Description:
David Disselhorst went into Mrs. Emery's office on July 11th and basically quit. He did provide a letter stating he was submitting his resignation effective immediately. I did not accept or approve the resignation since the resignation comes after the penalty-free resignation period (inside of 45 days prior to the first day of instruction). He told Mrs. Emery, "You know the definition of insanity, right?" Mrs. Emery replied, "Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result." He said, "Exactly. And that's all it's been here since I started." He then walked out without saying a word.
