I'm curious if Haven's (wonderful, IMO) principal was grateful that the school's Board liaison took such a principled stand against offering tangible, in-person support with the broader school community - a stand that resulted in her doing basically nothing - during a time when every available hand should have been on-deck to help a struggling school.

TBH I think he realized that the central admin including the supposed head of “culture and climate” and Dr. Horton, and also the board were not going to help and potentially making things worse. And he and the VPs and social workers worked from within to strengthen relationships with students, families and teachers and the last two years have proven out that was more effective than anything our “equity focused” board has done. And then Soo La had the nerve to get another dig at Haven when they talked about downsizing the 5th Ward school to not have middle school.
Agree! Haven's turnaround these past two years is 100% due to the principal, teachers, leadership team, staff and parent community. IMO the Board gets zero credit and, in fact, actually served to continually destabilize the school community with their unfair and ill-informed commentary.
Biz still should have shown up, at least one time.

Probably about as much as he appreciated Horton basically throwing him under the bus during the school town hall that was finally held.
