Communication Breakdown

It has now been thirteen days since the Eagle Ridge Academy Board of Directors appeared ready to hire a new executive director following their board meeting on Thursday, June 5. Disappointingly, yet not surprisingly, the Eagle Ridge Academy Board of Directors Communication Committee, co-chaired by Len Twetan and Jim Romportl, has yet to release any details of the search process or of the outcome of the meeting on the fifth, even though those who attended were privy to the Board's deliberations. And, now we find that the board relisted the executive director position on EdPost on Friday, June 13.

While we are on the topic of job postings and lack of communication, let's take a look at ALL the EdPost listings. Do you know which teachers are coming back or leaving? Will there be a major overhaul with all the staff?
It's a fairly extensive list, yet the board would leave us to our own imaginations rather than provide us with any news or information.
  • Eagle Ridge Academy seeks a dynamic music teacher to join our classical, college-prep, public charter school. Minnesota music teaching license and experience preferred.
  • Eagle Ridge Academy seeks a dynamic humanities teacher to join our classical, college-prep, public charter school. Minnesota humanities teaching license and experience preferred.
  • Eagle Ridge Academy seeks a dynamic Latin teacher to join our classical, college-prep, public charter school. Minnesota Latin teaching license and experience preferred.

For what it is worth, Laura Langhoff mentioned in the last meeting that they were required to post positions where a current teacher had the job and was not licensed. I inferred that this was a way of keeping the State, the teachers union…somebody happy. I took it to mean that the postings didn’t mean that there were in fact openings available. To be honest, I was a bit distracted with the sobbing emitting from the folks who were not elected to the board… or was it those who were elected… I can’t remember, I was too busy sobbing.

Speaking of S.O.B, we haven’t heard from “the lesser” lately what’s up with that?

Your passionate friend and parent.

Cup a Jello.
