A mong the topics that were highly discussed by our parents association was the departure of Principal William Stark, which later broke out into disputes and suggestions concerning taking action against the Board of Education. As all of us know, Principal Stark will be leaving Bronx Science and moving on to a new job. Stark has shown great leadership qualities and excellent effort in his work. His recent construction of a new and closer relationship with Columbia has been a great commodity for Bronx Science. He has even secured this relationship even with his departure.
Many teachers agree that it is difficult to cope with a loss of one of the greatest principals.
Although, Principal Stark's decision was sudden, I can understand the long and pointless struggle he had to put up with. Hearing this news, Mr. Stark did not want to put up with this struggle any longer. For those who were mistaken, he did not search for another job, instead a few days after this incident he was offered a job to become principal of Manhasset High School in Long Island. M any parents were outraged over this decision and believed that the Chancellor and Board of Education has gone too far. They have constantly ignored their complaints and remarks concerning Mr. Stark and other issues such as the hiring of new teachers.
