[quote=Transplant_1][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed, pp, both seem competent. I would have been fine with them returning next year, but news that they are leaving doesn't concern me. I think this a great opportunity for the school to maybe live up to its potential. The high turnover of staff each year is a red flag and makes one wonder what was going on behind closed doors with the admin team.[/quote]

Hearst definitely has higher turnover than the other ward 3 elementary schools. We’re a long term family and teachers seem to be progressively unhappier as the years go by. A lot of really good teachers left to continue teaching, just at other schools. I think that’s a red flag. Ones who are left seem beaten down. Less and less fun things happening at the school for the kids, used to have assemblies and fall festivals and they’re all gone, things that brought parents in during the day all cancelled. Personally I’m happy to see admin turnover. [/quote]

I don't k now of a lot of teachers leaving to teach at other schools.  Over my 6 years, teachers I know of who left (and it's easy to remember, because it's a small school), most left for personal reasons, usually tied to spouse/parnter having a new job in a different location, or moved to a new city altogether, or decided to not come back after maternity leave, or decided on a career change, or retired, etc.  I do know one teacher who left to teach at a different school altogether, staying in the area.
