A new principal

... or maybe two new principals??

So update at my school: the past 5 days have been without a principal because our has been "under investigation." It really sounds worse than it was - basically, they just had a bunch of people from the school board in and out of our school due to a heightened number of complaints not only about the principal not doing a great job, but about how everything at our school was basically falling apart; i.e. multiple fights in one day, six last Thursday to be exact, and two of those were before the first bell.

Just about every teacher was interviewed, all the school's dirty laundry was aired, everyone got their complaints out of their system and drumroll please...

Welcome Mr. Smith as our new principal. Yes, only 13 weeks after the start of a new school year with a new principal, we have another!

This new guy seems legit though. He works for the school board, was both a high school and middle school teacher as well as a principal before and from what I've gathered from other teachers, he was a really good principal. Hopefully things are going to be looking up from now on at, what my students have deemed, Glen Oaks FIGHTING Magnet High School. Oh, they are creative, aren't they?
