Fieldston head of school resigned, citing he and his boyfriend want to return to MA. I'm so pissed that all the effort to find someone and this guy just uses us as a pit stop.

      • is this for real? We just toured 2 days ago and no mention of that. They did mention that their head came from Milton and that they were moving in the direction of now grades in the HS as well. That didn't sit well with me.

      • The Interim head of EC will now act as the interim head of ECFS. What a disaster!

      • it's so sad when a school bends over backwards to please its limo lib/gay-and-lesbian families by hiring a gay guy who clearly had zero interest and couldn't wait to get back to his place in the country and start redecorating the bejesus out of it.

    • I'm confused. The head of Fieldston (which division?) or the head of the whole ECFS?

      • The head of whole ECFS. The school can't keep the faculty. Head of EC quit last year...haven't filled the spot. The place is a mess.

        • The head of EC was around retirement age and had been there for quite a while. Not the same thing. Don't rumormonger.

    • This sounds too flaky to be true. It sounds like it fulfills the stereotype of gay self involved man seeking self actualization. Or is it just rumors? I find it hard to believe Fieldston would have recruited someone who didn't have a long term commitment to the job.

      • Or maybe its too messed up to keep anyone.

      • Maybe he wants a formal, long-term commitment to his boyfriend. If marriage was an option for them they might stay.

      • i think the fact that he was gay meant they turned a blind eye to whatever other issues there may have been.

        • maybe he decided to run from all the homophobes here. you guys were seething over that and the minute he announced his plans whipped it out.

      • It is true, but it has NOTHING to do with his being gay. Come one, people.

    • Meanwhile, EC is also searching for a new head. The current head is an interim head.
