WA School for the Blind superintendent resigns, citing harassment and threats

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The longtime superintendent at the Washington State School for the Blind is resigning amid threats from a disgruntled former employee, he announced this month.

“Change can bring fresh energy and perspective, and I am hopeful the agency will continue to grow and thrive in the years ahead,” Scott McCallum wrote in his resignation letter. “I have decided it is best for me and for the WSSB that I resign from my role as superintendent to seek new leadership opportunities.”

McCallum has been the Vancouver school’s superintendent since 2016. Gov. Bob Ferguson reappointed McCallum upon taking office in January.

In his resignation letter to Ferguson, McCallum attributed his departure, effective Aug. 15, partially to “continuous harassment from a former employee that has created significant disruption across the agency.”

1. Please keep us updated on this issue and the court case.

Years ago, when I lived down in Vancouver, I volunteered for two years at the Washington State School for the Deaf, just down the street from The School for the Blind. We often held events for both schools together. There is so much love and support between the two schools. This is just heartbreaking to hear that ONE unglued person can cause so much fear in such an already vulnerable community.

Please, Mama, keep us up to date on the events here.

I am just sickened now.

2. Are they sharing what the harassment is about? That is awful anyway.
