As if there weren't enough difficulties surrounding the appointment of Dr. Shai Kern as the director of the Aliya Anthroposophical School in Bat Galim, yesterday he announced that for personal reasons he will not start managing the school. About three weeks to start running the school.
As I recall, the Anthroposophical School started operating a year ago and the person who founded it was Dr. Itai Paz. During the year he managed the school and was highly regarded. The number of students at the school grew from a few dozen to over 100 students, with some of the students coming to the school from other neighborhoods in the city Because of the approach in which the school can (the school is regional).
Before going to the tender, the parents expressed support for Paz, and requested both the municipality and the Ministry of Education in the district to allow Paz to run the school for another year. According to the parents, Paz was promised that he would manage the school during the school's founding period, and the school is still in its founding period. On the other hand, the municipality and the Ministry of Education believed that there was a need for a director who had gone through a tender and had all the necessary certificates in order to manage an elementary school.
Immediately after Keren announced that he would not manage the school, Paz announced that after working with Keren for a week, he realized that it was a mistake to stay at the school as a teacher under a new principal, and he also intends to finish working at the school. He issued a letter to the parents, in which he attacks the municipality and the Ministry of Education in the district in an unprecedented manner and claims that throughout his year of working at the school they heaped many difficulties on him, so now he does not wish to continue at the school.
The Ministry of Education in the district gave the following response:
Dr. Shay Kern asked not to run the Anthroposophical School for personal reasons, we respect his request and wish him success in the future. In the coming days a new director will be appointed to the school.
