[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't realize that private school teachers had a new employment contract each years, seems stressful. I knew they were at-will, I just figured they were let go if there were problems or a school shut down. I never thought about the idea of laying off some teachers. Though I could see schools laying off admin staff if needed sometimes.

Yes, private school teachers are extremely vulnerable to administrations that are abusive or incompetent. I wish boards and parents listened more careful to teacher concerns about leadership.[/quote]

This right here. It is imperative that boards have a system in place to check in with faculty on an annual basis. Switch out Lowell for a handful of other DMV schools and the same issues exist: institutions being held together by their incredibly talented and overworked faculty while mediocre leadership circles the drain until someone breaks. It’s happening every day and parents are funding it.[/quote]
