I am not sure how she came about the idea of retiring. She has since visited the district and you can still tell when she enters the room. There is a tense feeling as everyone is on edge...:shh, Dr. Witaker is in the office" is what you would hear people say, as if they were afraid she would fire them on the spot for doing something wrong. With the new superintendent, no one knows when he enters a room. A short

    Henson, the assistant principal, lacks the communicator trait. Henson has not taken any opportunities to communicate with the parents, students, staff, or community this year. Due to his lack of communication skills he has not fostered any relationships with individuals who he will interact with next year as the head principal.

According to standard ten of the Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (2015), a school leader should continuously seek the improvement of every aspect of schools. The superintendent should be addressing any misconceptions that are brought to the superintendents’ cabinets. The weekly meetings that were being held should be to discover methods and strategies to improve student success and develop professional and knowledgeable employees. Instead, this superintendent seems to protect others from being held accountable for what they say and do. According to standard two, school leaders should promote effective communication, set professional norms, promote integrity, fairness, transparency, trust, collaboration, perseverance, learning, continuous improvement, and professional behavior. This superintendent does not conduct himself as an example for others to follow and does not uphold professionalism while conducting meetings with the assistant superintendent; therefore, one must wonder what other business affairs have been conducted in an unprofessional manner and to what

Every individual in the classroom were required to wear badges to indicate that they were safe to work with the children. Once I walked into the main room where the children were being cared for I noticed that there were a great verity of temperaments displayed by the children.

    As an administrator the first thing I would have done was ensure I did not have a husband/wife team. I have worked in districts where immediate family was not allowed to work on the same campus. Barring that, a faculty meeting should have been called to address the issue. Obviously, this involved many problems of confidentiality, but had the incident been addressed, instead of being ignored, some of the rumor would have been shut down. In addition, the students and teachers involved in the schedule changes needed to be addressed. During this conflict the advanced placement students were told they were moving to the new teachers’ class before the teacher was even told, preventing her from being able to lessen the stress for the students during the transition.

I have been going there with my family every year since I was a young child. It is a pretty small restaurant. While one side has a bar, the other side is more family oriented. It is a child friendly place that has a small area that toddlers and young kids can play. It has coloring books and small toys.
