[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In reading between the lines and glancing at the new HOS background and the two schools she previously ran, my guess is that the new HOS is more pragmatic and less DEI focused than the previous head, and that's rubbed off the more progressive wing of the parents who see this as a rejection of their beliefs, fitting the pattern of progressives reactions to people who aren't in lockstep with their beliefs (as Fetterman himself said a few days ago). To them, they're seeing a regression from the morally righteous path. So they're upset.

To other parents who aren't as enamored of a lot of DEI, the new head seems perfectly fine and competent.

The former head was there for a long time, too long in my opinion, the idea of a HOS and how the school should run is based on her. Any successor to Susanna was always going to have a hard time. Penny isn’t warm and fuzzy either so that doesn’t help her. I think with Susanna departing, the board took the opportunity to make some changes, they fall under Penny’s tenure so they are her policies.

Communication is an issue and this is squarely on Penny; to her credit if something isn’t going to work (like final exams time) she walks it back.[/quote]
