yes, the council could have reigned it in at some point.  stepped up to say ok, thank you..we have noted your concerns and interactions with principal lange, now let's explore other(?) areas of concern...  do we have any community members here who are not employed by 4J that would like to speak?  she may have problems working up the hierarchy of 4J as well as the teachers. she made the mistake, i think, that i made in my first supervisory position.  i was very young and new to that type of responsibility and thought."hot diggity - now i can delegate the to do things to"my workers".   what a fiasco!  i was straightened out right away by my bosses and had a probationary period.  i did a terrible job until i had some guidance.
