Fair enough. It’s also possible things will settle down as he continues to get his feet wet. We don’t know. I do know that many of the new teachers he hired were very popular with the community. I know my kid had a great year at Navy this past year. We liked the new principal. I believe he didn’t get swayed by gossip or the clique and probably held teachers accountable to some new standards they weren’t used to. I also know there were some tough classes with certain kids with severe behavioral issues - I’m sure that played a part as well. [/quote]

I will add that holding teachers accountable is not the reason for departures.  He's not a mean person nor is he a micro manager.  I'm finger pointing at you but comments posted by others saying the staff was lazy and lax under Jon and didn't like being held at a different standard under the current regime is completly untrue.

Since you mentioned it, I will say you are spot on with some behavioral issues.  [b]Multiple repeat instances where things were escalated to Admin and nothing was done or handled. [/b] His personality seems like he's non-confrontational and passive.  But in a leadership postion, you need to support your staff and take charge.

I think people will find this happens at many schools. [/quote]
