Stamford Investigation Continues: Starr was Board of Ed's Only Employee

...In 2011, the four Stamford High assistant principals asked to meet with then-Superintendent Joshua Starr to explain their concerns about Valentine's handling of multiple incidents at the school. The incidents included a report from a ninth-grade girl that a teacher had touched her breast.

Starr responded by transferring three of the assistant principals.
The members of the Board of Education accepted Starr's move. He then left Stamford for another job.

 But the assistant principals were adamant. All four of them took the unprecedented step of hiring their own attorney, who wrote a letter to then-board President Polly Rauh and the new superintendent, Winifred Hamilton, outlining the concerns about Valentine's leadership....

...But there has been reason to soul-search and get more involved for five years.
In 2010, Jackie Heftman, who was board president then and is now, explained to The Advocate why members were publicizing Starr's annual evaluation for the first time. "The superintendent is the only employee the Board of Education has," Heftman said.
