Had a writeup last week. Basically, a) he was never qualified to hold the job and b) he's dismissed any/all input from staff regarding major decisions.
Also a general decline in student safety based on past instances which weren't appropriatly addressed.

Is BLA staffed with a bunch of high-seniority teachers with one foot in the retirement home the way that BLS (reportedly) is staffed?

I guess there were some activities (bullying, assaults) that Mr. Gavin did not give his full support to or remedy, so the teachers gave him a no-confidence vote.
where do you see these comments?

I wonder if the central BPS Mafia will back the teachers or the principal?

You have to be terrible at your job to get numbers like that.

to bring back the elected school committee, and it’s Wu who didn’t respect that vote. Like all the prior administrations, you can thank them for the failing school system.
