This is indeed the new principal hire. Why did you call him “an absolute tool”?

Must confess I’ve never heard of Gannon University.


Gannon is a hidden gem! Smaller (3K undergrad students) private Catholic university. Has a very strong tradition of community service and supportive student culture.

Not super selective (average SAT is about 1100). They have some great clinical opportunities for students interested in the health professions. Solid financial aid!

When did a school board meeting become a trial

No the parent shared their thoughts and feelings about the matter

The parent wasn’t under oath so you know if the parent said anything incorrect they won’t be jailed for failing to speak 100% correctly

About two sex offender hires

Look hiring people is hiring people, do any of you responding here work in HR or interview panels? Do you ask your potential employees if they frequent child porn sites, do you ask about their masturbating habits, perhaps if they are homosexual or trans, do you ask if they like watching videos of animals having sex, do you ask if they like writing lewd messages in their private time on adult themed websites, etc

So wait you don’t ask that? Why is that would it be because it’s not appropriate

People with issues get hired in positions and some do fine and you never hear anything. Others you find out about but being like principal Greer should’ve known the football coach liked lewd role play and the former student with developmental issues might be caught whipping it out during the school day (or whatever happened there)

The point is you can’t predict all these things in advance. Hell if you tried you’d probably never hire anyone. Imagine oh hi I’m applying for a job as teacher oh and I was a former catholic priest

Hiring panel: no sorry can’t hire you obviously your a child pedophile who raped alter boys

See how that works best huh

Anyone she likely left for more money cushy office in gatehouse less stress etc

Hope Langley gets a good replacement though, but if she’s staying on until new hire is in place that tells me that she does care about the students, staff, and school (despite what parents might think)

Sometimes people leave and they’re like I’m out Nov 1, and Nov 1 comes and there is no one as interim even in place. Be happy that she’s trying to support the transition and not just dip out


A corporate recruiter here and this is bull***T. All hirings are contingent on a clear background check. Sexual predators would not have a clear background check and this would have showed up as part of their background check, and the offer could have been rescinded if it had already been extended to them. Most companies hire AFTER the background check has been completed and cleared.

parents there are very challenging. I am sure they hope they will get a white man to take her place.



I just heard they're getting a Vice Principal from Oakton to take the principal position at Langley. Yes, indeed a white man. He's an absolute tool, and I feel sorry for Langley. Especially the SpEd students.

Can you share some drama about the Westfield principal?


I can. He is not there to protect students-he likes to gaslight and make the problems in his school the students fault. But it seems most admin are like this so....


Without specific examples it sounds like your child is a behavior problem. If a high school principal is not holding students accountable for poor choices they aren’t doing their job.


Different Westfield parent. I had an issue I needed to escalate to him. It was a simple admin thing, like getting a student id before school started so student could ask class schedule. Something like that. Student and I both trying to get info from other admin folks to resolve prior to school, but didn’t get resolved. Principal ghosted and never responded to me. Frankly found it pretty rude, but someone else finally resolved.


Westfield admin They do have some good teachers and coaches though~we appreciate them!
