Kiev - School Report Question and Answers
Administration-parent communication:
B: The is a new director this year, so I am hoping this will improve. He seems great. The two principals, while they are always available, their responsiveness is lacking. - Oct 2013
C - There is a Friday whole-school newsletter transmitted by email to all stakeholders. In addition, ES, MS, and HS Directors of Instruction (DIs) send out monthly newsletters. DIs make time to see parents. However, embassy parents have not been impressed with the administration's responsiveness to safety and bullying issues; the tendency has been to somehow explore how the victim could be at fault. I believe that the school lacks policies and procedures to discipline students in a fair, transparent, and systematic way. The administration is developing these types of policies, but we felt that a school with a 20-year history would be further along the road to becoming a credible, open educational institution. - Jul 2013
