[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like she was enforcing policy on minor infractions that were previously ignored — that may not be a bad thing.

And why are they upset they called an ambulance for a teacher?  I assume there was some medical distress and someone in that state may not be a reliable decision maker for what is “frivolous”. That seems like a principal that is somewhat interested in their well being?

I am the first to be skeptical of her, as I disliked her focus on immersion, but at same time this seems more like a labor dispute chaffing at new managing in an already heightened environment rather than whole sale toxic principal.

I’m on a board of a non profit and I have seen heightened tension between staff and managers as well[/quote]

Disagree on the first point about minor infractions being written up. I am an administrator and I am letting those go because teachers have too much on their plate and everyone is stressed. As long as those are not impacting children I am letting it go. This is not the year to be policing people for minor things. If you do it right, a simple conversation asking if everything is all right will do. Sometimes I find out there were babysitting issues…boy, I am glad they eventually showed up, even if a bit late, and the kids have a teacher and not a sub. Micromanaging is exhausting and futile.
