If I may offer, the entire situation is negative, poor confidence, no discipline, and uttermost disrespect to our students,teachers,community. This individual will never earn or deserve a creditable position while working in this field, hands down-he or she has to go.. You can't take away memories,experiences,and over all personalities and just puuutf make them go away . Negative needs to be turned around very quick like- not in this case. Way to much time lapse
In retrospect a principal is the most ultimate position, no questions asked. Time,heart,physical,emotion, and last a reason to do the job. A person has to have gut to perform this task, a calling to speak. I have a feeling it was lost somewhere in the shuffle of crap you had to deal with. Sorry, hope you find peace soon.
