Jack Perry, the original founder and executive director of Prestige Academy has, ahem, chosen to resign at the end of this school year according to a letter from the board of directors addressed to parents of students.
This has nothing to do with my story from earlier today since this letter is dated January 28th. I would have no way to explain how this out of nowhere news would happen the day after I wrote another article about a Delaware charter leader being let go. Charter leaders never resign, unless they embezzled tons of money from the school. Wait, that’s not always the case. But that is not the case here!
To date this year, heads of school have resigned or been terminated at Academy of Dover, Family Foundations Academy, Academia Antonia Alonso, and now Prestige Academy. I’m not sure what the current status is concerning Odyssey Head of School Nick Manalakos, but I did post an article last December indicating he may be making a switch to a Kent County charter.
I would have to assume Mr. Perry wants to resign, for whatever reason. I do find it interesting the board said his tenure was “beyond the typical duration for a founding leader”.
In other news, the question of the day will be “Can you read between the lines?”
