Frustrations with Valdez School District continue after high school principal resignation

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Several teachers were in tears at Monday night’s Valdez school board meeting where parents and teachers expressed a variety of frustrations with the district, including frustrations with the process to replace former high school principal Gayle Brown.and search for a new high school principal were the context to many of the parents’ and teachers’ frustrations.

“The screening process itself left us with one candidate who then, of course, only stayed a few days,” high school economics teacher Lee Chadwick said. “That was a bit frustrating, obviously, that we had no say or input into that although we attempted to.” “Because of our messed up schedule this year, kids will have this hour, that hour, or the other hour,” Chadwick said. “They’re wandering the school. If you walk into the gym, you’ll find kids in there pretty much all hours of the day. There’s no lunch supervision anywhere. There’s no bus supervision. We’re setting ourselves up for a lawsuit I believe.”“We’re kind of the laughing stock of Alaska,” Hopkins said. “We are a small school in a small town in a state, and everything gets around.
