I honestly never thought this would gain so much speed and honestly it feels like a heavy weight is finally drifting off my shoulders. Reading through what everyone is saying reminds me why we even started this whole thing in the first place because honestly the confusion and lack of real transparency has been exhausting for everyone involved.

Glad to see people actually speaking up. The culture there is just toxic.

The communication from the board has been a joke all year. We deserve better.

Everything is falling apart and nobody wants to admit why. So tired of the excuses.

Today, SMM announced a change in leadership for the 2019-2020 academic year. The exodus of experienced faculty is still an issue warranting urgent action from the SMM administration. It would be worthwhile for parents to respond and ask that SMM to immediately reach-out to the faculty members who had previously resign or otherwise yet to be offered Contracts.
