[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]22:03  The board should have seen Dr. Lody leaving coming months in advance to prepare a transition plan.  The second year of a charter school and the Ex. Dir leaves for personal reasons?  OK, that makes sense but the way it appears is not so rosy. Collaboration between the board and the Ex. Dir could have been presented as a seamless transition and mutual decision between board/Ex. Dir.  Now the situation is that the Ex Dir is leaving at the end of the school year and the board is going to hire a third party recruitment firm like everything is normal.  Bogus.[/quote]

It sounds like you are not an adoptive parent- but I can tell you from personal experience, you sometimes get zero warning - when you get the "call" that there a little body waiting for you. It can take YEARS and then arrive with little warning. We don't know what conversations the ED and the board had - hiring a search firm, like many other schools do, could be part of their "transition plan." At the meaning they addressed the bridge program and said that they went back and forth over having or not having one, but felt that they wanted to concentrate on getting a new school leader, building the playground out, etc. They also mentioned that a lot of their foreign language teachers (who are fabulous) want to go home for the summer to see family, but that they were committed to building a strong summer program next year. To me, that's fair, particularly, when I have saved money on before and after care all year.[/quote]
