Superintendent Rubadeau

A few insights that tell a lot about Superintendent Rubadeau.
One summer a custodian working at Shannon Lake Elementary schools during the summer break was applying fresh wax to the 2nd floor hallways. The entrance doors were all locked & he was alone when there was a noise & voices. Suddenly Rubadeau appeared with 12 or so administrators tromping right over the fresh wax unannounced displaying total disrespect. That was Rubadeau, it would never have dawned on him to show a bit of respect by coming into the school alone first to see if the coast was clear.
Another time a worker was asked to come into the main office to discuss a matter with the Director of Human Resources, Alan Akehurst. While the worker was sitting in the lobby waiting area Rubadeau came out to the reception desk with some phony reason just to get a look him. Rather than simply go over & introduce himself as a mature administrator would do, he acted in a very childish manner. Click on List of Private Schools
Students of friends have commented seeing Rubadeau driving out of the administration office parking lot the wrong way ignoring the school district's traffic signs. Seems traffic rules are not for Rubadeau to abide by. Such a poor example Rubadeau sets for students. Later they saw him driving his vehicle while talking on his cell phone. Again Rubadeau sets a poor example.
