[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the co-president of the Murch HSA for the past two years,  I had many opportunities to interact with Dawn Ellis, and I feel compelled to come to her defense on this forum.  I had many interactions with Dawn that spoke to a high level of professionalism.  I found her to be a strong administrator, knowledgeable about curriculum, and at least publically, very supportive of her teachers.  She was well regarded by many parents and teachers, as well as by the children.  She was always respectful to me, and generous with her time.  I am aware by report that she was not always this way to others, and that she made diplomatic mistakes.  I am disheartened that she was not given a better chance to rectify her mistakes, and I advocate compassion as she ends her tenure with the school. This is a real person, who worked hard for Murch and is finishing a difficult year. Perhaps she has made significant errors in her dealings with people, but that does not mean she is without good qualities.

Respectfully,

As a Murch parent with no particular opinion of Ms. Ellis one way or the other, I appreciate your input, Allison.  Thank you very much for chiming in.

Could you update us on the principal search process?  I know the parent reps were selected more than a week ago; are there interviews on the calendar?  Are we on pace to select a candidate (if a good one emerges) in the next two weeks, as Dr. Wilhoyte suggested?[/quote]
