She's principal here now, and she has a following much like Charles Manson...let's just say that I saw a post on FB regarding the atmosphere of the school since she arrived and it likened it to a prison. Followed by almost replies from nearly 40 different people agreeing. There are only 300 kids in that building...
The rumor is that the district she came from brought her in to "clean up" some poor teachers, but that once that was done, she was scooted on out the door for her over the top strict policies I'll never know the reason she was brought in - that couldn't be confirmed - but it might be possible to find out if she left voluntarily or not.
There's a bit of networking beginning here. We'll see where it goes. I'm putting my name and number out. People are very afraid of retaliation in a small town, and rightfully so, but I'm hopeful at least a few will step forward.
Interestingly, one lady I recently talked to takes her son to a therapist who told her that every so often, he sees a "plague"; he sees a quantitiy of kids that have a common problem. This doctor told her he sees a "plague" in this elementary school. And she's only been there 6 months! Unfortunately, the lady I was talking to does not know any other children from the building that see this doctor, but I did ask her to give him my name and number and feel free to hand it out to those people if they wish. I don't expect much, but we'll see.
