[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interim ED doesn’t speak Spanish.

She promoted a despised VP (who also speaks no Spanish and has no Montessori background) despite numerous parent complaints.

I have never seen her once at South Dakota, but she feels empowered to make drastic changes despite her ignorance. [/quote]

I had a different interprentation of the admin changes. I feel fairly positive about them.

FWIW, here's my interpretation:
I took the South Dakota AP's 'promotion' as a move to get her out of an AP seat and away from having to manage teachers, kids, and parents. Not really a promotion in my eyes but it may end up being so. I think the ED recognized that she wasn't excelling in that position so she moved her to a position which she hoped might be a better fit for her.

Michelle Mangan was promoted to AP and she is fantastic. We have had great interactions with her over the past few years.

The other two individuals promoted both do their jobs well and I see no issue with them receiving promotions. I also see 'Director of Family Engagement' for all three campuses as a way to have fewer parent liaisons. The parent liaisions only served the role of BS'ing parents anyway and trying to keep parents off the admins backs. With an AP in each facility running things and talking to parents themselves, we really don't need parent liaisions......

I think it is motivating to staff to have promotions occuring and to see people moving into positions that are a better fit for them. So, I applaud the ED making these changes, assuming she did so through thoughtful engagement with her team of APs, other senior staff, and the Board. My interpretation (per above) is that she did.

We really like the AP at Missouri and feel that things are running smoothly there. With two SN kids in elementary, we have been at LAMB long enough - and worked closely enough with them - to know how truly horrible the administration of LAMB was previously. Horrible in so many regards. We feel cautiously hopeful about the present and future admin situation. [/quote]
