New Leadership at Thomas Pullen
It is the belief of the following that Thomas Pullen is suffering from the effects of poor leadership. Support the call for a new principal at Thomas Pullen with your signature.
Why is this important?
Poor leadership is a cancer to any organization, especially a school. It can manifest itself in many ways, including: low morale; poor communication; unprofessionalism; mismanagement of resources; lack of motivation and inspiration; and feelings of betrayal, mistrust, and disregard among the constituents being served and retaliation among those who ask questions or demand accountability. Children learn very early on how to navigate a system to their advantage and we can not afford another 7 years of "hoping" things get better. If our children continue to be exposed to inadequate leadership with meager expectations, they have a greater chance of becoming inadequate students who give meager effort. The time is now.
