[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are seven open teaching positions on HA’s website at the moment. That’s a relatively large number, especially this late in the school year. Private school contracts usually renew in late January to early March. Prior to contract renewal, there is a period where teachers who do not plan to come back can provide notice. Hiring usually takes place in March and April. Some schools are still looking to hire in May, and sometimes resignations occur over summer break.

I grew up in the area and work in education. Several friends are alumnae and/or have worked for HA. The new head has put off a lot of experienced teaching and administrative staff. That doesn’t necessarily mean she’s a bad choice of head. The school seems to be doing just fine with enrollment, fundraising, and revenue. However, if things don’t settle soon, sustainably staffing the school with high-quality educators may become difficult.[/quote]

This is all true, and anyone who knows anything about private schools knows it.[/quote]

Very true that it is late for teacher hiring [/quote]
