[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SSMA is a sinking ship as long as the ED is around making personal rather than professional decisions, as long as the Board continues to be her rubber stamp, and as long as the staff has few other viable options. It’s toxic.[/quote]

This thread is so depressing.

How is it that so many people know that Shining Stars is a toxic work environment, yet nobody does anything about it? Was it always this bad or has the principal's leaving made it like this? [/quote]

Yes, it is really depressing.  This was the 3rd principal in 4 years so we were used to principals leaving (and hoping - maybe foolishly -  that there were not deeper issues).  But, the WAY that  and the timing of the principal being fired was shocking and made parents start asking questions, talking to teachers/staff (who were shocked as well and it seemed needed to start telling parents more about the leadership of the school).  What's more depressing is that the ED answers to the school's board, the school board answers to the charter school board.  The charter school board only cares about advancing charter schools - so unless someone has done something illegal they are happy to let things continue as is.  When the school's board responded to the PTO's questions/concerns with accusations of bullying and harassment, and threatening to get rid of the PTO, that's when parents should have begun looking for alternatives.
