[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone able to share the CL resignation email?[/quote]

Is he already gone? Or did he just give notice?[/quote]

He is staying through the academic year. I think the issue is that he is universally beloved by the girls. And a LOT of staff have left. It’s just a shame. Having said that, agree, the school is amazing and my DD doesn’t feel a difference. Life goes on…[/quote]

He was involved with the bogus lifeguard  training class at Kenwood, right? Any chance he was asked to leave?

If I were a crisis comms firm, this is exactly what I would do. Look for a way to deflect blame from the HOS and smear departing administrators. Nevermind the fact that he’s currently looking for a new job and was beloved at the school, a place he called home for nearly 30 years. This is such a shameful tactic. Seriously, shame on you.[/quote]

He is beloved. Anyone who knows independent schools knows it’s a bad look to lose 3 top administrators in less than 12 months. It would demonstrate a shocking level of incompetence to arrange this intentionally. Even unintentionally, it’s rather breathtaking.

I’m reminded of the quote from Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest” - "To lose one [division director], may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose [three] looks like carelessness". Or perhaps, if not carelessness, malice? [/quote]

At the end of the day, these are jobs. The college my son goes to got a new president and then over the next year several top administrators left because you know what -- they are like us -- they want to move up or do something else, or yes, maybe they don't like their new boss. Shocking, I know, when we think these school administrators work for us. It's a job to them like anyone else and sometimes we leave. Get over it.

[b]The amount of complaining about private schools on this thread is tiresome. If you don't like what they teach, or the food, or the fact that walls weren't painted, or that they ask for donations (which every private school does from parents), or whatever, then you know what -- leave. You have that choice. [/b][/quote]

This is a complete misrepresentation of this conversation. I don't actually see anyone complaining about either school. What are you even referring to?[/quote]
