How important is the Head of School?

Really liked HOS Hirschfeld at St. Paul’s, but were appalled at how Board President Archibald Cox Jr. and fellow Trustees handled the Labrie/Prout criminal matter, dealt with her and her family, and in repeated instances seemed to choose protection of the school’s reputation over transparency.

Helpful to consider both the HOS and a school’s Board, if possible.

Wishing Hirschfeld well at Kent, where I suspect he will have a freer hand to do the right thing.
