[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Herndon HS having 3 admins leave all of a sudden seems like somewhere the higher ups have something brewing. 
Where is the stability for the students?! Aren’t schools student centered?! Students will go back to school after a 4 day weekend to HUGE changes. Once again people have been involuntarily moved before a long break and given ZERO time to say goodbye. 1 day to pack up and go… where is the humanity?! Middle of the year changes, complete nonsense! Students, staff, and families have zero time to process, but are expected to act like this is “normal”!!!!!  :?: This is definitely a [b]choice[/b].[/quote]
Yes, this is the part that seems suspicious. Tochterman is going to Madison to fill a vacancy, but why are they swapping an administrator from South Lakes with one from Herndon High School? What is the reasoning behind that decision? Is the goal to give Gatehouse more influence over how Herndon is run, or is it to make it easier to destaff Herndon staff by bringing in someone without the same relationships or emotional investment that current administrators have built with staff?[/quote]

Herndon has lost 270 kids over the past three years.  How could they not de-staff with that declining enrollment, unless there's enough regular teacher attrition to keep everyone there who wants to stay there?

That type of decline isn't unique to Herndon, by the way.  Over the same period, Centreville has lost over 400 students. [/quote]
