[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The announcement said she was leaving for "personal reasons."  Honestly, I don't see how it would affect the children at all.  She's the principal (or whatever), not a classroom teacher.  The executive director is still in place, and it sounds like they're bringing in a temporary person immeadiately.

Last year's leadership shuffle was definitely a big deal, [b]but sometimes people just move or change jobs and there's no grand problem at the bottom of it.[/b][/quote]

I'm sorry but that's just ridiculous.  Yes, people are people and sometimes stuff happens in personal lives.  But you are seriously fooling yourself (but not anyone else) if you're saying that this lead role leaving before the year is out after last year's transitions is somehow just "ya know, stuff happens.  No big deal."  It is a big deal.  And it's a big deal for people trying to figure out what the heck is happening with SSMA.

I've been rooting for SSMA for the last few years because I love what I know of the parent community, but "mismanaged" is absolutely an appropriate term for the cluster____ that is these leadership changes and location snafus.  Maybe this leadership change is very much the right thing, and I hope so, but it does look like instability.[/quote]
