It is hard to receive return phone calls from the principal and an urgent situation can take days to finally make contact with the principal to discuss the situation.

Three of those teachers are no longer at Conley. The campus feels different. I don't get a sense of excitement and fun when I am there, it so subdued. Change is not always good and the change of Mrs. ALexander becoming principal has not been good for Conley. Read less
