SK>What I couldn't believe was some of the behavior of faculty when they

Yes....and this could happen at our school as well.  I hope not and I 
certainly want no part of it.  It seems to me an appropriate thing to do
is to go about business as usual including a good-bye get-together.  She
is leaving of her own will (though some of us think with a bit of 
pressure).  Nonetheless, I think it is important that the staff grant 
her some dignity and treat her with the professional respect due her 
position.
The principal before this one was not liked by some on our staff, though
many of us did like him.  He got to be a personal friend of mine and 
when he gave his resignation speech I fell apart.  I went immediately to
his office (after the meeting which was just before school was to start 
for the day) and I balled like a baby!  He's out of education for good 
and is running a small business.  His health (emotional and physical) 
has much improved.)
