Elementary School Principal Suddenly Announces Her Departure

Yet Another Departure from Emery Unified

  

  Whispered Sinking Ship Metaphors Heard

Among Parents

Parents of Anna Yates Elementary students received the letter below in their "Wednesday packets" from Principal Jaguanana Lathan announcing that as of June 27, 2014 she "will be leaving" her position with Emery Unified. Nothing in her letter indicates whether she resigned or was fired and she does not indicate what her next career move will be.

The letter sent another shock wave through the Emeryville community that has seen the Superintendent of the schools announce her retirement and then saw her departure date accelerated, that saw the Emeryville Center for 'Community' Life  Project Manager retire and then its most outspoken booster on the School Board, Joshua Simon, also announce his departure from the School Board.  Now the Elementary School Principal is gone too, and that's just the departures since October.   This District has a less than spotless hiring record, and citizens may continue to see a revolving door for administrators as the much touted and over promised Center of 'Community' Life begins construction.
