Linda School teacher urges board to reinstate assistant principal Monica Vanderstoev
Summary
A Linda School teacher told the board the site has experienced high turnover in leadership and urged reinstatement of assistant principal Monica Vanderstoev, saying she has been an effective, community-connected administrator who improves student safety and classroom functioning.
Lehi Young, a teacher at Linda School, used public comment at the April 14 meeting to urge the board to reconsider the dismissal of assistant principal Monica Vanderstoev.
Young said Linda School has had multiple principals and assistant principals since the pandemic and that Vanderstoev provided continuity, removed classroom disruptions and counseled students so they could return to learning. “She removes children from the classroom who cause massive disruptions,” Young said, and described the administrator’s interventions as critical to classroom safety and instruction.
The comment was delivered during the public-comment period; no board action was recorded on that item during the meeting.
