mae0111: I’m really frustrated by the lack of update from the principal. I want a proper investigation done, but given the totality of the circumstances the principal absolutely should give you a daily update (even if it is just: I am still looking into this issue).
I am sorry your child and family are experiencing this.
If this is a small private school, the principal has failed by not immediately having all parties involved in a meeting with legal representation and some mental health professionals.
We had a similar issue at our small private school last year. It was handled poorly. By year end, multiple faculty had not been renewed for the next year, two boys expelled from my daughter’s class mid year and multiple families did not renew their contracts and it gutted the school population.
I know it sucks but I would be looking at other schools.
