VALRICO - The situation might be stressful at Alafia Elementary School, but the problems aren't irreparable.
That was the conclusion of a 16-member school district assessment team sent to Alafia Elementary School on Oct. 21 to investigate charges that the school's principal, Ellyn Smith, is responsible for poor staff morale and high teacher turnover.
On Monday, the assessment team, composed of administrators from other schools, school counselors and district officials, met with Alafia staff to go over the results of its assessment.
Among its recommendations, the team said the administration should "eliminate practices that foster fear of intimidation and retaliation."
The team also suggested organizing a committee of administrators, developing a parent involvement plan, increasing the administration's visibility and accessibility, scheduling faculty recognition and award initiatives, and forming committees for staff input into decision making.
