going training and support for those working with the special needs children, and goes out of its way to dissuade an open and honest community.  It is all smoke and mirrors.

In my children's classes, most of the parents are not sending their children back next year and both teachers have said they are not returning either. And it is NOT because the school is moving to a new location.[/quote]
