Well it's been awhile since my last post but you know how it is … life that is, other things take priority and this little indulgence of mine just had to take a back seat. I’m back to it now, but who knows for how long and what else is just coming over the hill.
Michael continues to be a huge problem but not directly with me.
He’s moved on to intimidate and be difficult with others.
I know because as a senior manager, others have discussed their difficulties with Michael with me and Philip, the Headteacher, has talked confidentially with me about complaints about Michael from other staff.
He tells me he is seeking advice from the local district authority but thinks he has the evidence now to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Michael.
At last, he seems to be taking things seriously.
I offer to help and support in whatever way I can and ask Philip to keep me informed.
Lessons learned/What I could have done differently
I discover some months later that yet again, Philip had lied to me. You would have thought that I'd have learned my lesson by now and not believed a word uttered by Philip.
