Concerns Over Leadership At St. Louis School Prompt Resignations, Investigation 0 Board members said they’ve taken steps to improve the situation, but not before a slew of departures.
St. Louis School has lost several key staff members this year amid a series of allegations that the school’s president, former pop star Glenn Medeiros, operates a toxic work environment and has retaliated against some of his critics.
In the last six months, the school’s principal, dean of students, vice president of operations and athletic director all resigned in frustration with Medeiros, according to multiple sources and copies of some of their resignation letters. Two board members also quit this year for reasons related to Medeiros.
An investigation commissioned by the board into two employee complaints found that Medeiros treated staff in ways that were “demoralizing” and that he retaliated against a teacher, according to a summary of the investigation produced by a board subcommittee in April. Since then, two additional complaints have been filed against the president.
