Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Has Dr. Jenkins spearheaded this protest towards his early retirement?
A: No. Dr. Jenkins has remained silent due to his obligations towards a Non-Disclosure Agreement. This protest is being driven by the SJS Community which includes the students, teachers and alumni. Because the announcement of a 'retirement' was so abrupt and during the middle of a school year, many are speculating that Dr. Jenkins was 'muscled' out by the Headmaster, SJS BOT and the Bishop. Some have even stepped forward with knowledge of a conspiracy to remove Dr. Jenkins from the school using unethical and unprofessional means.

Q: Is Dr. Dale Jenkins accused of committing a crime?
A: No, Dr. Jenkins has not committed any crimes and did not retire because of any inappropriate actions.

Q: So why all the fuss?
A: The SJS BOT's silence in this matter is greatly affecting Dr. Jenkins reputation because some are 'assuming' there must have been improper behavior on his part.

Q: Did Dr. Jenkins want to 'retire'.
A: Dr. Jenkins has said nothing on this issue, however when asked if he would 'return' should the BOT ask him to, he simply answers 'I never wanted to go.' So you make the decision!

Q: Is this site and the outrage because Dr. Jenkins may have been asked to 'resign'? And if so, doesn't the school have a right to make its own personnel decisions?
A: Tricky question. Yes and No. True the school has a right to hire or fire anyone it chooses, however there are ways in which this is done on both a moral and ethical basis. After 26 years of committed service to the school and a great performance record the school does have some moral obligations to treat this man better.

Q: If Dr. Jenkins was 'asked' to 'retire', what led to this request by the school?
A: Those facts are not clear. In fact nothing is very clear, and therefore the outrage by the general SJS community at the handling of this most important issue by the SJS BOT and Headmaster.

Q: Who are on the SJS BOT?
A: We will list them out on this site at later date.
