Please—I need your help! We have an awesome school, with a good Catholic principal, who embraces and believes in Catholic values. He is a tremendous person who in the two years since he joined our school, has NOT been able to do what he wants, because the former principal, a short timer who resigned to spend time with her grandchildren, then regretted that decision as soon as the search process started. Since then, she’s gotten a parent whom she was very close to to try and first, get the search process ended and keep her part time (so she could have the best of both worlds) and then tried to get the last two pastors to fire this guy and bring her back. She can not LEAVE this school alone. Her grandson goes here now and she’s trying hard to get back in now by creating chaos amongst the parents she was close to and getting them to create anger and hatred toward this principal.
The new principal has tried to be Christian about this and give her the benefit of the doubt. He even put her on the school advisory council. along with her favorite parent, in an effort to let them be part of the solution. And they are using it against him. Already, they’ve stacked our first survey with people who are slamming him. They’re now having a special meeting for “voting members” only in order to discuss a “strategic plan of action”. I’ve seen this show before—it’s a complete blindsiding. Other members don’t know this, but I do.
PLEASE—the former principal is woman who plays political games, parents against each other, doesn’t support the school—she’d sell us under. She and her ex-secretary have dragged this man’s name through the mud—she meddles in the affairs of families who come to her still if they don’t like an answer this principal gives them. I see this and it hurts because I don’t want my child in an environment taken over by a powerful little coup of parents led by someone who wants to only lead when it doesn’t interfere with her vacation/retirement from public school life. I’m scared—my son is happy here. My daughter will tell you, the past principal did NOTHING to help with bullying, bad situations if it involved her favorite families/teachers. I don’t want to have to pull my son from what is now a faith filled environment. He does so wonderful there. But if this woman returns…
The current principal and the pastor do not always see eye to eye—and the pastor has hurt the school by being very critical of the kids. There is a pastoral associate who is, to say the least—out there. She stirs up trouble and chaos just to deflect from the fact she isn’t doing her job. The pastor knows this. I have tried to tell the school advisory chair about the games. He said he would take it under advisement.
I need prayers for this principal. He does not deserve the level of criticism he is getting–he always tries to be fair. He is brilliant spiritually and academically and just a few of the parents are really driving the game playing. He has had some issues taking care of a sick family member and his own health has failed a tad because of it–but he’s young and can pull through. Most like him, as do the teachers. But he is going to be attacked tonight. I know it. I REALLY AM ASKING FOR PRAYERS.
I need good to ride out over evil. We need him to stay.
