[quote=Anonymous]Here is my list of specifics

1. Removal of the dean of students from the budget - which was the only person who brought any joy and programming like the student government, spelling bee and other extra feel goods to the school day 
2. School was modernized with a science lab, collaborative space and computer lab - all of which she wouldn’t allow teachers to use or funded in any way 
3. Field trips - gone unless parents or teachers filled out a 9 page form to get it approved - instructional time is king - the school has no joy 
4. Communication- she is the worst at this - can’t do a weekly update on a regular basis - won’t answer emails or engage on the listserv - the PTA ghost wrote her weekly communication for the first year to help her and when she took it back over in year two she never could get it done 
5. Teacher retention- we lost a massive amount of teachers during her time - ones that have been with Watkins for double digit years! Ones who you look forward to your kid having
6. She had no idea how to unite a group of people and she likes the dysfunction as it creates discord and takes the focus off her
