[quote=Anonymous]You’re weighing ‘risk of instability from transition’ against ‘stability under current leadership.’ That’s not actually the choice in front of you.

The instability is already here. It’s just happening quietly inside the building instead of visibly at the leadership level. 125 staff gone since SY23-24. Both IB coordinators gone simultaneously with no succession plan. 37 special education staff departed while nearly 500 students with IEPs depend on that department. A 94% no confidence vote from the people who show up every day and teach your kids.

That is not a stable school. It is a school that looks stable from the outside while the foundation is eroding.

And the letter doesn’t ask you to blame ED for everything. It documents specific decisions he made and specific failures of leadership over three years of documented attempts to address them. You don’t have to believe he’s a villain to believe he’s the wrong person for this school at this moment.

Your skepticism about the Boardis warranted and frankly shared by many people in this thread. That’s exactly why the staff letter asks for a search process that includes staff and parent voice rather than leaving it entirely to the board.

Your kids already lived through instability at LAMB. You recognize the signs. What you’re describing at DCI right now are those same signs. The question isn’t whether instability is coming. It’s whether you manage it on your terms or wait until it manages you.[/quote]
